Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hi Nayme,
From both a philosophical and design perspective the WTT is the polar opposite of the massive and extravagant Acoustic Signature Invictus table you mentioned. The WTT was in my opinion a brilliant yet simple turntable that yielded superb sound quality. I truly enjoyed it for years. Conceptually it reminds me of a top quality SETamplifier, pure and natural due to well engineered simplicity. I fully understand why Frank loves his WTT.
Charles,

geoffkait, does a bear sh*t in the woods, sorry no I can’t ask you that, because you can’t see the forest through the trees.

Read up on AC theory and then you’ll understand just how much voodoo bull**** you and others are speaking about fuses being directional when mains AC is involved.

Even if they were DC rail fuses, it would be still voodooistic to say they were directional.
Now there’s something you can try geoffkait, use a dc fuse of the same amp rating instead of an ac fuse, then you may hear something different, I’d be interested in this outcome.

Cheers George

As much as I would like to take you up on your suggestion to try a DC fuse in lieu of an AC fuse of the same amp rating I am absolutely the wrong person for this task as my current system actually contains no fuses, nor any fuse holders, nor is any such thing necessary as my system is completely independent of house AC, a couple AA size batteries suffice.

As I understand things around here, this is a thread devoted to sharing our PERSONAL experiences,initially with the Synergistic Research Red fuses and subsequently expanded to include other fuses as well as other AC power products.

It follows then, if you have no PERSONAL experience with any of these products or product categories then you are just wasting time--yours (which you seem not to value), and that of the many folks who have participated in this thread sharing their PERSONAL experiences in good faith. A few posters here actually tried these products and found that they could perceive no sonic changes, or no changes for the better. I totally respect them and their views and I appreciate their contributions to this thread.

But seriously, if your scientific understanding of AC power and its interaction with audio power supplies and other devices on a circuit is not post-doc PhD with extensive personal applied experience in these areas, I am really not interested in your theories about why nothing in the power supply chain could possibly influence my perception of a re-created musical performance in my home.

I use and enjoy these products, and my non-audiophile friends (who have no idea what I’ve been messing with) are generally capable--unprompted--of hearing and noting differences in the sound of my system over time.

So, to put it bluntly, if you have no personal experience with these products, feel free to lurk, or to sincerely ask questions, but otherwise, please save yourself the agita and the wasted keystrokes, and let the rest of us get on with our little hobby....

On a happier note, I am chilling to Olu Dara's album "Neighborhoods." Very highly recommended for performance and sonics, along with his late-nineties debut "In the World: From Natchez to New York."

Very cool. Check 'em out some time...
