Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Knghifi,That's a good observation and I agree  regarding the SR Red fuse effect based on my results. The sonic character wasn't altered in my system. It just seems the present good attributes  were simply improved. Clarity,  openess, dynamic ebb a... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
David, I find that the change of fuse direction is "noticeable" but subtle in effect.Joe,Yes, the fuse seems to have a bit more of an impact. The capacitor change improved along the lines of refinement and tonality(which were already exceptionally... 
Great Flugelhorn Recordings
Hi Sal,Yep in regard to Art Farmer. Gerry Mulligan's "Night Lights" features a lot of Farmer's beautiful flugelhorn. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi Joe,My older Frankenstein MK II ( bought new in 2009) uses one 3 amp slo blo(that plugs into the rear of the amplifier). The SR Red is 3.15 amp(closest match). Your Franks are a newer version so you may or may not have the same size fuse. Joe; ... 
Great Flugelhorn Recordings
Dmitri Matheny, "Starlight Cafe"Roy Hargrove, "Jazz In The Key Of Blue" Trumpet and lots of flugelhorn also. 
Hi End Fuses
There's  a current thread covering  this very topic.It was started by Oregonpapa about the   Synergistic Red fuses and it contains  many opinions and  listening  impressions of this  and other  fuses.You may find it  quite  helpful. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi David,I bet your system  with those pieces sounds marvelous. I wouldn't be surprised if  the upgraded  fuses have more impact on the source  (DAC,Phono stage) and preamp than the power amplifier. I ordered  the wrong  size fuses for my DAC (my ... 
Do all tubes glow
Some tubes do not emit  a glow.My EML  XLS and Takatsuki  300b tubes don't.They both sound  superb regardless. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I've had the SR Red fuses in my Line Stage 9 days and the SET amplifier for 4 days. I can say unequivocally that they are exceptional  value  purchases  and as Knghifi wrote earlier,  offer  great ROI, amen. The people who have posted on this thre... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi Oregonpapa,,You have me confused with Ca3713 comments regarding the Quantum chips. I've never  used them. Hi Ca,l,  skepticism is a legitimate  reaction to unusual  products. I have no opinion on the  various chips. I can only attest  to the im... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Audiolabyrinth,As I posted a couple of days ago , the Red fuses placed in the  mono blocks led to further  sonic improvement.  I'll do my DAC in a few days. The benefit of these  is unquestionable based on listening impressions of my system. I hav... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Hi JwmIs this because you  find  they all have an identifiable sonic  signature  or theoretical  based on the  fact they're  class D? Just curious.Charles, 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi Rob,Happy New Year to you as well.I've also decided to go with the Oyaide WPC-Z  outlet cover with the Afterburner 8. I'll  use the Furutech cover elsewhere. I believe  putting some high quality parts at the AC wall receptacle will payoff for t... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Audiolabyrinth,I know that the Furutech GTX requires extensive  burn in hours.To the best of  my knowledge I don't  believe the Afterburner 8 needs  nearly as much time. One week  should be  plenty of   adequate  burn in. This is an unplatted outl... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
David,Lak has offered to  burn in my Afterburner 8 outlet for a week on his Audio karma Cooker and I accepted  his gracious  offer.I'll ship it to  him on Monday.Charles,
