Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hi Dicockrum,
That was a very nice (and accurate) acknowledgement concerning Frank. I agree that the outreach and response involving many participants of this thread is an overwhelming sucess. We have improved the sound of our audio systems with the excellent Black fuses and have delightfully made new friends. The sharing of information regarding numerous recordings and exposure to new/unfamiliar musicians is but one wonderful byproduct due to this terrific thread. Thanks again Frank.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Charles

Absolutely agree with Dave and Charles.  Thanks to Frank who started this thread that let us learn about different tweaks that can be apply to our systems.  Even though some of these things are system dependent and might not work for you but he still treated everyone with respect here.  He is always here to answer your questions when you need him. Last but not least, who doesn't enjoy chatting with others who have the common interest as yourself?  Happy holidays and happy listening to you all!

I would would also like to convey my best wishes to David Pritchard and his dear mother. David, along with Charles 1dad,  were two of the foundation stones on which this thread was built.

I always found David's recommendations to be 100% accurate and because of two of these recommendations I was able to make worthwhile improvements to my system in 2016.

 His first recommendation was the SR grounding block which worked wonders in my system. His second recommendation was the SR black A/C receptacle which I installed about 6 weeks ago.

Speaking of David Pritchard, did he drop off the edge of the Earth?

Dave ... 

Thank you so much for your wonderful post. You've made my day.  Very humbling, I must say. :-)

It's been really nice to share the things that work in my system with fellow hobbyists, especially those folks who actually take the time and go through the expense of actually trying the suggestions. Its satisfying when other's get great results from these suggestions as well. This thread has turned out to be an excellent vehicle for that sharing.

Its all about getting us closer to the music we love so much. 

This is such an interesting hobby where under normal circumstances its so expensive to attain significant improvements ... the kind of improvements that would usually take a major equipment upgrade, that when you find a simple tweak like a fuse for 120 bucks, people need to know about it. That's my take, anyway. The friends made along the way? ... well, that's a super bonus. 

I want to wish everyone who has participated in this tread a very Merry Christmas.  

Frank
