Fuses that matter.
I use the Synergistic Research fuses and I think Audiolabyrinth will find the RED fuse to really increase the musicality of his system.I found it to be a fun and rewarding experiment with no downside. 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
At another thread here at Audiogon we have discussed the wall A/C receptacles.One wants to remember that the Synergistic Research outlet's sound is a result of the combination of the metals used in construction and the Quantum Tunneling process th... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle
Yes I am using the Furutech Rhodium version. All my outlets have been in place for several months and are fully settled in. The point I wish to make is for me, there is not a one best recepticle but that in a circuit with multiple outlets a mixtur... 
Anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio show??
I was raised in Dallas and Austin. I ate at Garcias twice last year and found the food to be good, prices low, and service fast. Beats the hotel food and prices. For lunch or snacks the Woody Creek Backery across the street from Garcias is quite n... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle
My audio equipment is on one circuit that has 5 recepticles. I am still using a mixture of outlets. I have replaced the Oyaide R-1s with the Furutech GTX-R. The Furutech is less dark, better details. It does not present as much overall sound, for ... 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Best utilization of time and money in this situation. Hire Jim Smith to discuss situation and possible amp- speaker combination. Goe to RMAF and listen to some of Jim Smiths suggestions and the suggestions here. Buy speakers at RMAF at show discou... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
It is frustrating during the process but oh so rewarding when the sound harmonizes with the room. It seems that the IPC Energizers and the Audio Magic products are similar but maybe just slightly different so they interfere with each other. It wil... 
Anyone going to RMAF this year?
Just visited the Synergistic Research Facebook page. They are bringing several new products ( non cables or interconnects) that improve the room-speaker interface and the sound reproduction. Also for the first time they have a product to improve t... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Sabi:The IPS Energizers create the sensation that the music extends farther into the room and there is a sense of the music being more palpable. Turned off the music is "over there" where the speakers are located. They were fussy in getting optima... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Sabai:Glad to read you are experiencing what I am, in that the Synergistic Research ARTS works well with other room treatments. I use Acoustic Revive unit at each end of the room and the IPC energisers (5) units in the room. In addition I have the... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
Sabai: The Synergistic research is still the foundation of accoustic treatments to my listening room. In addition to the Vibratron, I do use the full compliment of Gravitrons, Magnitrons, and Bass stations. Front wall has 4 Magnitrons and 2 Gravit... 
Anyone going to RMAF this year?
RMAF is just a great time and well worth the effort to attend. If driving in remember parking is not free- do not let that upset you. The big parking lot across the street is independent of the convention and so the will make you pay.For the ultim... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE V Furutech GTX
My equipment is on a single circuit that has 6 outlets. I have found that a combination of the Synergistic Research SE outlets x 4 with 2 Furutech GTX-R outlets gives my system a better sound then only using one type if outlet. This is time consum... 
Comparing Receptacles
Very nice and helpful observations. Davea33's statement of using a combination of outlets in his system mirrors my experience.All my equipment is on one circuit with 5 A/C receptacles.I am using this combination: 2 Synergistic Research Tesalplex S... 
Audio-Magic Blackout Paint
I received my bottle of Audio Magic Blackout paint this week. I have tried it on an Art Audio PX-25 amplifier and an Eddie Current- Zana Deux headphone amp. I applied it first to the rectifier tubes and the driver tubes. A nice sonic improvement w...
