| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. ^^^ Jafant ...Prior to obtaining the SR levle 3 PC's, I was using custom PC cables built by Dave Magnan. https://magnancables.wordpress.com/They were experimental PC's that Dave personally made. They were excellent and far better than stock cord... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. jafant ...I keep thinking that the SR level 3 cords are broken in. You'd think so, as I have at least 200 hours on them. BUT, I keep hearing further improvements with each listening session. What I'm getting now is far beyond where I ever imagine... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Charles ...This is the beauty of trickle-down technology.Being a long time user of Audio Research products, I've had to counter those few folks on the forum who continually bash ARC every time ARC comes out with updates on current models or when t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... jond & jafreeman ...You are both entirely welcome. I get a kick out of recommending great performance and recordings to friends. I heard Cal Tjader live at a jazz club called Zardies in Hollywood when I was a senior in high school. That was 60... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Audiolover ...I concur with your assessment on the power cords. Isn't it amazing how the SR fuses and PC's take what you thought was an almost grain-less component like your amp and completely transform it? I have the ARC REF-75se and was already... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles ...I agree on the West Coast jazz.; its very melodic. All of the albums I recommended above are prime examples of it. I use Spotify to play recommended recordings before I consider buying anything that has been recorded over the past 20 y... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... jafreeman ..The next time you listen to "cool" jazz, listen for all of the artificial artifacts the recording engineer added to the sound. Its totally unnatural. A perfect example is the music of Kenny G. Personally, I can't stand to listen to th... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Jafreeman ...I pulled up a bunch of Rick Braun's recordings on Spotify. Never heard of him before your suggestion. I have a comment: Everyone of Braun's recordings are drenched in artificial digital reverb. I know a lot of audiophiles like t... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles ...There were so many great trumpet players in the past, Jack Sheldon among them. But ... Clifford was the bomb. Every time I listen to Clifford Brown I think to myself ... "eat your heart out Winton Marseilles."Here's one of my desert is... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles ... Thank you for the John Lewis recommendation. I have that album on vinyl. On Bill Perkins ... Prior to his passing, he and I lived in the same town. In his "retirement," he formed a group with some local young jazz musicians and they wo... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Agreed, Lak. I thought my system was pretty much grain free before I got into the SR fuses. They have transformed my system from top to bottom. The clarity and textures of instruments are way beyond what I thought possible. On good recordings... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... lak ...As the old sage said: "You ain't heard nuttin' yet. :-) | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... For those of you still playing vinyl, here's one that my friend Robert brought over last night ... Its demo quality and thanks to the grain-less nature of the system brought about by the SR Black fuses, the musicians and vocalists are in the room.... | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear fatgisil ...I hate to say this, but your problem may be with your ears. I had friend who had the same problem and every time the volume was raised above a very low level, it hurt his ears. If I were you, I'd go to a doctor who specializes in heari... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... mapman ...Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Yes, I did receive your package ... thanks. I had to set it aside until I have the time to figure out how to use it. I was going to let you know the results at that time. So far ... its just b... |
