Mainly Synergistic Research RED and ORANGE fuses in all mains plugs and internal casework. I haven’t tried the SR PURPLE and MASTER fuses, but I feel that the RED’s and ORANGES in my system provide a nice “uptick” in sound quality, but then I like to think I am open-minded and willing to entertain controversial concepts in the quest for improved system performance.
Yes. I like my “foo” but appreciate that it’s not for everyone and should only be investigated, once the system basics are sorted!
Thanks for sharing
I think you get the horn after the divorce!
After hearing Steve’s system I decided I needed cable lifters in my life. You’ll probably be surprised to learn, I made them myself.
My fuses are made from braided Kit Kat wrappers.
They are transparent and chocolatey in tone. They can become a little fatiguing, but you just have a break.
I favour the 100A nail. Or at a pinch the 50A paperclip. Though last time I tried that, the fuse wasn’t the problem and I melted a toroid!
The smell was horrific
Hahaha! Mad Scientist Black Nano Discs - They were freebies from this website Best sales - Mad Scientist Audio
Do they make any difference to the sound? None that I could detect, but neither do they do any harm and didn’t cost anything!
As for the power cables, the biamping experiment was basically jerry-rigged. Had it showed serious promise, I would, of course, used “serious” audiophool power cables in the final set-up!
Love the sea lion power cable by the way!
Temporary pass granted - be careful out there
You asked about a Bake-Off in a previous post!
I usually host two a year, in the summer and autumn.
Here are some photos from my last BO, held on Sunday 1st October 2023, when sixteen Wammers and a couple of “plus ones” attended.
They must be popular, because one couple travelled down from Yorkshire, staying overnight in a nearby hostelry and taking in the charms of Winchester, prior to attending my BO the following day!
Others came from as far afield as Rugby, West Midlands , Bristol and Cornwall!
I’ll be sure to post details on this forum, when my next one is due to be held, for any that want to enjoy a social in semi-rural Hampshire.
Nice to see a few familiar faces there.
This is catnip for the post hifi AA man (for whom foo has been extended to every facet of life.)
For example:
Here is an AA weekender - You will note no hifi (that gets plonked in a corner)
Not fogetting the failed repelling of the theiving bastard Brownies.
Tried many, beginning with pair of Devialet ‘s ended with big Mcintosh muscle amps.
Where did you get the pork pies from? They look substantial
So, either your set-up has completely changed from last October, or the kit in the bake-off pics was brought along by the guests?
Btw, I’m having a bake-off a week Saturday (Jan 20th) If you’d like to join in, you’d be very welcome (postcode NR20)
