| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've been CD-only since I sold all my LPs and my beloved Simon Yorke S-9 Record Player (serial no. 005) back in 2007. A few years ago I started burning my CDs to an externally powered hard drive in AIFF format using iTunes on a Mac Book Pro so I d... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... UPDATE: A few days ago, I replaced the two Shunyata Research SR-Z1 outlets on the dedicated lines feeding my system with the Synergistic Research Black UEF duplex AC receptacles. Bottom line, I spent $500 and, in the process, got new speakers i... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Twenty-four hours in, and all I can say right now is, "Wow!" | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I just installed the SR Black outlets. The first thing I realized as I dug in to the project was that I was replacing not PS Audio Power Ports as I thought, but rather two Shunyata Research SR-Z1s, very robust Hubbell-based outlets which are cryo-... | |
| Alternative application of SR HFT Interesting. I have other fish to fry right now, but I have had truly excellent results with the HFTs in my room and on my speakers among a number of other SR products. I will keep it in mind, as I have contemplated introducing damping to my EL-34... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I received my two SR Black outlets today and I have to say that they are not outwardly impressive in any way. Black plastic, a steel back-strap stamped "spec grade" and the code-required tamper-resistant nylon "shutters" over the hot and neutral s... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... To complement my system's phalanx of SR Black fuses, I just ordered a second Black outlet for my second dedicated line. It was gonna be kind of a pain to replace even one of them as the two lines share a double outlet box back in a corner, so I fi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... In the meantime, here on planet earth, I'm really enjoying the Bill Evans chestnut, Waltz for Debbie. Just now, My Romance (Take 1) is dancing in front of me. It's been a while since I last played this good'un.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yeah, the SR Black outlet experiment should be interesting. I won't receive it or have a chance to mess with it for a week or two, but I am curious. In the meantime, I gonna try a really crazy--even for me--tweak, and that is to use a 12x8x2 Himal... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm just about to close a deal on a Synergistic Black outlet for $175. What hath dog wrought??? | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Temptation is a favorite of mine and very revealing of improvements in bass definition and extension.Enjoy! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... More like 150 to 200 hours. Life's a bitch.You will be rewarded in the end... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'm enjoying Shirley Horn's "The Main Ingredient" tonight, a 1995 recording made in her NYC living room after the clubs shut down (and after a chicken and greens dinner she prepared as the story goes). Participants include Joe Henderson, Roy Hargr... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks for the tip on McCoy Tyner's Manhattan Moods. I'll check it out. Interesting that on Amazon some CD copies are priced at over $100, but it's available for $16 with Prime shipping and four bucks plus postage used... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Tonight’s feature is McCoy Tyner’s New York Reunion with Joe Henderson, Ron Carter and Al Foster. Magnificent. Spectacular sound-stage with clearly delineated instrumental outlines, yet without any crispies at their outer edges, And Ron Carter's b... |
