OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system.


Everyone:

i have been been using Audiogon to educate myself on trying to improve my audio systems ( yes I have two systems - one in my main living area and one in my man cave ). I actively buy used equipment on Audiogon and I use the discussion boards to educate myself on how to best improve my sound. I just specifically asked for help on implementing the ‘new orange fuse from SR in my main system on another thread that apparently just got shut down ! To clarify comments made on the thread that is now closed - I am only looking to replace fuses that I have access to on the outside of my system components. I am not opening up any equipment. I am not qualified to do this - I am a Chemist who loves music! Audiogon discussion boards have improved my sound in the last 6 months to a level that is ‘over the Moon great’. I now use Anticable for my interconnects and speaker wire, Furman Elite 15 Power Conditioner, High Fidelity Cables MC 0.5 Power Conditioner.  I upgraded my Maggie 1.6 qrs- they are now Peter Gunned - midrange vocals are the best I have ever heard!

the people hear that have helped me - you know who you are - elizebeth - nonoise - thanks again for the help!

i asked for help directly from Oregonpapa concerning the SR Orange fuse just released - but I got the thread killed I guess - sorry. Not my intent. I just wanted to buy the correct fuse that I can access without opening up my equipment. I listed my specific equipment earlier - but the only fuses I have access to are:

Krell KAV 400 xi - one fuse port labeled AGC 8 - this integrated amp is out of warranty and 9 years old - still sounds great
Maggie 1.7i - type 3AG 4 amp max

any help would be appreciated!

Just bought 3 x SR Orange fuses.
2 for my Perreaux R200i
1 for my heavily modded Beresford SEG Dac.
Eagerly await their arrival.

Replacing 2 x SR Black and 1 x SR Red.

Can't respond to other posts, which is a tad frustrating.


Have added a significant number of tweaks over the past 18 months. Some more effective than others.
Initial review of the SR Orange fuses:

Base stronger - seems to hang in the air.
Instrument separation more discernible.
Again, hearing things in tracks I'd never heard before.

Wish I had longer, but gotta work some!

I do not question your mental health.
Where do you ever think you have the right to question mine?

We are talking about objects. As previously requested, please leave me alone.

Oh BTW Jerry, this is Geoff’s site, you should find some you don’t have, maybe, you two should get on like a house on fire.
George, your wisdom is intimidating, as is your quick wit.
I love your ability to listen to others, how open you are to other view points and experiences, your respectfulness, fairness and compassion.
How kind you are to others. What an awesome human being...
Some comments to George and his ’less than reasonable’ posts.

I see grammar is not one of his strengths.
Also, a thesaurus may help...

Love listening to others that have something "sound" to say.
Then stop listening to those who don’t agree with you.

There’s reason why many of these snake oil fuse threads get shut down.
Because people like you ruin it with unreasoned diatribe.

What about following this guys lead below, after which you can commit yourself and join Geoff.
You show how petty you really are with these personal attacks.

Your names not Geoff, last time I looked, but after that maybe you should add yourself.
Your comprehension of replies is low, as evidenced by your responses. Automatically reaching for putdowns is not an argument.

Oh BTW Jerry, this is Geoff’s voodoo snake oil site, you should find some you don’t have, maybe, you two should get on like a house on fire.
The only person who loses here is you. If only you could see how your inane thinking is showcased in every comment.
In the end it shows how absurd you are...

I firmly believe that pleasure should be the primary factor in deciding how lovers of pure sound reproduction should spend their money...
An excellent point, and one that we should all reflect on...
Some things I have bought, there is no doubt to the improvement, and no doubt as to why.

Interconnects.
Power cables.
Speakers.
DAC mods, and improved power supply.
Equipment isolation.
Cleaning up the power.
Jitter control, USB-S/PDIF converter, re-clocking.

Some others that I’ve added have made a difference, both small and not so small.
People with no experience of these will not change my experiences, my sound improvements, or my system. I will continue telling others of the benefits.

You are making this personal. I’m not heckling.
You are acting like a bully. I don’t like bullies.
Just stop it.

And you really need to research the meaning of words before you use them.
When I state my observations (as encouraged in this forum), that is in no way heckling.

That’s more in your line anyway...
