Whatever happened to...?
" Whatever happened to...?" is a very cheap way to get attention. I wished the question has more meat in it than a nostalgic thought.  
Lawsuits over "dots"
This is one of the most confusing question asked on this forum. If you have an agenda against Synergistic Research, please state so. 
Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!)
danvignau, have you tried after market fuses at all? You may want to try some and do more about power conditioning. Referring to your post there, big caps is just quantity, not quality.

Gbmcleod,>> That's how I do upgrades these days: whatever I buy, I have to sell something that gets me back 75% of my financial output for an upgrade. I'm running out of things to sell..I wonder how long you can do that, taking into account ... 
Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power
>>As much as I like audio I'm not going to spend 10k on power conditioningSure, you in your current situation. A couple years ago, I could not even image to spend a couple grand for a power cord and here I am.If you can not hear the differen... 
Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable
Otto (Yu11375) many have tried to help you, I think it is high time you report back with your experience about the Venustas. I see so many OP open a new thread and other chime, the OP leaves every body in the dark with his experience, so just aski... 
Alternative PC for Audience Adept Response AR12T
/Raks: I also wondered why Audience would not bring out the AU24e as they, after all, had the powerChord e PC released a while back; and certainly as they are now onto the SE versions for ICs. But alas their sales department did not give any hope ... 
DC issues using a Krell KSA 150 w/ tubed preamp?
Thanks Atmasphere and Hifigeek1 for your comments. I have/ had most of the CJ preamps starting from PV5 till the CT-5 and a bunch of SS and tube gear and only the CT-5 had this issue, in fact, that was the only one. Ed is indeed a very pleasant gu... 
Alternative PC for Audience Adept Response AR12T
Thanks Airegin as I was looking for its price but could not find it any where. One would assume there is the AU24e PC as the IC and SC are available in this version.David, do you mean the KBS Elation PC is much better than the AU24 or the powerCho... 
DC issues using a Krell KSA 150 w/ tubed preamp?
Hifigeek1: what brand were the film caps in your Premier 140? Did your tech report that the faulty origin was indeed the cap? My preamp was a CT-5 and luckily that was still under warranty. Should I worry for my LP140s? 
DC issues using a Krell KSA 150 w/ tubed preamp?
Not true Atmasphere, your amps may be of a better quality but I experienced a reasonably high DC offset on a modern preamp that retailed 8 grand; the coupling cap was indeed the culprit. So always measure with a VOC meter which can be had under 20... 
Krell KSA 250 – rustling on one channel
Amusebouche: So how was the technical issue corrected? It would help others with your experience and if I may say so, show some respect to all those who tried to help you. Too many threads for help are not "closed" by the OP. 
Nordost Valhalla Power Cords
Bo, I appreciate your candid comments (Jouw mening is duidelijk, maar je hoeft deze niet meermaals te herhalen). I have been using NordOst in most of my systems and yes they do blend well with tube based systems.Before going Odin (or more Valhalla... 
Modding the Conrad Johnson PV12
Thanks guys for the quick responses! Will let you know how it turns out. Can I assume the same rationale (power supply mod) applies to the modern CT-5? Am on the lookout for an ACT2 Series 2 as the next upgrade but as they rarely come up for sale,... 
Nordost Valhalla Power Cords
Bo thanks a ton for your very valuable comments, tack så mycket! What is your experience with the loom theory in power cables? I tried an all Audience powerChord/AU24 setup in conjunction with an AdeptResponse 12T but wasnt thrilled (it lacked res...
