Synergistic Red Fuse ...
These fuses are quite a bit more expensive. If you have not tried them then you don’t have an opinion. Logically this must be 1000’s of times better than the very small but quite effective SR fuses.https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/scientist-holding... 
Most Important, Unloved Cable...
Isn’t this thread a thinly disguised and deliberate attempt at trolling? It starts off with an appeal to authority and then goes on to aggressively attack those who do not hear any differences; "cognitive dissonance" and "hearing for crap" and "sh...

Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
Not heard these yet. The woofer construction appears to be world class JL audio style for ultra low distortion at high SPL. This is serious engineering! Many loudspeakers and buyers seem to  underestimate how badly outsourced lower quality woofers... 
Wilson Audio Haters
@veroman  LOL. I didn't comment when Doug brought up religion and Darwin and then he immediately proceeded to denigrate me for responding on the very topic of digression he raised. I think he had a bad day. I have those too. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
@oregonpapa   I don't buy the purity argument. We are talking about modern electrical power to a modern power supply and not medieval alchemy. I do buy many many of the tweaks you mention. Not so much power cords but I do believe power conditioner... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
@knghifi.  Everything sounds the same? Huh?Not sure if you are kidding or have no experience. Of course equipment makes a difference.Clearly faulty or badly designed equipment is causing several audiophiles grief here. They are finding large audib... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Frank,Are you actually saying that the highest resolution systems magnify everything including power supply variations and everything else unrelated to the source?Have you not considered that a system that magnifies the impacts of a fuse is likely... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
No I am not kidding. I do not want equipment that magnifies minute variations in the power supplied to the amplifier power supply which is supposed to filter and protect amplifier circuits from power variations. Why would I want to hear difference... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
If a mere fuse makes a huge difference in sound then that should tell you the condition of your equipment is piss poor. The power supply is supposed to be designed to entirely isolate the interference of slight differences in power input from the ... 
iPhone and Philips SHP9500 headphones
Buying cheap headphones and then spending extra money on a headphone amp for a $500+ iPhone just seems like a dogs breakfast to me. If you want better sound then why not start with headphones. I admit that people do this with speakers too - often ... 
iPhone and Philips SHP9500 headphones
Not familiar with these but if you want the very best then Shure SE846 are absolutely incredible and insanely expensive but justified price given the uniquely better performance over all other IEM. For cheaper light weight over ears with great ext... 
Clyde Stubblefield RIP
@slaw Sorry again for offending you. My enthusiasm for Clyde and the music he helped create got the better of me.  
Clyde Stubblefield RIP
@slaw No disrespect to you or Clyde. Any reference to a great drummer (such as Clyde) immediately leads the musically inclined to a discussion of technique (such as "in the pocket") and comparisons (not criticisms but deep respect for what every d...
