Mr E- This past weds. nite I enjoyed an evening of acoustic jazz, performed by a quartet of local musicians, hosted by the University of Indianapolis(http://www.county29.net/cms2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17251&Itemid=99999999). A specially designed room of excellent acoustics, and seating tiered to enable all attending a balanced perspective, without someone's head "shadowing" the sound. Granted- much of what is available out there is amplified and in less than perfect venues, but there is also much available to those that really love music. That music is amplified DOES NOT indicate that it has to be other than natural. There are many of us who maintain the goal of presenting music to the audience(live or recorded) unaltered except for the DB level. Great pains are taken(by those that have the means and desire) to insure this is accomplished by way of proper hall design, careful selection of sound reinforcement equipment, and staffing with people that have taken the time to train their hearing to recognize acoustic anomolies. Of course: Even in a live venue there will be many different perspectives depending on where one is seated. BUT- Exposure to the real thing will always give an individual a fresh window through which to view his/her own system/listening room/music. That there are large numbers of people that don't bother with live music, and only compare audio equipment with audio equipment doesn't bother me in the least. What goes on in their listening environment is their business. For me(again) anything that brings my home experience closer to the recording session is well worth the effort or expense. To avert the next response: Yes I do have recordings, personally done, that I can tap as a reference. If those are faithfully reproduced, I am confident that I'm hearing what is recorded on the media I'm playing accurately. There will be the ubiquitous variables between other performances/recordings and my speakers, but I've sought to remove as many as possible in my own system. That the fuses in question allow for a more "natural" presentation of music has prompted me to invest in more. Anyone that has a similar love for music, discerning ears, and a resolving system in their home would do well to try them.
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
My Rogue Cronus recently blew a slow blow fuse. I was surfing to find a replacement. The stock fuse is a typical metal end cap, glass and "wire" fuse. The audio emporiums only seemed to offer these $39 German gold plated end wunderkinds. I finally found "normal" fuses from a guitar amp site. Has anyone tried the uber fuses and found the sound better? Hard to understand how it could be. Thanks for any thoughts.
