| iFi AC iPurifier I have one plugged into each of my dedicated lines at the wall. I noticed a significant increase in detail, space and bass extension/definition in a system that has fairly heroic ac conditioning, including a brace of QV2s and a QK1. They work for ... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers This is my first day (and night) listening to my system and speakers via the Isoacoustics Gaia IIIs. My speakers are extremely modest compared to the rest of my system since I've always been a "great speakers can't fix what's messed up in a previ... | |
| Experience with Bluesound Node 2 use with external DAC I bought a Node 2 primarily for streaming Tidal Masters. The internal DAC doing full MQA decode is very smooth and non-fatiguing, though less incisive than playing the first "unfolding" through my Bel Canto 3.7 via S/PDIF. As others have mentioned... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The SR Black fuses and the Black outlets make my system sound way better. If offered a full refund in exchange for surrendering these items after lo these many months, I would respectfully decline. Ain't nobody's business but my own.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Something I find interesting about this thread is that I can't recall a single poster being an all-Synergistic, all-the-time fan boy. A few notables here use Synergistic power cords (and I have one in my system for my REL sub), but it seems that m... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I completely concur with backgroundblur's assessment of the Black fuses. So well said.As I peck this out, I'm enjoying Bruce Cockburn's Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws AIFF CD rip. Enveloping. Stunning bass... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... In my experience, the Black fuses are not so much inherently directional as they are initially directional. In this regard, I'm interested in anyone's opinion on the matter, but only those with actual in-depth listening experience. Despite the cav... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... My fuse saga began several years ago when I tried and liked the Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuses in my Primaluna mono blocks. Later, I bought my first Synergistic Black fuse out of curiosity and after having had favorable experience with other of their ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have eight Black fuses in my system. I had one that was rated at the stock size blow upon power up. I got a free replacement, but went up to the next higher rating and have had absolutely no problems. Since then I have modestly up-rated the Blac... | |
| Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound I agree with mcroth. I don't think the Oppo can access the higher res Tidal MQA info. MQA argue that their un-decoded files in the standard FLAC wrapper will sound better than Redbook 16/44, but I have not been able to discern that by listening. | |
| Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound Kalali said: "You may want to try bypassing the Bel Canto and see/hear if those same contents sound better."The fully decoded analog output of the Bluesound Node 2 is quite pleasant and a screaming deal for a $500 streamer-DAC, but it is not up t... | |
| Quick How to Stream MQA via Tidal to Bluesound I'm using a Bluesound Node 2 into a Bel Canto DAC 3.7 via SPDIF and I'm getting either 88.2 or 96 kHz on most Tidal MQA material. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I have Herbie's products throughout my system. Outstanding and very reasonably priced for the performance improvement they deliver. Customer service is amazing too! | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wow. We did what couldn't otherwise be done.Killed the thread.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... +1 on Hampton Hawes! |
