New Synergistic Master Fuse
@jmfinney I am trying to decide between putting one in my integrated vs streamer. Considering SR suggests putting the Master in source gear or a conditioner, I’m only considering my integrated because it has a dac. Or perhaps more technically corr... 
FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound
Thanks to the earlier adopters of this product for posting. If anyone has a link to comprehensive product information, I’d love to have it.  It sounds like the product comes with sluggo’s of brass and copper for the user to experiment with.  Is... 
New Synergistic Master Fuse
@lordmelton Thank you very much for the help. Really appreciate it.  
New Synergistic Master Fuse
Great question, Lordmelton.  The only viable place for a Master fuse is in my streamer.  My conditioner has no fuse and my Lyngdforf 3400 does the dac-ing and also has no replaceable fuse.  A purple in my streamer has been amazing, but I can sell ... 
Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
54 weeks ago I traveled to a dealer to hear QLN P 3’s, R3 Arrete’s and anything else he might have.  The demo was be done on the same integrated amp and streamer that I owned. The speakers and seat were set up carefully in a very proper listening... 
RiP Peter Breuninger AVShowrooms
Just learned of Peter’s passing from a friend. At this year’s Axpona, I was not in the building 60 yet, when Peter and Terry came walking by in the lobby.  I caught their eyes in order to tell them I enjoyed their videos. My condolences to his f... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
+1 @snapsc I just heard Mr. Pass mention 2nd order harmonics in an interview. But your question about whether 3rd order harmonics is pleasing for complex music is interesting. And, while it may seem intuitive to presume that a system that can d... 
Competitive class D amp suggestions
+ @tweak1 — A good power cord on the Voyager is a is a must. —spring pods are such a deal (mine are autocrast. Same as nobsound. Inexpensive and so effective). Autocrast spring pods under my speakers are by far the best of the 4 vibration-man... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse : “It is closer than I expected it to be” The above line is what made me wonder if you specifically had a hunch one of these would sound better than the other.  But I get that you very well may have just not expected any two amps to be... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse  appreciate the initial comparison of AVA225 and LSA Voyager.  You say you didn’t expect the two amps to be so close.  Curious which one you expected to sound better?  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse Audiovector R3 Arrete’.  They are 8 ohm and 90.5 sensitive.  A  friend of mine was just over and he liked them very much.  He has a big room and really enjoys his Fyne 704’s. The R3’s are the company’s smallest floorstander and happen t... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse, Thank you so much for doing this comparison.  I cannot wait to hear how the Voyager v AVA 225’s goes. The 225’s have been of great interest to me for a long time. I own the Voyager and loved it in used with my previous speakers.  But ... 
Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k
@ei001h, I leave the Krell on indefinitely and also the Innuos player. I started doing that about 3 years ago since none of my gear has tubes. Everything plugs into a Puritan 156. I tried the Krell directly into the wall and liked it better in the... 
Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k
I purchased the K-300ki from @yyzsantabarbara and could not be more thrilled with it. IIRC, the K-300i was the first product that used the iBias circuit although they may not have used that term in the original K-300i literature (or maybe even now... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@Melm, very good observations regarding low-level detail/musicality.  With skill, you largely overcame the pitfalls of using words to describe music and gear with respect to the topic of your post. In my view, you left nothing out.  So the follow...
