Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hello Music Lovers
just a little out of the discussion but can be interesting to know I tried Townshend speaker bars yesterday on my Analysys Audio Epsilon panels. A big surprise at a reasonable cost. You should have a look at the videos and order some. They have a try and buy commercial strategy it seems.
Much more music , all very neat realistic without changing the balance of the sound in any way and oh that bass !!! So nice and easy. I think especially to jazz lovers : you should know that.
I stop here it was just an info I wanted to share with the gentlemen music lovers of this nice thread.

nyame:

Thank you for the kind suggestion - I will order it today. Yesterday my Mother was very upset at herself for burning popcorn in the microwave. Being sight limited she had set the microwave to hours instead of minutes and then went outside the apartment while answering a neighbor's  knock on the door.. She returned to really toxic fumes- the microwave popcorn artificial butter becomes toxic when burned. 

So for two hours I clean the Kitchen floors, walls, etc., discarded the microwave and changed the air cleaners -  the Hepa and the activated carbon prefilters. While doing so I asked Mother to turn off the Hallmark TV channel and put on her music system. 

After 30 minutes of cleaning,  I realised I was hearing a faint female vocalist to some of the instrumentals. MY Mother has softly singing with the music! The powerful healing - relaxing - inspiring effect of music had taken place. 

This is a music system that has all Synergistic Research Black fuses, Synergistic Black wall outlets,and a Synergistic Research Grounding Block.

She hears and feels the improvement these products  give her system.

For those readers or readers with loved ones over 70, please consider a quality air cleaner that has a Hepa filter - for the bedroom and also for the main living room. Please consider once a week B-12 shots. The improvement in the "I think easier with less strain" can be quite remarkable.

Enjoy your music and enjoy life this weekend.

I had a terrible time with my raised floors. Muddy bass.


If one were to look at my system pictures, the solution is evident. I ordered two, two-inch thick unfinished maple platforms from Mapleshade. The platforms are spiked to the floor and the speakers are spiked to the platforms. The difference was night and day. Also, putting heavy granite platforms on top of the speakers helped too. Its like increasing the mass of the speakers.

I love the stories about your Mom. You are a loving son. After meeting you in person at the Newport Show, I can say that it is reflected in your personality. You have a sweet spirit about you David. Very evident here in your posts as well.

As an older person (how did that happen?), the best advise I can give to younger folks who still have living parents is ... treat them with respect and kindness. Keep in constant touch.  Let them know that you love them and appreciate all of the sacrifices they have made for you in your younger days. You will appreciate it later.

Remember, discipline weighs ounces ... and regret weighs tons. :-)

Isolating speakers from lively floors is a must usually for best sound. I’ve found it to be one of the most basic and effective room tweaks one can do.

Yes, Isolating the rest of the system from the speakers, I.e., acoustic feedback, is a great idea. Everything should be isolated because speakers aren’t the only issue. Placing cones under heavy furniture on suspended floors can be quite rewarding as well.
