The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
Hi Ted, thanks for your message. I thought the point of the fuse directionality was that the current should flow in the fuse in a certain way. I am using a Farad Super 3 LPSU which is proposing your fuses as upgrades, and on the circuit board, t... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
My method to find out which direction the fuse should go is to use a mains tester on the fuse holder without the fuse in place. (when possible) I place the fuse arrow from the hot to the neutral. Anyone has further comparisons between QSA Yellow... 
Daniël Hertz M6L preamp.
I actually sent an email to Daniel Hertz enquiring about one of their speakers and Mark called me back directly to discuss.He spent over an hour presenting the brand and philosophy and was very pleasant. Also proposed to visit him in Venice (Italy...

Vimberg Speakers
Thanks for the input. I actually should.He has the bigger ones, the Tonda and he uses a Boulder 2060.I want to rebuild a system from scratch, similar to his model.Streaming DAC Preamp - Power Amp - Speakers. 
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
It depends what you want...I worked with vicoustic and submitted a project to them, they came back with 3d renderings and room modes analysis and treatment suggestions.I believe other companies offer similar services.I used diffusers and absobers,...
