| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I had previosly seen this thread but already knew of the SR Black fuse and bought four of them. I loved them but wondered if those on this thread thought the reds were better. Obviously I see now that this was not true.But I see now that there is ... | |

In turn an electromagnetic field induces a signal within it. In audio reproduction this induced signal is ... | |
| Review: VPI Magic Brick Tweak I haven't used VPI magic bricks in at least twenty years and sold all but one of the many I had. I did hear a difference with them placed carefully on components. But with time I noticed that the leading edge was gone if they were near the signal ... | |
