    Nordost Valhalla 2 and Furutech NFC

    I have experience in the retermination of the first Valhalla and Odin. These cables sounded better with the Oyaide F1/M1, but not with the Furutech-50. I changed Furu to NCF and the result was not impressive. Although the bass beat is bigger with NCF, but they lack musicality and air.

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    I haven't used a Mac without a platform for a long time. But I came to the conclusion that it was worth the money spent. Also Mac is very comfortable on this platform))

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    I found an amazing place in my system for CS2M 1.0 for Mac Mini (Mojo full upgrade). Mac only works with Roon Core, but CS have made a dramatic improvement in streaming. ps. Tested with Stillpoints Ultra SS and SR SX mig.

    Who’s up for a $2800 fuse?

    I had the same problem with the SR explosion on the amps. I expect that QSA Analog fuse should work more reliably due to a different design. The QSA Analog has a spring conductor, as do the stock fuses of my amplifiers. Tsang (QSA) thinks the same way.

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    Thank you for your experience. My system with QSA Yellow/Violet/Red fuses shows a similar result. Now in the process of ordering sockets and fuses 51mm for dedicated lines. In what place should I make a priority in your opinion? Sockets vs. dedicated fuses?

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    Yes, I used CS for more than 7 days with the SR base turned off and more than 7 days with the SR base turned on. The ON Base and CS gave a cumulative positive effect.

    QSA : My take on their expensive products

    I changed more than half of the SR Orange fuses in the system to QSA Yellow/Violet with a big improvement. They are worth the price. It is very economical than replacing the power cable. To my ears, replacing SR Orange -> QSA Violet gives possibly more improvements than replacing SR Euphoria AC...

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    We can't treat our audio addiction! There is a danger of turning a pleasant addiction into alcoholism)) Addition: I am testing on TAOC ASRII racks with SR Bases. The new result with the Esoteric G-01 - CS2M watch is the absolute top! In all my CMS tests to date: the initial positive effect...

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    I previously asked a question about CMS compatibility with Synergistic Research Base. After much experimentation, I'm thinking about full compatibility and complementarity! Great! To date, the results have been obtained in my system (each component was seated for more than 10 days): DAC...

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    Thank you Joe)) I need some advice again. I made the first comparison of CS2M 1.0 for Lumin U1. Let me remind you that I use a Synergistic Base on TAOC racks. I got the following results: 1. SR Base is active (connected to DC and Ground) - the sound is slightly improved compared to the...

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    Today I removed Stillpoints Ultra SS under the Classe monoblocks and installed CMS2 1.5. After a minute, the sound of my system was transformed in all aspects. Absolutely everything! It's my birthday in a week, and I'm waiting for another gift from these devices)) My CMS 2M 1.0 is waiting in the...

    Introducing Center Stage 2M

    I use TAOC ASR racks and Synergistic Research Tranquility Base for each component (except for monoblocks). I bought CS2 1.5 and CS2M 1.0. Should I remove SR Bases before testing? Is there any real CS experience on SR platforms?
