| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreemen posts: Among the pantheon of tweaks, I am highly skeptical of room treatments such as the stick-on chips, blocks, pebbles, discs, boxes and tiny bowls. The idea guys had to go SOMEWHERE with their products though, and since the under-co... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am delighted to hear all the favorable views about tweaks and my only point is to give them a try so long as you can get full refund, which I did with my red fuse. The dealer who sold it to me noted that he had "sold thousands of them few few ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, gents, this thread goes on and on, with a lot of chatter, and like the discussions with my girlfriend, they reach no conclusions. I have a Don Sach's tube preamp, a modest Emotiva 5.1 amp driving a pair of Linkwitz LX mini speakers, with an... | |
| CHINESE tubes? I recently got a pair of the Treasure C181's for my Don Sachs custom octal-tube based preamp and they are an improvement over all the 50's and 60's NOS 6SL7's I have been using. They are ultra detailed against a black background. I don't know ab... | |
| Tube integrated amp under $1000 I am a big fan of the new Jolida gear. I have an old Jolida tube DAC and it is as good as the new Schiit DAC to which I compared it. Jolida's work on high end gear has trickled down to their lower-end gear. Musical Paradise has a well-reviewed ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Gents,At the risk of being the denier of Oregonpapa’s experiential views on all things fuse and power cord-related, my experience has been quite different. The Red Fuse provided no sonic improvement in my system, none at least that could discern. ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi,The link you posted is informative, but you missed the fact that I am Irish, cursed that I am. Listening to music in a sober state of mind is not something we Irish do. Others must choose what is best for them. Cheers, Whitestix | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff,I am all Irish so I might just take you up on this idea, as I still have a collection of two dozen bottles. I am down with inexpensive tweaks! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am happy to weigh in on this lengthy thread. I swapped the Red for the fuse in my tube preamp and listened to it for a week. Then I swapped back the standard fuse, which turned out to be a Hifi Tuning fuse. Then I did an A/B comparison for a whi... | |
| ELAC Debut B6 speakers To the questions above, I am using a Music Fidelity M3i int. amp and Neotech cables with the speakers. The music was streamed from Spotify via a Mass Fidelity Relay BT device. Yesterday., I listened to a lot of Angus Stone and Cowboy Junkies. lots... | |
| Alternatives to Mass Fidelity Relay? Thanks for the information, very much appreciated. Mark | |
| Conrad-Johnson PV-14 vs Belles 21a with Auricaps I had earlier versions for your preamp and liked them for the reasons you like yours. The CJ tube preamps present a big "liquid wall of sound", so to speak. However, with my Belles 22a, I felt like I had a lot more speed and accuracy in my system,... | |
| Belles Stock 12AU7 tubes Hi there. I recently had a Belles 22a and rolled a bunch of tubes through it. At the top of the list of tubes I liked was the Radio Techniques sold by Upscale Audio. It is very extended both in the lower and high frequencies. Next was NOS Siemen's... | |
| Review: Green Mountain Audio EOS HD Monitor I had a pair of EOS HD speaker and thought they were among the best stand-mounted speakers I ever heard at their price point. The WAF is not very high, just to be clear. Ergonomically, they didn't work in my new listening room as I need speakers t... | |
| Von Schweikert VR 22 I have had a lot of a speakers in and out of my system in the last several years, but opted for the VR-22's after the Newport Beach show in June. Unimpressive out the box, like many new speakers, they have over time broken in nicely and are absolu... |
