Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
Even Kevin's photos show the dullness of one speaker compared to the other. In the first photo, the duller one is in front of the shiny one and it's plainly obvious. How he could miss it is beyond me. I hope the new tweeter goes a long way towards... 
Tekton Electron has been released
Well, this is going to drive a lot of traffic to his site, me included. 
Best furniture to act as bass trap
Once I got rid of my overstuffed, microfiber sofa with recliner on one end and chaise on the other, the bass and mids improved considerably. I thought the highs would be the main beneficiary but it turned out to not be the case. In fact, there was... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Imagine, for a moment, some manufacturer going the resettable fuse route. They'd be a year ahead of the competition and have a better sounding product to boot (all things being equal). And, if smart, they'd never mention it and a year up on the co... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
teo_audio, that was the most convincing illustration of why better made fuses can, and do, have a positive effect. It will, however, pass right over the skulls of some here. But not to worry, there'll be a hissy fit of a comeback, 'shortly'.All th... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
teo_audio, nice take on the sound of "ordinary" fuses and how they differ as well. I've linked to this site before where the reviewer mentioned the same thing along with his take on the boutique fuses. He says even the $2.00 fuses offer an improve...

But the swings.....Every effort to park 'em in the cheap seats and yet, no contact.

I knew this wouldn't last.

Dare to speak your piece and a virtual dog pile ensues. A closed mind deserves its fate. 
Ever sit down to listen and just say wow?
Yup. The last time it happened was when I recently had my speaker cables reterminated (on the amp end) from spades to bananas. I thought they had mistakenly sent back the next line up or something since it completely transformed the sound. My syst... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hmm, if a fuse is made to be a sacrificial component, as proffered by georgehifi, then wouldn't it make sense to make one of higher quality?It wouldn't degrade as quickly, if ever. As for the ones that blew instantly, aren't those rather rare comp... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Fuses should not degrade, they should blow when required. Some here have gone so far (overboard) as to state that if your gear can be affected by a change in fuses, cords, etc. then there's something wrong with your gear: it's crap.Saying that, th... 
High quality interconnects - bargain price
So it's simply a matter of limits?Given that, everyone to their own. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Wolf, I found this on another thread and it may (or may not) answer your question:auxinput309 posts11-17-2016 12:31pmThe idea that fuses and power supply components are not part of the signal chain is not entirely correct. Anything coming in from ...
