| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Audio grade fuse holders are already in your gear. Remember, it's the fuse holder. | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos I had issues with some sloppily made Psvanes (albeit 12AX7s, not 88s) so I won't be trying those again, but having rolled Tung Sol 6550s, KT120s, Sovtek 88s, and KT150s through my amp I wound up becoming curious about the (new version, not NOS) Ru... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... If the vibrating fuse and holder alleged "issue" is keeping anyone up at night, just squirt some silicone caulk on it and call it a day. In fact, fill all your gear with silicone caulk…messy, but hey…you can't be too careful when it comes to devel... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... I wrote "Flight Attendants," not stewardesses…in audio you need specificity in the domain of worthwhile tweaks. | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? Yeah…and get some sleep first. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Your car drives better after you wash it…everybody knows that. Your hifi rig sounds better after you stick expensive fuses in it, or it should sound a LOT better based on the opinions of Real Audiophiles because if it doesn't, you're gonna feel li... | |
| Affordable Turntable Options The U-Turn tables, made in MA by the way, work beautifully. I know a few people who bought them and think they sound great, and the fixed bias actually works fine. They're simply too inexpensive to be taken seriously by some, but that's a typical ... | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? Jolida is another brand that I can vouch for as well designed, great sounding, and generally around half the cost of Primaluna gear (Possibly due to the fact that Jolida barely markets itself at all, and Primaluna advertises aggressively), so ther... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... "I suspect that having thousands of happy customers, you know, real audiophiles, is more of a heavenly thing."I can only assume that geoffkait is implying that snake oil is fine for thousands of happy "real audiophile" customers, and that is somet... | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... A vested financial interest in sheep and flight attendants? I suppose there's a possibility... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This may be off topic, but I was just thinking about how hard it must be for the people who manufacture and sell actual snake oil. | |
| For a quick good time, blankets... A small flock of sheep also works well, and I found out once (long story) that an unconscious group of fur covered flight attendants absorbs reflections…a large puddle of old soup with a thick mold, burning tires (not indoors please), a sink hole ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... My nice clean ears are working fine, I rarely mix "Rock" shows these days doing mostly jazz, classical, and singer/songwriter stuff, and I doubt oregonpapa has attended those shows so he clearly has no clue what they sound like yet claims he does.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa, you do seem delusional as I'm absolutely certain that fuses, when working properly, can't and don't provide any sonic improvement, and in the case of SRs poorly designed fuses they can and have provided the act of surprisingly melting,... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I reported on a thorough test I did of SR fuses a while back, in which I concluded that they did nothing to enhance the sound of my well sorted system, and in fact a couple of them blew as they don't seem to be rated properly. My conclusion was si... |
