Synergistic Red Fuse ...
David,   There you go again pampering your mother. I am amazed that a woman her age can hear the subtle nuances and details whenever you add another tweak to her system. I can't think of a better way to spend the 4th of July. I'm glad you got to s...

I found a thread here on Audiogon that provides a youtube link for a DIY fuse break-in device. Maybe it will help someone who has tube equipment to save some tube life.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud2n7Mut13s&feature=youtu.be      
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Oregonpapa,      You are going to love the Von Gaylord interconnects. I have a mix of Chinchilla and 7000s throughout my system, even in my bedroom system and they are the best I've ever had and I've tried a slew of them from many manufacturers. P... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I just made an observation that you don't necessarily have to have current top-of-the-line electronics to hear the audible difference(improvement) with the SR Black fuse. In my bedroom system, I have a 1960 Pilot 402 tube receiver and taking out t... 
Acoustic Zen
Can you post a pic? I don't think AZ has an Ultimate interconnect model. Their top-of-the-line is called the Absolute. Look at the photos on the AZ website to compare with yours.

Wow, David! I'm impressed. I'll bet there aren't many audiophiles who can claim that their mother is also an audiophile.

What a good son! Please keep us posted on the improvements. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Very nice thing you did for your mother, David. I used to do that for my Dad for his stereo/TV system until he got too old to appreciate the sonic improvements. Are all five outlets in the circuit upgraded? If not, and there are still contractor-g... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Thanks for the confirmation, Strateahed. I had suspected he had passed. I read up on Victor and he had quite a career. He was a prominent English professor at Cal State until he retired after 39 years. He befriended Joseph and while in retirement ...

Joncourage,        I would be interested in your comparison if you get a HIfi-tuning Supreme fuse. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I was going to start a new thread but I thought I'd stay with this established one. I recently emailed Victor Comerchero to ask him a question and there was no response. Victor is usually prompt in responding so I was a little concerned after a we...

David,    My preamp is a tweaked-up AH TP 2.0 and amps are older VAC Auricle Musicblocs with Penta KT88SC  for power and Psvane 12au7 drivers. I have several speakers: AZ Adagio, Reference 3a MMC and Dulcet monitors. Cables are a mix of high end c... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I recently started following this thread and decided to try a SR Black fuse in my preamp. It previously had an older Hifi-tuning Gold fuse in it. I was initially impressed with the difference the Black made, but once it opened up after about 75 ho... 
Audiocap Theta Audyn True Copper Mundorf Supreme
I have to agree with the great sound of the new Audyn True Copper Max. I have been experimenting with many caps in my preamp outputs for many years now. I tried Hovland Musicap, Claritycap MR, Duelund VSF, Ampohm oil, and Stealthcap. All had their... 
Best KT88s (specifically for VAC Auricle Musiblocs)
Andrew,   I have never listened to a VAC preamp, however, my Audio Horizons preamp has plenty of gain to drive my 90 db speakers. I was buying from www.dougstubes.com my Penta SC tubes( specially selected tubes from Shuguang) which have the solid ...
