Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Okay ... I installed the two new BLACK fuses into the CD player yesterday afternoon. New, right out of the box:My first impressions were not good. While I heard a bit more transparency over the fully broken in RED fuses they replaced, I was faced ...

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
^^^ david ...I've read several reviews on the SR Teslapex. I'll try one after the system is sporting all BLACK fuses. I like to do one tweak at a time just to gauge the improvement for a few weeks at each stage. Weird, I know ... but that's me. Th... 
Infinity Irs Betas vs Legacy Focus Se
I'd go with the Legacy Focus' speakers. Very efficient, loves tube amps. Very musical and relaxed presentation. I've heard the Focus' a few times at three different friends homes ... sounds great in all three places. I use a pair of Legacy Signatu... 
What the *#$@ happened??
I tried one of those Mapleshade maple platform  with their brass footers under my Well Tempered Turntable and it really drained the life out of the system. I sold it to a friend to be put under his Clear Audio TT. It worked fine for him. He likes ...

Friday Night In San Francisco - best digital version
You're talking about the Miles Davis album, correct?Haven't heard the digital version, but I have the original. Its been in my collection for many years. I also have the Impex reissue. Both the original and the reissue are killer.

Two SR BLACK fuses are in the mail and will go into the CD player. They should be here tomorrow (Thursday), or Friday. Stay tuned ... 
Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
Okay ... "little known and sounds great:" Years ago I bought a Dyna 120 in perfect condition at a garage sale for four dollars. I sent it back to Minnesota to Frank Van Alstine so he could install his circuits. What I got back was a 60 wpc giant k... 
Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists
I was at Costco the other day. There was a man's watch in the jewelry section that was $14,999. It wasn't even a particularly good looking watch either.  That would buy you 3 pair of Magneplanar 3.7i's 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
David ...The fact that SR continues to improve their products is a reflection of the competitive nature of a capitalistic system wherein improvement is necessary or a competitor will create that improvement and out of business you go. Who benefits... 
Can a name make you or break you in the Audio World
I'll bet the guys who rep for the  Schiit company have a blast watching people try to pronounce the name at audio shows.  
Audio - Post Divorce
What a thread. Funny and tragic all at the same time. Divorce sucks! Being alone after 35 years of marriage sucks! The way divorce screws up the family dynamic sucks! The hole in your heart sucks! On the bright side, 17 years of being single makes... 
What do you miss about old school hip hop music and why?
Every time I think about hip hop or rap I put on a Sarah Vaughn album and the pain goes away.
