Your Best Tweak Lately
My latest, and perhaps best tweak, is a continuation of fuse upgrades, first using HiFi Tuning, two types, then Furutech, and finally, Synergistic Research Reds. Now, you may not believe in fuses, and that's ok---not here to convert anyone, just to report that these SR Reds are so far ahead of the others listed--to my ears, at least. If you have Maggies that you want to easily improve, put these in. I also have them as the mains fuses in ARC 210s and 861GNSC. If you have confidence in your power supply as stable and plentiful--another tweak in itself--no worries about the safety of these fuses--I even push the ratings a bit to match my big-gauge power cord capabilities. In the Maggies, I push them to 8A and 16A (stock is 2.5A and 5A) for a more "straight wire" effect by way of the bigger elements--incredible upgrade without molesting the speakers. With potentials in power supply, cords, cables, isolation schemes, room tricks, etc, this is a tweaker's paradise--I'm stealing the term back--just for audio.

One smaller Walker Audio resonance control disc put near motor of Nottingham Spacedeck turntable that sits on maple block. Increased clarity. The same disc was also put on top of the Nakamichi 682ZX tape deck - the same but less. I am going to get two more and put one on another side of where motor is and see if there is further improvement with two discs. Will keep the one on the deck. Essence of Music, is it a cd treatment? What was the difference before and after treatment? I don't have many cds, treated them with Optrix. |
11-04-15: GeoffkaitGeoff, I wonder how that compares with UltraBit Platinum-Plus? The guy who makes UltraBit PP used to make 'Finyl' way back in the day which worked a treat. |
