Bass traps - too many choices!!
Just scanned the gikacoustics site and was very impressed with what they offer. Prices seem reasonable as is shipping cost. Yes I guess the cylinder/sand approach is flawed. Not interested in using chicken wire/insulation. WAF is non-existent.  Th... 
Bass traps - too many choices!!
I've already eliminated slap echo using panels at reflection points on my walls. What I want/need is a bass trap. Just not sure what the "right" product is. I may call ASC next week and get their thoughts. Their products are pricey. That's why I m... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Never saw a response to my question; so let me try again.  My monos, Dale Pitcher's Essence Jasper IIs, have both a power fuse and a speaker fuse. Do I need to replace both or just the power fuse?  
Hunting for 1st pressings
Thanks for the responses. Apparently there's no simply way to identify a 1st pressing. Therefore, I won't pursue them.  
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Back to a basic question - regarding my monos, if I can only afford to replace either the speaker fuse or the power fuse, which is the one to replace? 
HFTs or more fuses
gbmcleod, I digress from the topic, but what footers do you have under your tt? I have a VPI Classic 3 and will experiment tomorrow with Edensound triceratops that I used years ago with great success under a Sota tt. 
HFTs or more fuses
My experience. Putting SR Reds in my Bryston BDA-1 and Musical Design Elite Ultra tubed pre resulted in a noticeable but very small improvement in SQ.  Not the "aha" result i was hoping for. It was something akin to a cable or IC upgrade. While I ... 
The Beach Boys
FWIW, the group Papa Doo Run Run recorded the California Project which is a very "polished" collection of BB songs and IMHO is very well done.   
Best DAC
I second the vote on a Bryston DAC. My BDA-1 outclassed my Arcam FMJ23 player. And the  support from Bryston is outstanding!  
HFTs or more fuses
Thanks, Davidi will search sources for best price. However, I have since read that HiFi Supreme fuses, which are much cheaper than the Blacks, were very effective in amps.  
HFTs or more fuses
Purchased my Reds from Parts Connexion and there is no 30 day return. My room is funky basement room with only drywall on left wall. Front and right are poured masonry. I've treated the room with a Room Tune pack and a number of 2'x4' acoustic pan... 
HFTs or more fuses
I just spent a chunk of change on new speaker cables. So, I only have $300 to play with. Are you telling me that one box of five does little to improve SQ?  
Bryston BDP media server a good choice today?
Just a quick update. I now have Manic Moose on my BDP-1 and couldn't be happier. I too noticed an improvement in SQ. Could not have done it without Chris' help.  Amazingly patient individual. Wish I hadn't waited so long to do this update!

i never turn down the opportunity to improve SQ. I will contact Chris tomorrow and seek a preloaded flashcard. Thanks much! 
Bryston BDP media server a good choice today?
dhl- fwiw a well known and respected designer of audiophile electronics and a modder as well chuckles at folks who buy audiophile footers and power cords.as for manic moose, I give up. Way over my head.
