Luckily I can get my musical jollies by playing great music on a great instrument with a good bow! I'll just have to trust that people who don't play themselves will go out of their way to hear what I have to play (if I still can by that time).Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-61011088793456160402014-01-04T21:19:06.313+00:002014-01-04T21:19:06.313+00:00ACD, rest assured that you are not the only one wh...ACD, rest assured that you are not the only one who had never even considered the fuse as a factor in the accuracy of classical music reproduction,<br /><br />Incidentally, those open minded enough not to dismiss this thread as twaddle should note that Synergistic Research Quantum fuses are sold with a a 30-day no risk money back guarantee.

Once mentioned by you, it made perfect sense to me and I agree with it as well even out of hand. It blew my mind because I can't believe I never even considered the fuse as a factor in the accuracy of classical music reproduction before.<br /><br />ACD<br />A.C.

Never would I have guessed that the fuse was a critical factor in this business.<br /><br />However, you've omitted a factor that's of cardinal — critical — importance in the accuracy of classical music reproduction: the acoustic of the listening room. If that factor isn't what it should be, all else is largely for naught (largely, but not, of course, entirely). I know this because in much earlier days (but hardly at all today as I now live in an apartment that makes using loudspeakers an impossibility) I, too, was a devoted audiophile — Thorens TD125, SME arm, Decca cartridge, Quad (aka, Acoustical Manufacturing Co. Ltd., later changed to QUAD Electroacoustics Ltd.) electronics (amplifiers, control unit, tuner), Quad full-range electrostatic loudspeakers (ESL63), and a specially designed for use with Quad ESLs subwoofer, etc., etc., etc. — and spent untold days (and nights) designing and testing my listening room until I'd made it everything it should be. No easy task, I can assure you, and appallingly expensive. That notwithstanding, it was all well worth the trouble, and in spades. I can assure you of that as well.<br /><br />--<br />ACD<br />http://www.soundsandfury.com/A.C. Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090447201234367871noreply@blogger.com
