Synergistic Research SR Orange Fuse snake oil ?
MarkusBarkus replied to R1200CL's topic in Objective-Fi
...sounds more like the Third Law of Marketing: There's a Sucker Born Every Minute. I think if one wanted to try a more edge-case approach, some of the pastes/liquids that improve conductivity would be a better experiment. -
Optical Network Configurations
MarkusBarkus replied to jabbr's topic in Networking, Networked Audio, and Streaming
I am one of those posters, and I think it is A-OK with Multi-Mode fiber. I began with a basic 10Gtek MM set-up. I changed some things, and as posted previously, I am on Single Mode because it was the last I tested. Cable is cheap, so I pulled MM and SM cable for 35' run. IMO a lot of what we dabble with very likely has theoretical differences, but practically, it might be hard to hear. That said, I have done things based on theoretical positions that I have not always been consistently able to discern as being different. And my system is revealing, IMO. I am 10 -

Purchased by me new 9/20. Cable is "as new" and a great choice for USB cables. 40 cm. = $225.00 I used, and loved, these cables in and out of my Innuos Phoenix. I am selling only because I bought an Extreme and my equipment layout has changed. These cables are now too short for me. No way around it. Massive savings (check shipping!) on great cables. CONUS only, please. You pay PP fees and I'll ship 'em.225.00 USD

How Do I Keep My Apartment Neighbor From Hearing My Subwoofer?
MarkusBarkus replied to intothedragon's topic in General Forum
Yes, a good option, but can be a little pricey option. My note was getting too long, so I ended before noting I use the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers on my Revel speakers, and they work very well. Good Luck! -
How Do I Keep My Apartment Neighbor From Hearing My Subwoofer?
MarkusBarkus replied to intothedragon's topic in General Forum
Sorry I didn't chime in sooner, but I use the EVP "footers" under one of my REL subs, to good effect: https://avroomservice.com/evp-2/ I don't use them for neighborly relations, but to help with sound/vibration within the room. There is a white paper and other info (link above), if you're interested. I used the "Morph the Cat" (Donald Fagan) and the "Xanny" (Billy Eilish) test for base handling. Prior to the EVPs, my subs would "walk" with these tracks and a little volume! It's not the music I typically listen to, but it has poop-your-pants bass for testing -

Grateful Dead - the Most Overrated Band Ever?
MarkusBarkus replied to sphinxsix's topic in General Forum
I have a strict testing regime when it comes to Scotch. I'm trying to find one I don't like. BTW: with regards to GD, I was born in the 50s, remember what I was doing when Kennedy was shot, registered for the draft, etc....and (I) think the Dead suck. Still. Is that too harsh? Not everyone in the 60s/70s was tuned in to rock. Many folks were feeling the social messaging of Marvin Gaye, Funkadelic and groups of that vibe. I sure was. I grew up in a mid-size city NE US and my reality was so removed from what I perceived the Dead to be about it was completely alien. U -
5000 songs x 4 minutes = 20,000 minutes. 20,000 minutes / 60 minutes = 333.33333 hours 333.33333 hours / 24 hours = 13.9 days IMO a playlist that lasts for two weeks, give or take, is a big ask if you're not the only one asking. This is really an archive of memories and emotions, and I completely understand why anyone would want one. I want one. It's just a big ask technically, IMO, sir...
