| D'Agostino Progression monoblocks replacing my Theta Prometheus monoblocks I am curious what you like about the sound of the D'Agostino amps compared to your Ncore based Theta Prometheus amps? I sold NC1200 amps after owning them for over a year so I could go back to a pair of conventional SS Class A amps. My experienc... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... A real DIYer could figure out how to inject beeswax into a fuse. His hard could it be? 🐝 Excellent point Geoff. I have actually thought of this. Drill a small hole, use a small needle, heat up the beeswax, solder the hole closed, etc. etc......... | |
| Thinking of replacing my Bat spaceheater with class D, real world thoughts please Since you asked, and you are apparently still interested in the topic, I suggest you read the following review of the Mola Mola Kaluga by Mono and Stereo.Their conclusion describes pretty much what I heard from the similar Ncore NC1200 amps by Aco... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... @geoffkait I put together a device similar to the linked video below to my burn in for the SR blacks for about a four days. Given what I heard, it seems to have taken the fuse about ~85% of the way there with another jump in performance after... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Au contraire mon frère, below is the lowdown. Note that it conditions power cables so mid to high amperage power fuses should be a walk in the park. I suspect Alan has a recommendation for conditioning lower amperage fuses as well. Lots of folks ... | |
| Can't we all just get along? One thing that would help us all to understand the perspective of each individual posting here would be if everyone would post pics and descriptions of their system(s) in the virtual systems here on A’Gon.I agree. You never know when you might be... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Curious whether any of you burn your fuses in using something like the audiodharma Cable Cooker? If so, did you hear any changes? | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Nice post Zephyr24069There has been a lot of broad-brush painting here lately.I agree that folks should buy what they want and what makes them happy with their systems. While I enjoy the discourse about the science behind different designs and ma... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable The negotiations bogged downExplain please. What negotiations? It seems there was an offer by A. Randi so the next step is for Fremer to accept or decline. Did Fremer ask for best 2 out of 3? Did A. Randi withdraw the offer? What are you ta... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC I believe your 1V input sensitivity means your amp/amps achieve full output power with a 1V input. This is relatively low and should work with about any DAC. To me, the bigger issue is matching impedance if you are adjusting volume with a passiv... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC FWIW, when I sent my Pavane over to the Netherlands for the upgrade, I purchased an Ayre Acoustics QB-9 DSD because I wanted music and because I always wanted to try one. It was a nice sounding DAC but IMO and based on my recollection, I would ha... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC Stretch your budget just a little for a used Pavane. You can later upgrade if you feel the need. The base model is much better than the Hex and their Level 3 (run through a very good preamp) beat their highly rated Adagio head-to-head, for my tas... | |
| Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system? You have received some very thoughtful answers through which I have learned some things here. In my experience, outside of differences in speaker quality, amp/speaker compatibility issues, and sonic preferences of the listener, the bass response... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Lots of name-calling going on here. I sort of understand it coming from Frank since he is OP and defender of the faith but from you Geoff, stirrer of the pot, I have come to expect more originality.There are many designers/manufacturers here who ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... It is nice that designer Ted Denney with Synergistic Research Inc. is participating on this thread. I have found it insightful when designers/manufacturers show up here to discuss and help us understand their products. Unfortunately, Ted's posts ... |
