| A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport A question for those of you who have the RS2; have you found not being able to program tracks to be an issue at all? I am very much intrigued by the reports of its sound quality, I am just not sure that I could do without the ability to program tr... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Just finished listening to Prokofiev’s 3rd Piano Concerto with Martha Argerich, Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic. A great performance of great music! With fully broken in SR purple fuses in my CD transport, DAC and amp, it was defini... | |
| Sophia Electric Magik Box Funny, I came across the Magik Box and realized I could do something similar with what I already have. My DIY Hifi Supply Django Mini passive Transformer Volume Control preamp has a switch on the back for 6dB gain, which I hadn’t tried. I flipped ... | |
| Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables Some, when they find something really worthwhile, actually want to share the good news with other enthusiasts, rather than spewing accusations whenever someone says anything positive about anything. | |

| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? Some will demand an explanation of how something works before they are willing to try it, but, if it works (produces the desired results), no explanation is required for it to do so. | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? It’s fine if someone chooses not to listen to something, because they “know” it can’t possibly make a difference in the sound, or for any other reason. In doing so, though, they give up the ability to make any credible observations about whether o... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I posted recently saying I was awaiting two more purple fuses, and then went on to describe what I was hearing with the one that I had. I got a notification it had been deleted by a moderator. Content may be removed for one or more of these re... | |
| Synergistic Research XOT Carbon Crossover Transducers I wonder if SR has any plans to update these? If they incorporated some of the new treatment/materials used on the purple fuses and other products, that would be cool. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I was pointing to RCA connectors as another example of a ubiquitous, but not ideal, solution. There are better connectors out there, but why would a manufacturer adopt them when nobody else has? Not necessarily saying they are detrimental to the s... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Here’s the thing about fuses, I don’t like them in general. They’re designed to break, on purpose, to protect us and our property from catastrophic events. Like RCA connectors, they are not an ideal solution. Fuses, in their standard form, are det... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? “Going out on a limb here and guessing Jeff understands the concept poorly and the math even less.” “CEO/Designer Jeffrey Smith is a Wyoming native and a graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in General E... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses “....but no one mention putting one in their power conditioner. I have a Transparent PI8 that all of my other components (except power amps) plug into first. Logically, wouldn’t this be the place to start since it where ALL AC enters my system.” ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I’m curious why a CD player would have 6 fuses, that's pretty odd? I’d try the main power one first, the one that’s in, or very near, the power cord inlet. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses The SR purple in my CD transport now has close to 100 hours on it. As you know, I am thoroughly convinced that fuses can and do make a difference in the sound. Even so, I am still rather blown away by what changing one small fuse has done, and tha... |
