Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer
^^^ Geoffkait ...That's  funny. But you have to admit, as long as those Quads were running they had a glorious midrange ... until they arced. I've heard them many times ... but glad I never bought a pair. Merry Christmas ... 
Turntable Wars- Reviewers take sides
For my money, Bill Firebaugh's Rube Goldberg contraption has been playing very well and making beautiful music in my system for around 30 years now. I feel no need whatsoever to upgrade to a more expensive table. jwm ...Can I get on the time machi... 
Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere
highend_cc ...Just a kind word to say thank you for your excellent service and rocket-ship delivery. Merry Christmas from a very satisfied customer.  
Would you buy from a firm that has a policy about not accepting phone calls
I we were to gauge friendships based upon returned phone calls, my grandkids would be my worst enemies. They return text messages in a flash, but phone messages? ... not so much.Taters ... Time to enter into the new world, lad.  It's all digital n...

Geoffkait ...But ... but ... but ... Coleman Hawkins or Ben Webster blowing tenor sax  through a pair of the original Quads??? Dang! 
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
Merry Christmas to all of my fellow tube-a-holics, vinyl junkies ... and you digi-guys as well. Take a little time out to reflect upon what we are celebrating this holiday season. Happy listening ... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
I've heard multi-hundred thousand dollar systems that just leave me bored. On the other hand ... have you ever heard a pair of properly set up Harbeth speakers??

^^^ Ah, but that wasn't always the case with ARC and power cords, bdp24. In fact, they were late to the game with the removable power cords. For example, my Classic 60 and SP-14 had hard wired cords. ARC, through the years, has been a very conserv...

Taters ...I haven't a clue. Haven't heard them. marqmike ...I should have the fuse chips tomorrow ... or perhaps Saturday.Merry Christmas to all who post here on Audiogon.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
^^^ Don't know what you mean by "spares" marqmike. Don't laugh ... I just ordered 3 WA Quantum Chips to put on the three fuses I'm using now. If they do as advertised, I will no longer leave home.Will the supermarkets deliver to audiophiles?  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
On the expense of the fuses ... Early on, before I bought the ARC REF-75/SE, I owned the "regular" REF-75. I changed out the KT-120's for the KT-150's and the improvement is well documented here on the forums by myself and others who did the swap.... 
Apartment Drama
I, like Liz, live in a Senior development. Been here for 21 years this year. I've had a music system ever since I moved in. Sometimes I play at pretty high volumes.  I communicate with my neighbors from time to time to ask them if my music ever bo... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles ...I'm up to three components where I've replaced the stock fuses for the SR Red fuses. Friends who have heard the system, and know it well, continue calling to tell me that they cannot believe how realistic the sound is now. Two more fuse... 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Tobaritch!  This is a Russian vodka that I found at "Total Wines."  It's not real expensive. Has a nice flavor and kick. I like it on the rocks with a slice of lime. The manager at Total Wines tuned me on to it. Her favorite. Its won all kinds of ...
