| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? I've spent the past 38 years in the real estate business. The haggling is predominant there too. I can't tell you how many times I've had a seller and a buyer come to an agreement, opened escrow, then 15 days later the buyer wants to start nickle... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Charles ... "blooming wide open" is exactly what the RED fuse did in my system. Interestingly enough, it happened between listening sessions overnight with the system turned off. I don't understand this phenomenon, but it has happened on o... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ No coating noted on the end caps. I left the CD player with the two BLACK fuses on "repeat" overnight. Just started listening about 30 minutes ago. Things are really starting to smooth out now. I'm liking what I'm hearing. So far, the BLACKS, ... | |
| How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime? ^^^ Its been said that digital bits completed the job started by transistors ... the ruination of reproduced music in the home.Some of my most enjoyable (and best sounding) recording were never release in stereo. Good examples are Miles Davis' "Ro... | |
| I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon Hey, I down a tablespoon of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar every morning. I definitely wouldn't want to drink a whole glass. And I don't look forward to that tablespoon in the morning either. rzado ,...I agree totally with you. Its hard to believe wh... | |
| Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version Okay, I have the Dimeola/Mclaughlin/Paco album on vinyl. Its been in my collection for many years. I hardly play it though. Yes, it has great AUDIOPHILE sound ... but the music leaves me cold. Why? Because they are all about technique and playing ... | |
| Upgraded banana plugs Don't know the answer to your question, but I hear you on the harder, less musical sound. I bi-wire and have found that the Cardas binding posts and banana plugs get what you are seeking ... a more musical experience with tube magic. | |
| Mylar Belt In case it doesn't work to your satisfaction, I highly recommend ordering a custom belt from originlive. www.originlive.com | |
| Synergistic Research Black fuese There is an entire RED fuse thread in the "Amps & Preamp" section that has evolved into the BLACK fuses. I think at this point its seven pages long. Its all there for you. | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? The ones who really aggravate me the most are those who ask: "what's your bottom line?" When you give them the bottom line, that's where they want to start negotiating. Now when they ask for the bottom line ... I just reply with "make me an offer ... | |
| Would you be more likely to buy new gear out of state if there was no sales tax I've lived in Southern California for 76 of my 77 years on the planet. I can say without a doubt ... California charges taxes for merely existing. If the state legislators could charge California citizens for oxygen intake they would. The last tim... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles ...Once the RED's were broken in, I didn't want to leave the house. Every CD in the collection became a revelation. I'm going to include a Curtis Counce's "Carl's Blues" CD in the listening session tonight in your honor. :-)wolf-garcia ...... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... justubes2 ...Yes, you've nailed it. The presentation is more forward with added detail. Audiophile effects as you described. The CD player is on "repeat" from this morning until tonight's listening session. Stay tuned.david ... I've yet to hear an... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, my audiophile guest kind of hit the nail on the head. He said that he heard the hardness in the highs and also described the sound in comparison with the RED fuses as "pinched." Also commented that the system had lost its effortless musical ... |
