Thanks for the tip on McCoy Tyner's Manhattan Moods. I'll check it out. Interesting that on Amazon some CD copies are priced at over $100, but it's available for $16 with Prime shipping and four bucks plus postage used...
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I installed a SR RED Quantum fuse in my ARC REF-3 preamp a few days ago, replacing an older high end fuse. Uhh ... for a hundred bucks, this little baby is well worth the cost. There was an immediate improvement upon installation, but now that its broken in (yes, no kidding), its quite remarkable. A tightening of the focus, a more solid image, and most important of all for my tastes, a deeper appreciation for the organic sound of the instruments. Damn! ... cellos sound great! Much improved attack on pianos. More humanistic on vocals. Bowed bass goes down forever. Next move? .... I'm doing the entire system with these fuses. One at a time though just to gauge the improvement in each piece of equipment. The REF-75se comes next. I'll report the results as the progression takes place. Stay tuned ...
Any comments from anyone else who has tried these fuses?

I have 3 jazz cd's to buy by this wonderful piano player I just discovered. Lynne Arriale Trio (When You Listen), (The Eyes Have It), and (With Words Unspoken). All are on the DMP label. The cymbals sound so realistic you think you were in a jazz club. I would start with the first one and go from there. Lynne's style of playing is more to my liking than Dianna Krall. |
Jwm ... Thanks for the heads up on Lynne Arriale. This is the first I've heard of her. I just checked her out on Spotify. Her "Inspiration" album sounds great on my Audioengine PC system. Two cuts ... "A House is Not a Home," and "The Nearness of You" are very movingly played. Nice! Tasty! If you like Lynne Arriale, you'll also like Jessica Williams. Here's two of her very well recorded live albums: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vol-1-Live-At-Yoshis-Jessica-Williams-2004-CD-NEUF-/262409587779?hash=item3d... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Live-at-Yoshis-Vol-2-/331859091137?hash=item4d4457dec1:g:9tsAAOxyeR9TGFZ- OP |
