Synergistic Red Fuse ...

mac48025George,
I wish I knew how to post links, but I don’t.

Mac, what I simply asked was for a link to an Audiophile fuse manufacturer that states that their fuse will improve the sound of your system, not hearsay.

Cheers George

GK, I also have a quasi-high end analog set-up, a VPI TNT VI mod./SME IV mod./Benz Ruby 3, isolation platform/Audio Interface SUT and $15K custom phono stage.  About $30K+ and properly aligned.  I just counted 79 RFR and FR pressings.  I have heard all but 3.  Generally, they are excellent; however, vinyl noise is a factor on many of them and the bass is absolutely not better than the MLP CDs.  My speakers play down to 16 Hz with 3 12" drivers.  As to your mischaracterization of the CDs, I don't know what you are using to play them on and I have already stated my EAR Acute based system.  I do not hear reversed polarity at all.  I hear sound usually at the apex of all recorded sound for the period.  Tremendously enjoyable.  There were some miscues in remastering such as in the first cut of the HI-Fi a la Espagnola or the dry sound of the mono release which I can't remember.   The Starker CDs sound fantastic, equal to the LPs without surface noise.  As to differences in sound by the different sets, they all sound excellent, just a little different. 

On Capitol Kids Songs for Grown-Ups, I've heard 5 CDs, of which I own 3, Robert owns one and Tom Port of Better Records owns 1.  2 of my 3 copies are less dynamic and less focused sounding than the other 3 copies.  So, we listen to the best copies instead.  As I said before, the variability is present, just not as prominent as differences in LP pressings.

Hello Al,
Thanks for the follow up. I have the 2 CD set of "Chopin Nocturnes" by Ivan Moravec, simply beautiful music!

Tatiana Nikolayeva "Plays The Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas" I am attracted to her playing style , lighter touch but I sense much expression and emotion. This is a live performance in Russia.

Classical music is an interesting contrast from my beloved jazz music.

It’s kind of pointless to argue further on the subject of SQ and Mercury LPs or CDs as there are perfectly good reasons why you hear things as you describe, it doesn't mean what I said is wrong. I have said what I wanted to say. It can serve no further purpose to argue about this any more.

have a nice day

I love Ivan Moravec. Listening to the double album of Debussy & Chopin - Piano Works. Thanks guys for the music.
