Money well spent

Oleschool, I hear you. As I said, I'd just bought a super cable. In fact, I need two, one for the phono and one for deck, and I could get another one but decided not to and wait for a year or so.

Hi, Oleschool ...

Go back and reread Tablejockey's post. He has it right. Here's a cost effective way to get where you want to be ... at least temporarily as the hobby goes.

1.  Buy a custom turntable belt from originlive.com.  This is NOT a subtle improvement, its major.

2.  Buy an Audio Technica ART-9 cartridge. As Tablejockey, Pani and Almarg will attest ... its a giant killer, beating many cartridges over 3K - 5K.

3.  Install Synergistic Research Black fuses in all of your electronics.

4.  Buy a ten-pack of Synergistic Research High Frequency Transducers (HFT's) and place them around your room in compliance with the directions in the box.

5. Buy a nice supply of adult diapers and don them prior to your first listening session after all of the above is complete. Yer gonna need them. :-)

My room is treated at this time , i have 4 fuses in my intergrated that 500 bks . I have decent fuses in there now , i am on the fence with 100 dollar fuses . And haven't heard the at I believe your comment but it is in the same price range im already in now 

I would like to try the fuses but the god awful long battles here on them is tough to read thru lol

I am considering the SR HFT's. Two considerations at hand are, how effective without the FEQ. I have several items on my audio things to get list and probable would have no problem swinging the HFT's but not both the FEQ and HFT's. At this point in time the other items would be more of a priority to me.  Since I have no acoustic treatment, the other consideration would be acoustic treatment vs. HFT's. Can you remember which of the two were more beneficial to your system.  I would probably consider corner traps and two first reflection panels on each adjoining speaker wall.
BTW I found your treads regarding SR Black fuses and Black PC very beneficial and educational; resulting in the purchase 4 fuses 2 power cords, with a couple more of each on my list.  I am thinking it would also be of benefit to install referenced fuse in my TT pre power supply and one in my REL sub.
Have you tried any of the PHT's. If so what did you think?
