It is not you, the sound really is getting worse
@erik_squires Hi EI have used several iterations of that design in my system with little success. The last time I tried using two speakers in a kind of horizontal array with two AR4c.  It was better but still not totally free of distortion. From t... 
What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?
@cal91Don’t get too upset about this thing. You tried it an formed an opinion based on what you experienced. Cakyol has to do the same, then he will know. In this field, there are a lot of things that don’t make sense but work. Just make sure you ... 
It is not you, the sound really is getting worse
@erik_squires Hi EMy experiences with this design have been negative. Dr Toole seems to agree. I am glad it has worked for you. I will try to attach a quote from him below from his excellent book, Sound Reproduction. If you have the book, he talks...

@cakyolWow!  Sometimes I envy you guys. Life must be very easy for you. All good amplifiers sound the same as long as they have similar specs, right?  There are seven colors and no more. Pace, rhythm, soundstage, musicality, timing are all pigment...

@cakyolDo you believe that power cords make a difference?  If your answer is yes then apply the same logic about the manufacturers and see how unconvincing you sound. If your answer is no, then...By the way, science progresses only when people are...

Dialogues in movies soundtracks on discs have issues. It’s a well known fact. Most people setting up their home theater systems raise the center channel by 4 to 6 dB. Even regular channels like CNN etc have to be raised accordingly. Added to the p...

@georgehifiYou really should talk to @atmasphere I know what he said. As for me, I am sorry, I cannot dismiss what I heard and am still hearing for what you believe based on theories. I choose reality. I wish I was like you, convinced beyond doubt... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
@douglas_schroeder No one is attacking you. Matter of fact, I had a lot of respect for you. That’s why I said that I didn’t expect that from you. You should have known better. What makes your comments incorrect is the generalization. Not all 40k s... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
@douglas_schroeder “If you're running a $5-10K rig, then do not expect such music to sound great.”How much do we have to spend to expect such music to sound great?  Wow!! I didn’t see that one coming from you. You should know better.

According to Atmasphere, the fuse makes a measurable difference. But Georgehifi thinks that this is not possible. I would love to see you two guys directly talk to each other. That would be interesting. Please gentlemen, you have the floor.

@adam8179While I don’t have the answer to any of your questions, I can tell you that in my Nuprime amplifier, the Synergistic Orange fuse was nothing short of unbelievable. This is the best tweak I have ever tried and I have absolutely no regret. ... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
@Motownhang in there, we all will be joining you soon. 😀 
Evolving from a avr to an av processor. Benefit?
The best AVP known to man at this time is from a French company named Trinnov. The Altitude 19 or Altitude 32 has no competition. Starts at 9k. Take your pick.  
High Performance Audio - The End?
Could it be possible that the future of high end audio be totally different in a decade or so? Maybe some day soon, nobody will be spinning discs anymore . All of your music will be either in the cloud or on some hard drive. Your cell phone will h...
