| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mikirob,As much as I loved the HK C-I that Don fully modded for me, Don Sach's new preamp is much much better and much more simple in design. The heart of the preamp is the octal tubes. It is an unfathomably fine preamp, better than anything I h... | |
| 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... |
