| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have a problem with using the black duplex. I have only been using CDs to burn in the system. After 140 hours, I used my LPs for an excruciating hour of trial. The sound on about 10 mixed jazz, classical and pop records of great reknown sounded ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... 100 hours on the duplex with standard fuses. They appear to have broken in so that the mids are balanced with new superior bass and higher treble ranges and the ambiance, reverb, natural decay and air which was awol for the first three days are ba... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... When I built my house I contemplated placing the amps near the speakers by putting in two underground floor duplexes at the speaker locations. I'm using them for Shakti air boxes instead | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Robert agrees but he doesn't hear any loss of bass. Now with the black duplex, the immense bass is tight, deep and moves enough air that you can feel it. That's one area that I'm sure is just fine especially with my Grover Huffman large gauge s... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The advantage of running 25 foot speaker wires underground is no one will step on them as they cross the room. It's definitely cleaner and safer. Also no electrical interference or carpet caused static. 80 hours on the duplexes and they are more... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I felt I had a duty to report after reading 29 pages of postings. The naysayers are not helpful. Tweaks are system dependent. Higher end systems will generally be the most sensitive to changes. I chose to make the changes which give me the big... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I am presenting my favorite tweaks to my mature Audio system. The first is two pair of Shakti Hallographs. They are essential to my large 7 driver box speakers. I eliminated all of my sound absorption and deflecting panels when I set up the Ha... | |
| E.A.R. Acute Reliability I have owned and used the Acute 1 for 7 years now. My choice of tubes is on the warm side, Amperex large O getter bugle boys. (I just got some 60's Siemens to try). It requires the best A/C power cord and interconnects to obtain great sound as wel... | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer P.S. I use another Extreme clamshell on 78s every play. Even presumably clean sides have grit or grime which appear after use. Do not mix 78 and LP cleanings in one clamshell. The grit and grime of 78s is significant and sometimes as large as the ... | |
| Solid stylus cleaners: Extreme Phono vs. Onzow Zer I've used Extreme for over a decade on a Lyra B and now on a Benz Ruby 3. Some of the remarks above are accurate, sometimes difficult to fumble opening the clamshell, goop falling out when sent, etc. However, I never had extra goop on the stylus a... | |
| Stillpoint Ultras anyone? Mphnkns you are so right. I have a high end system (cost wise under $50k) and stillpoints,audios,pillows, etc. for vibration control. The last upgrade component was a preamp. I was disappointed in the congestion of orchestral tuttis, difficulty in... | |
| How reliable are EAR amps I own the 864, 324, 890 and Acute for six years. I had a problem with the 324 with one channel going in and out until the one channel failed. It turned out that Dan Meinwald's service tech Mitch Singerman lived nearby. I had a difficult to find sh... | |
| Thoughts on adding a Super tweeter . Tom Port uses Townsend Supertweeters on Legacy Focus speakers. He brought over just one and attached it using duct tape at the inside on my right channel Focus speaker at the level of the existing ribbon tweeter. We listened to vinyl and immediate... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. P.S. I greatly admire Mr. Holt and have met him at audioshows in the 80s. He was ahead of his time when he recognized the potential/value of digital recording, among so many other aspects of audio. He's one of a kind. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I disagree with Mr. Holt concerning today's equipment or even fine solid state gear from 25 to 35 years ago. My system has what in 2005-6 was moderately high priced gear (EAR 890/864/324/Acute now 25% higher priced) which sounds somewhat superior ... |
