| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks Al,Yeah, I personally wouldn't modify a component under warranty. I for one have never seen any such detailed specifications for aftermarket audiophile-oriented fuses. So I guess it comes down to relying on a combination of reported exper... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'd like try the SR RED fuse, but have a question. I've never used after-market audiophile fuses before; how do you know if they are made with the same tolerances as a stock or a Buss fuse for a given amp value? For example, previous posts of the ... | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? I like a mid-concert hall experience, so you're speakers will also play a part in the presentation. Mine are fairly laid-back.Excellent micro dynamics and realistic layering of the orchestra sections.It was a tough choice between Silent Source and... | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? philip,I auditioned Silent Source's Signature speaker cables thru the Cable Company. They have a wide, deep soundstage, are transparent and very focused. I was playing Classical music. They sounded more organic to my ears than MIT. Really terrific... | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? Silent Source has similar sonics to MIT. Natural with smooth highs, very open, laid back. Slightly warm compared to MIT. | |

| How do I post in the "wanteds" ? I believe you go to the SELL heading and then create an ad using the word "WANTED in your listing." Once you are in Sell, Equipment, Classified, then a price list for an ad will appear.Enter "Wanted" in the search box to see how others have done it. | |
| Dedicated Line Advise @imjustdave,I own a small rowhome and have a 12' x 16' listening room (living room). I wouldn't be running anything that required a 220V line.Currently my amp is 300w/8 ohms, 600w into 4 ohms and if I were to change my amp to monoblocks, they woul... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Check the archives using the key words “acoustic panels” and you will find advise, and many "do's" and "don'ts" in treating a listening room. For instance, I would not place absorption panels directly behind speakers; you want the speaker cabinet ... | |
| Conversion to DSD: Does It Eliminate Digital Glare? Many SACD/CDPs do not play Redbook to its full potential. DSD does not play a part in this, good Redbook playback is due to jitter control and often non-upsampling of Redbook files. Try auditioning a multi bit DAC, that will solve your digital gla... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? I said the Cardas 300B cables are a weak link due to the fact that they are an old design Cardas cable. They roll-off the highs, lack low-end extension, and colour the sound. They were replaced by a much better budget cable, the Parsec.These cable... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE Try using a "cheater plug" (2 prong plug) on your preamp. You may have a ground-loop coming thru the interconnect.This test will make the amp the grounded component, and isolate the preamp.As you said, you're using cheap XLR cables, so they may no... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? Typically you would start at the source, so preamp to DAC or phono. But there are no rules on where to start; ARC preamp to ARC amp may result in the most dramatic change in sonics. Start with one cable change to see you like the sonic signature.M... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? markto, You have good components and that’s my point, you’re not maximizing their potential by using the 300B ICs. You say that you like the overall sound of your system, so you probably do like the Cardas house sound. I have auditioned Cardas ext... | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? That's a very nice, well thought-out system. I have one suggestion that could be a very noticeable upgrade to your sonics. You don't say where you are using the Cardas 300B Microtwin ICs, but you can do much better by moving up the Cardas line.
