Goodness Gracious, I done got me a case of the Vapors!!
It's only about 20 minutes since my last post, but I had to come out of the room, 'cuz those Hurricanes done heated it up something fierce and I just cain't turn 'em off. It done sounded too good! (And before anyone complains I'm un-pc, I'm a 62 year-old Black man and the way I'm feelin' right now, I couldn't care less that I'm coming across as giddy as Butterly McQueen!). G**damn!
So, lets make this easy. I have two fuses left, and I doubt I'll need 'em. Anyone who needs a 10 amp fuse (A Hurricane owner, maybe) can email me : mcbrion@aol.com. I'll GIVE you the fuse for free. That way, you can hear what I (and Lacee) can hear. I'll even pay the postage.
Just as a furthur note: between the time I left the room, an hour ago, and now, the separation of instruments has improved and I noticed, in particular, when the piccolo blows in Cut 2, 2:13 into the cut (the Mercury Living Presence CD of the Rites of Spring (Mercury 434 331-2), the metallic bite is there, but there's no ringing riding the harmonics: it's just a clean, clear take-your-head-off piping hot note! Usually, when I've heard it, there's an extra "zing" to it, but not this time.
So, even though it's only 1 fuse, if you use a 10 AMP fuse, post here or email me. First one wins.
I'm really thrilled that such a stupid little change could effect such a significant improvement in sound. It's not like I was looking for it. I just happened to be perusing Stereophile's articles and went thru the Powerline Accessories section and saw Fremer commenting on them. So I read it. It piqued my interest and I read it and ordered two fuses immediately. (it was only $75.00 for both plus shipping). Here's the link: read it for yourself. And I think we can assume Fremer, big mouth that he is (I'm one, too) is not shilling for ANYone.
Here's the link:
www.stereophile
So, just email me or post here. Whichever I see first, that's who I'm sending it to. This is just too good to keep it to myself. I'll check the threads and my mail for the next few days (today's December 31st at 12:20 a.m.)
May the fastest typist win!
