| Paying taxes/duty on used goods purchased in Canada Tariffs suck. Politicians bluster about punishing foreign countries (like China) by charging tariffs for goods crossing our border that are inexpensive for U.S. consumers to buy. Yes, it reduces the demand for the foreign products in question, but... | |
| VPI Cartridge People: What next? Since I started using the AT-ART-9, I've stopped shopping for cartridges. For under 1100 bucks, its an audiophile bargain. See the thread in this forum that talks about the ART-9 at length. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles ...Yes, I reread the guilty post and realized my mistake. So sorry. Do you think it may have had anything to do with the WA chip I pasted to my forehead? :>)The Oyaide is an excellent choice, Charles. I was using another "hospital" grad... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ That's what they used to say about cables, speaker spikes and removable power cords. I assume, Charles, that you've tried all the sizes of WA chips in your own system before making your judgement though, right? Don't get me wrong here, Charles... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ David ...I had to remove the three RED fuses in order to install the WA chips. After replacing, everything needed to settle in again. After the system was on for a few hours, it just came to life. You comment about a "sense of subtraction" was... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Yes, the WA Quantum Chips. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Between the SR RED fuses and the fuse chips, my system has been brought to a level that I wouldn't have believe attainable only a few weeks ago. This is with only three new fuses and three fu... | |
| Did you ever think digital and analog would exist side by side the way it is now We vinyl junkies had a field day at garage sales and thrift stores when the "Perfect Sound Forever" came out. People were dumping their record collections as if they were the plague. The Mercurys, the RCA's, the Westminster's! Everything from mint... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Yep, the SR fuse chips arrived in this afternoon's mail. I did an a/b comparison with one piece of gear at a time, starting with the preamp fuse. Here's the overall consensus: I used Diana Krall's "Live in Paris" CD first. I know this CD very ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... macdude ...What differences do you hear between the beeswax fuses and the Red fuses? My fuse dots will probably come in Monday's mail. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm using the Oyaide wall sockets. Very nice. Now back to the fuses. :>)Come to think of it, I should have three of the SR fuse dots coming in the mail today. I'll report the results as soon as I hear it. Other reviews say they should make ano... | |
| For 35 years, I'm an Audiophile wanna be The intelligent responses here have recommended that you keep the preamp. I wholeheartedly agree. The SP3 is a very musical preamp. I heard one not too long ago in a friend of a friend's system. He was using Legacy Focus speakers, Music Fidelity t... | |
| Shakti Hallograph Sound Field Optimizer I have two pair of the Shakti Hallograghs in my room. The first pair went in the corners behind the speaker. This provided a DRAMATIC improvement in all parameters .. all the areas we like. When taken out of the system, the soundstage collapses an... | |
