| Synergistic Red Fuse ... There's a line where what you're listening to stops being a recording, and becomes a musical event. That line is not always clearly marked or defined, but you know when you've crossed it. For me, that's what this hobby is all about; turning record... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... With a 50/50 chance, I got it the direction right the first time once out of 3. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Got the black fuse for my transport yesterday morning. I installed it, and have had quite a parade of guests through my living room:Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Astrud GilbertoSir Adrian Boult and the London PhilharmonicJohn Coltrane and friendsJohn... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Especially after installing a black fuse in my transport this morning ;) | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Listening to Beethoven’s 7th Symphony with Carlos Kleiber conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Don’t know if there is any higher order harmonic distortion going on, but it sounds, and feels, like I’m in the hall.Peaked at 87 on my dB meter. | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers I’ve only heard SETs with horns at an audio show. I recall an Art Audio amp with PX25s driving Avantgarde speakers (Duos?) that sounded REALLY good. I don’t doubt that 45s et al can sound even better with horns. What I am saying is that those who ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just ordered a black for my new CEC TL5 CD Transport. The CEC is finally broken in, and I'm loving it. It betters my previous transport (Audiolab CDM 8000) in pretty much every aspect. Looking forward to swapping out the stock fuse.My system only ... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers I have no problem with someone who tries a low power SET amp with well matched dynamic speakers, and concludes it doesn't work for them. What bothers me is that all the talk about these amps REQUIRING 100 db + efficient speakers dissuades people f... | |
| Do you use an autoformer/transformer preamp/volume control? rzado,Silver Rock, very nice! Did you get it with the absolute phase (polarity) switch? | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Just just to make things clear, I'm not saying one can pair 45s (or other low power SETs) with ANY quality dynamic speakers, and expect good results. However, higher efficiency dynamics, that are known to present a benign load (like the Audio Note... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers When I checked my levels in the past, I didn't get much above 90 db on peaks. That was setting it as loud as I would ever want to listen. Most of the time, it was lower than that. 100 db peaks must be painful, not to mention the potential for hear... | |
| LampizatOr Silk AC Filter? The Silk is designed to filter out RF noise, without "sucking the life out of the system". That's what intrigues me, assuming it works as advertised. | |

| what does a power conditioner really do? "Ive used a lot of different products in this category over the years, Tara Labs Power Screens were the best but they're NLA and hard to find used."Good to know, I have one of those.Anyone tried the LampizatOr Silk AC Filter?:http://www.lampizator... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... mitch2,Those are good words, but will most likely go unheeded by those who are driven by a need to stir the pot. |
