| RIP oregonpapa Firing up one for Frank (@OregonPapa). 10 Years Gone. Godspeed, sir. | |
| Finally had my amp repaired ; I should have done it sooner; met a great tech........ Nice! Definitely a good guy to have in your back pocket...... | |
| RIP oregonpapa Very sorry to hear this. I'm pretty new here, but he always seemed to handle himself with class and tried to help people out with his experiences and knowledge. The audio community could certainly use more people like him. | |
| Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS? I like Tektons for what they are (have a pair, actually), but $18k does seem kind of expensive for a plain box. Eric really should work on the aesthetics if he's going to play in that market. JM2W. | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? I’ve had a couple of pieces by Schiit over the last couple of years: Thin, dry, clunky and sound cheap. Not super expensive, but more expensive that they’re worth. Fortunately, they were easy to sell. Magnepan: Inefficient, sorely lacking in the ... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment 1. Picked up a pair of Emerald Physics 2.8 Carbon OB speakers. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to go back to box speakers after these. (At least not in a price range I can afford.) 2. All my main components now run SR fuses. Eye-opening experience... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses "1. No idea. 2. To follow, what type of audio equipment do the purple owners have? Tube/SS? Ultra high end or moderate specs/components? I'm open to any tweak, but I try to eliminate at least some of the variables to make my results maybe more ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @dabel , not sure if that’s allowed (after all, A’gon is trying to sell stuff). If you do a search inside A’gon, you will see ads for the Purple fuses for sale. A quick Google search will also reveal several retailers. Ted might even list some on... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @jerrybj , I'm not surprised. Selling like hotcakes for a reason, I guess..... I do need a .63 amp small slow-blow for the tube stage on my Denon, so if anyone upgrades and has an Orange laying around.....let me know. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? I know it sounds good when the music coming out of the speakers matches what I think it ought to sound like. When I play a recording I've heard a million times and hear something new I never noticed before. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses None. Replace it with the manufacturer's rated fuse. I've been using SR fuses for a while now, never had an issue. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I think we can all see what’s going on. I just don’t understand the motive. It’s a money-back guarantee. Maybe certain people can’t afford the $200? I have no idea. Anyway, back to the SR Purple fuses. I have one in my Classe pre-amp. Its sound... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Gentlemen, let’s try to be cool. Or we’ll see this wonderful thread that keeps bringing out the best in everyone shut down again. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses "I am happy that your $200 fuse made such an improvement in your system. Now take that one out and put in a $3 Littelfuse and re-evaluate. Chances are you won't hear a difference." I've done that. A couple of times, actually. I can absolutely ... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses "I have to tell you that I submitted your lengthy, and somewhat ridiculous, review of the SR Purples to the "Audio Bullsh!t" group, and, so far, 36 commenters have made you quite the laughing stock." Beautiful. I’m going to go out on a limb a... |
