| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... The real answer for the audible effects is simply the “power of suggestion”So thousands of people who do hear a difference are imagining it and about a dozen who haven't tried it know better. That makes a lot of sense. All the best,Nonoise | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Does anyone know just how a fuse is made? I know there are no fairies soldering both ends of the "wire" in the same manner to the insides of both end caps.Are both ends a mirror copy of each other in the way they're made and the way they look? Or ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Thanks, Al, for always being the consummate gentleman. Your approach has always been welcomed, appreciated, and serves as a guiding principle in how to simultaneously take a side and let sleeping dogs lie.Your lawyerly skills were on full display ... | |
| GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable I just installed two Gutwire Perfect Ground cables, one to my SACD player, and after hearing it, I went and installed the other on my integrated. Past practice dictates waiting for one to break in before trying another but heck, the results were s... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I never worry when someone invokes kharma. Lots of people mistakenly think it means revenge and are content to use it as a device than can take care of someone when they lack the means to do so themselves.Kind of sad, in a kharmic sense, but it br... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production More than likely has to with trade and tariffs.If so, this could be the tip of the iceberg. I just saw used BDP-103 units going for low $400 to just over $600 on amazon. One could buy a UDP-203 and sell their 103 to cover most of the cost. I'm lea... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... George, look before you post. That way it won't look so bad.jetter, it must be frustrating, indeed, to be you. | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Now that takes a lot of chutzpah to recommend fuses from the ’60s that were good enough for NASA. I guess we can trash all of our modern gear as well and literally live in the past, forever fearful of progress or anything that would upset our prim... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... But the assumption that they can have any effect on the tone of an electrical circuit seems silly to most people who know about such things.Pot meet kettle. Your premise is faulty and you speak from a supposed higher ground. I do believe you've tr... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... When the law is on your side, you argue the law.When the facts are on your side, you argue the facts.When neither are on your side, you pound the table.George, stop pounding the table.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Missing the Old Days A big + on the JBL recommendation. I have the 4319 monitors and they're based on decades old tech and sound wonderful; no sub needed and can be loud enough to break any lease. They're driven by a good old Class A/B Marantz integrated and I use sol... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses What's it like to go through life doubting everything unless it's objectively tested? My neck would sure be sore looking over my shoulder all the time. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses That is true, but the ones I've seen that say there's a difference, actually heard the difference, whereas the ones that say there are no differences, say it without benefit of hearing it for themselves. It seems that false equivalency can be had ... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Something tells me that if George were subjected to a Rorschach test, all he would see are slowly aging fuses. | |
| Interested in listening to Antipodes. What’s great about the EX is it has a built in DAC that’s good for PCM and up to 24bit, 192 Khz with analog outputs. A better DAC can be added later, if you wish. For luddites, like me, it may be the way to go in the future. It can hold all of my ... |
