| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK geoffkait ...If the stock tube rings from ARC "suck," why is there such an improvement with them in the proper placement, and why the degradation of the sound when they are totally removed from the tubes? I don't like to guess. What tube dampener... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... aolmrd1241 .... Thanks for your input on the Legacy Signature III's. With certain mods, and tube electronics, the Sig III's are a fantastic speaker that performs, at least in my system, way beyond their price point. Over the years I've had a mult... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK ^^^^ Well, you know me ... I love "voodoo," .... fuses, cables, etc. :-) | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wait ...I've been thinking about the REL S/5 and not the REL T/5.This is the one: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/rel-s5-subwoofer/Anyone using this?Thanks ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^Nyame ... I believe it. I thought I was getting good bass from my full range Legacy Signature III's until I heard Bob's (fellow A'goner) system. Bob uses a pair of Venture speakers, a great speaker in its own right, and he's added a sub woofer ... | |
| Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK ^^^ Reducing micro vibrations is a major key in obtaining a highly resolving system. As a vinyl lover, the only thing I want vibrating is that needle in the record groove. So many in the hobby, especially newbies, aren't aware of what can be do... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Andynotadam ... Nice. Very nice. I looked into my bucket for the list ... and lo and behold, a REL subwoofer is on the list. I'd be interested t hear about the changes, if any, as the fuse in the sub breaks in. OP | |
| Just entered the world of high resolution audio In another era, I'd say ... buy a good turntable, arm and cartridge ... and start hitting the thrift stores, garage sales and used record stores. Oh wait ... its still appropriate for this era too. :-) | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Have the prices of the speakers (and everything else) gone up ... or has the value of the money gone down? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ We didn't have those fancy transistor radios when I was a kid. They weren't invented yet. I think they came into fashion in the early 60's, if I'm not mistaken. In fact, everything had tubes, including the radio I used to take under the cove... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Thanks David ...We have a lot in common, David. During the early 50's I lived in Los Angeles with my Mom in a studio apartment. She slept on a sofa bed and I slept on a bed that folded down from the wall. I'd listen to the blues on my small ... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Classical .... by composer.Jazz ... by instrument ... except for the West Coast jazz groups and big bands. They have their own sections. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Agreed, Charles. I thoroughly enjoy the Belafonte album. In Impex's 45 rpm reissue the sound quality is exemplary and very much alive. For your pleasure:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48aQbh1lV1shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtNZm9KXm8wh... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles ...Belafonte really isn't much of a blues singer, but that album sure is demo quality. Belafonte should have stuck with the calypso stuff. To me, he sounds like Bobby Short trying to sing Led Zeppelin songs. Hard to pull that off. :-)I'v... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Slaw ... Its not very likely that equipment mfg's will be willing to put the SR Black after market fuses in their electronics. Everything has to be marked up in price as it moves along the market trail. If a mfg. pays a dollar for any given part... |
