Synergistic Red Fuse ...

lak:
System 1:
Plugged into the Black outlet is the Synergistic Research Power Conditioner 10 Mark ll. The audio system is then plugged into the conditioner.

System 2:
Plugged into the Black outlet is a Synergistic Research Power Conditioner 4. This is the headphone system. So SACD player and tube amp are plugged into this conditioner. The Black outlet is really improving the headphone experience. 75 hours on this system.

Neither my house nor my Mother's apartment is it possible to have dedicated circuits. I am looking forward to Mother's Day Dinner at the apartment tonight so I can also get listen to the break in progress her Black outlet has made -it will have 24 hours on it.

David, have you tried the new Furutech NCF outlet?  It's about the same price as the new SR Black.

I have not tried the new Furutech NCF outlet. I am quite sure it is in the highest level of outlets available ( going on the quality of sound their GTXD-R outlet gives. Before the Black outlet I was using three to four Synergistic Research Teslaplex outlets together with one or two Furutech GTX outlets on the same shared circuit. Each circuit has five outlets. Dedicated outlets not an option. A Furutech outlet was replaced with the SR Black outlet. This is the outlet the power conditioner is plugged into.


The SR Black has many of the qualities of these two outlets if they were combined, with the additional fabulous quality of greatly improved sense of separation of instruments and greater dynamic impact.

This is a wonderful rewarding outlet even after only 15 hours on the Terasonic speaker system.

My Mother called me at 9:00 this morning saying " I turned on my music system (with the new Black oulet) this morning at 6 am. I couldn't wait any longer to call to tell you my system has never sounded better".

I went over and listened and she was absolutely correct. The depth of emotion in Frank Sinatra's voice and Karen Carpenter voice was breathtaking. It really was a very special hour of time spent with my Mother.

Wow, David! I'm impressed. I'll bet there aren't many audiophiles who can claim that their mother is also an audiophile.

sherod:

She loves to hear music on a system where she can experience the artistry and emotion of the performers. She did not become an audiophile until the age of 88.

At age 88  she was critically ill in the hospital. I took a portable CD player with Sennheiser 650 headphones and CD of  Mozart concertos to the hospital. At night I put the CD on continuous repeat play. The music allowed her to both get some sleep and be at peace at whatever the outcome was to be. By the narrowest of margins she recovered.

Since then her music system has evolved to the satisfying system she enjoys so much
