| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fuses are exactly the right size to do what they're supposed to do, work perfectly at this in zillions of applications, and "Special Fuses" are the same size as non special fuses, except SRs maybe since they might contain smaller wire that sometim... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... When Almarg notes he's influenced by the opinions sited here, I think, hey, this isn't the "magic fuses don't do anything" crowd, it's the "I have sensitive ears and spent the money on special fuses and think they work" forum. Biased? Who knew? I... | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers Just noticed gdhal's response to my satirical doctor's terminology, and realize I should perhaps practice some sort of mirth control. | |
| Too Much Power? He's right…all the "low quality" these days is part of the fact that we're all doomed…"They way people work and think in audio it will never get better, but worse. When you don’t change there is no way back." Personally, I'm taking Bo1972s advice ... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? My relatively ancient Linn Basik table has huge hollow rubber "feet" that really do the job as far as keeping unwanted vibes out of the thing. There's a sub near it and it has no idea. You can't adjust them for height but miraculously the table it... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... More noble sound? What the heck is that? Sweeter treble? Lower and more saturated bass? Unlikely, or more to the point, likely having zero to do with the fuse, but if these things did occur I want to know WHY the fuse made this possible. I'm remin... | |
| Turntable? Somebody (not me) has a Basik/Akito for sale on A'gon…I had to rewire mine with a Jelco-Mogami "DIN" cable (Mogami "Neglex" in weird pink) as the original cable was in bad shape, and that had the benefit of reducing cartridge hum bigly. | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated Sonist. Not sure if I've seen much negative about those anywhere. | |
| Tekton Electron has been released I like Tekton's ideas mostly, but man…no attempt to make these things look nice. Exceptions there of course, like getting an ebony veneer on some Tekton things, but when I sit to listen I like an esthetically pleasant looking speaker…maybe that's ... | |
| Larsen Loudspeakers Oh yeah…those things. Very cool. I read a review someplace and thought they looked innovative, which is often rare these days…and regarding room absorption using "any speaker" (not including Ted Talks), I'm a big believer in furniture and carpets ... | |
| Any pluses or minuses to the older McIntosh mc275 compared to the newer mc275's IV, V, VI? The little LEDs under the tubes in the newer 275s are adorable and worthy of mention. Or maybe not, but it's too late now. | |
| Power an amp and component with batteries instead of direct outlet power? What about gas powered amps? Nuclear? Some limitations maybe, but might sound fabulous. | |
| Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile Tube Loaner…that sounds like an audiophile Marvel Comics character (Although "loner" would be more apt). Expecting somebody to "loan" a fragile glass object seems naive (Evian spelled backwards), but I think many tube sellers would exchange tubes... | |
| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? I get paid (some may say "overpaid") to mix live concerts so I know what music sounds like, until I ruin it with my mixes…anyway, regardless of the opinions of any anti tube crusader, tube are more fun. They just are. By the way, being anti tube c... | |
| Are You Sorbothane Experienced? Hey moderator! Geoffkait is picking on me! WHAAAA...Just wait until I get my new speakers…then people will like me!…*sniff*... |
