Like the new look to audiogon ?
Since I was one of the intense critics of the new format, I must now give Audiogon credit for restoring list view as an option and apparently making it sticky.I'm not sure why or how ANYONE at Audiogon thought the change to portholes and limited s...

Audiogon: You have totally destroyed the functionality of this site which, until today was a daily destination for me.  
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
The direction of the  fuse can be determined by the direction of the writing on the fuse. I got great results upgrading the Black fuse to the Blue in my Nordost QB-8 power distribution block. I agree that the Blues sound better out f the box than ... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I'm really interested in trying this product, although I'm not looking forward to tearing an already really great sounding system apart to do it. I find the positive claims to be credible, as I do the few neutral responses from those who have actu... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Hi Frank: At the risk of sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, in the near term you might want to consider bypassing the wall switch by using wire nuts to make a direct connection in the circuit (at least until SR comes out with a Black switch... 
Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone?
I have been enjoying the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ for about a month now, and it ultimately came to replace my much-loved Bel Canto DAC 3.7.  For some time now, I have been streaming MQA files from Tidal via a Bluesound Node 2 which can perform the firs...

They are Kind of Blue.... 
iFi AC iPurifier
I have one plugged into each of my dedicated lines at the wall. I noticed a significant increase in detail, space and bass extension/definition in a system that has fairly heroic ac conditioning, including a brace of QV2s and a QK1. They work for ... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
This is my first day (and night) listening to my system and speakers via the Isoacoustics Gaia IIIs. My speakers are extremely modest compared to the rest of my system since  I've always been a "great speakers can't fix what's messed up in a previ... 
Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC
I bought a Node 2 primarily for streaming Tidal Masters. The internal DAC doing full MQA decode is very smooth and non-fatiguing, though less incisive than playing the first "unfolding" through my Bel Canto 3.7 via S/PDIF. As others have mentioned... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
The SR Black fuses and the Black outlets make my system sound way better. If offered a full refund in exchange for surrendering these items after lo these many months, I would respectfully decline. Ain't nobody's business but my own.... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Something I find interesting about this thread is that I can't recall a single poster being an all-Synergistic, all-the-time fan boy. A few notables here use Synergistic power cords (and I have one in my system for my REL sub), but it seems that m... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I completely concur with backgroundblur's assessment of the Black fuses. So well said.As I peck this out, I'm enjoying Bruce Cockburn's Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws AIFF CD rip. Enveloping. Stunning bass... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
In my experience, the Black fuses are not so much inherently directional as they are initially directional. In this regard, I'm interested in anyone's opinion on the matter, but only those with actual in-depth listening experience. Despite the cav... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
My fuse saga began several years ago when I tried and liked the Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuses in my Primaluna mono blocks. Later, I bought my first Synergistic Black fuse out of curiosity and after having had favorable experience with other of their ...
