An audio geek lawyer friend in The Great North told me Vermont’s Attorney General’s Consumer Protection unit will likely be investigating "The Gate" soon (and other "Path" stuff)...that should be interesting...get ’em while you can! And hat’s off to Pragmasi for injecting some logic into this thread...well done!
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
There are fuses, and then, there are fuses.
I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago.
Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue.
The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs.
The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October.
Stay tuned ...

Send in the clowns! 🤡 Lawyer joke: What do you call a lawyer who’s up to his neck in concrete? Not enough concrete. 🤗 The only way the refrigerator would not be “part of the audio signal” is if the audio system was on a dedicated circuit. This explains why cleaning or using contact enhancer on the refrigerator power plug is audible. Duh! |

I pasted my refrigerator plug with TC. Same with the TV. And any unused outlets have a "Stop It" inserted into it. wolf_garcia ... Very interesting wolfie, considering that PPT is located in New Hampshire. Hey, Putz, if you're going to be slinging BS in these forums, the very least you should do would be to get your story straight. Frank |

This sort of problem is so very real, that i convinced a few audio show runners that before their given show plays out in the given hotel complex... ..that they needed to have an electrician come around and give a little twist and check on every single associated in room and out of room AC power line tie down (screw down) points in all the associated AC power boxes. and to not neglect the ground lines, either. And the outcome is an obvious better sound quality for everyone in the display rooms. As most hotels will never have their AC panels checked or serviced, unless there is a severe problem. As AC operation is critical for them, and AC power quality ---means nothing. But the audio folks want quality as well, and that requires making sure the lines have no issues. |
