| Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp As others have stated, it’s too soon to hear the true sonic signature of your system. In the end, your amp may end up with neutral sonics, but the dynamics and depth will have opened up.I also agree that the Dynaudio Focus line has warm, full-bodi... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Interesting how much a SR Black can influence the sound. I was asking myself, "it's only a fuse, why does my system sound so bad."The Red sounded great within the first listening session.Many thanks. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I was following the thread in the early days and installed a SR Red fuse in my ARC CDP; I wanted to start at the source. It was such a tremendous improvement in every way and since the spinner is naturally detailed, I stayed with the Red.Next I au... |
