| High Fidelity MC-6 Power Distributor vs. Synergistic Research V8 Powerblock? Thanks lak, good idea. I got my SR fuses and a few other things from there. Excellent service. When I’m ready to buy either one, I’ll get it from him. I’ve always got a list going of stuff to do with my system. So many things to try, and me withou... | |
| High Fidelity MC-6 Power Distributor vs. Synergistic Research V8 Powerblock? That's essentially what I have now; CPT Equi=Core 300 at the wall plugged into a Tara AD/6 Powerscreen strip. I'm thinking about something to replace the Tara. I also have a High Fidelity MC-0.5 plugged into the same duplex as the CPT, and like wh... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Must be a full moon 🙄 | |
| On/Off Switch My previous post was totally tongue-in-cheek. Having some fun with the kind of responses that those of us who do hear differences with these kind of things often get. | |
| On/Off Switch I've never tried a higher quality on/off switch, but I just know it can't possibly make a difference in the sound. Just like fuses. Trust me, I read a book about how electricity works, and understood some of it 😉 | |
| CEC TL5 Belt Drive CD Transport I’ve got a TL-5, and love it. I don’t think you’re going to do better, sound and build quality wise, for the money (around $2000 for the factory 120v US version). If you’re in the the US, you want the factory 120v version, not the gray market 100v... | |
| Please Recommend Transport + DAC for $5K total For a CD transport, I would highly recommend the belt drive CEC TL-5 that I have (around $2000). The Audio Note CDT Zero is another option to consider. A good transport, with a high grade mechanism, will definitely be an improvement over using a C... | |
| What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k? Audio Note (UK) Vindicator Silver Signature (2A3 SET).You’ll be amazed at what 3.5 watts can do, with some good SET friendly speakers (90+ dB efficiency), like the AN Es. | |
| What exactly is colored sound? Since there are so many variables that affect the sound of recordings (mics, placement, venue, mixing, processing etc.), every recording should sound different. A good system should be chameleon-like, and make these differences clearly audible. If... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... There are those who know how to respectfully and courteously disagree, and have made positive contributions to this thread (almarg is one example). Then there are those who just enjoy stirring up controversy and demeaning those they disagree with.... | |
| Graphene in fuses and cost A reasonable educated guess would be that it costs SR $37.50 to make a blue fuse. They then sell that fuse to a retailer for $75. Gross profit would be $37.50. Before they start making any net profit, they need to sell enough to recover whatever a... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... oregonpapa,I've got a blue fuse on order for my amp. It will replace the current black one. I am already very pleased with the black. Assuming the blue is as much of an improvement as you've reported, I will be one happy camper 😁 | |
| Lov'n the MC-0.5's but - a magnetic question tgun5,Found this, which may help answer your questions, particularly the last paragraph:Magnetic Conduction is a patented method for signal transfer (U.S. Pat. No. 8,272,876). The technology was developed by Magnetic Innovations LLC. As implemente... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I think it's just a semantic thing. Do you say "I am there." or "They are here (along with the space they are performing in)."? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just wanted to let folks here know about the latest addition to my system. It is a Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 300 balanced power cord between the wall and the Tara power strip my system is plugged into. I know some of you have, or have hear... |
