| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’ll take salt on my chips at the moment pappa, hold the malt vinegar! :)So far, the SR Blacks are coming into their own and sounding quite amazing. What a value. | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX There are many high-end manufacturers/dealers that will not ship UPS, nor except UPS shipments. I have experienced far too many horror stories first hand, of damaged gear. They will NEVER see my business. (period) FedEx has (knock on wood) never d... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Skeptics need to use their ears and quit thinking so much...Turn on, tune in, and drop out, I say!Something interesting that Caelin Gabriel of Shunyata Research commented on about audio that seems to sum it all up for me... (Read the last three pa... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The SR black fuses (2) in my preamp and phonostage are burning-in nicely, starting to relax with each listen, just as you have been saying oregonpapa. My system has ceramic drivers in the Coincident PREt’s and can present a bit edgy or harsh if ev... | |
| If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers. Vox Olympian would be my no limits speaker, and of course a room suitably large enough to properly support them and a hand full of good listening friends.If money was also a concern the Audio Note AN-E/SPe HE are still not "cheap" but relatively s... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This is 3/4" of wire, in the mains supply! And I can't believe the increased depth of soundstage these SR black fuses are throwing. I just listened through to Massive Attack's third album Mezzanine and what immediately sticks me is just how well m... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Lowrider57, glad you have your warmth back without resonance, fortunately soft wood panels are not expensive either. if you want a finished maple wood platform, as you may well know, Amazon and IKEA also have a nice assortment of cost effective op... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components ... And just how much is a Vibraplane that will hold one piece of audio gear??? This is why it may be "ultimate" but people have to skin-the-cat for far less. And I would bet you we are getting most of what the Vp isolates (80-90%) for a fraction ... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Lowrider57, when you tried the Isonodes on the pine shelf and got the warmer and lusher presentation, what did they come in contact with? The component feet or the chassis? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... OMG! The SR black fuses (2) just went in the kit cold from the post box, about 30 minutes warm up, and I que up the first record, Susanne Vega Close-up vol.1. Between the fingering of the guitar, the bass line, and her breathy voice all are more v... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Lowrider57, I would caution that the sound is new to you, give it a while. That’s not to say ultimately that it may not need adjusting to suit your tastes. I’ve found when smearing and distortions or confusion are first removed, there is a sense t... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components mesch, May I interject, are your metal boxed components sitting on their manufacturers (rubber) supplied feet, on the maple shelves? Or have you tried coupling them by putting wood blocks, points (points down), or what-have-you, from the chassis t... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello Sorry tooblue, yet just like music lyrics, starting a thread is like putting a record on your TT, you get what you get. Hope I/we haven’t taken it too far off track. Declan is one of my all time favorite songwriters and musicians and enjoying his ... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello bondmanp, Good to understand a little better what you meant by your comment. I too look to start no flame-out about anyone for their thoughts, freely expressed here. We are actually more in agreement as it were about such things, then apart. I do ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thank you Charles, look forward to traveling the path that you guys have been point on for some time now. I’ll be happy to offer some impressions as soon as they arrive.I will buckle in for the long drive oregonpappa, thanks for an eta. As with al... |
