Its funny how nobody talks about the fact that system upgrades are all relative.
Replacing a fuse in a garbage amplifier made of 6 wires and radio shack components will do little. But removing a radio shack fuse made of junk metal in a $40k Kondo amp will free an incredibly weak link in an otherwise transparent system. Its like washing a filty dirty window in a Ferrari will cut your lap times in half because now you can confidently drive extremely fast, while the guy in a broken down wishy washy honda says "What kind of person claims that cleaning their window makes them cut their lap times in half?" because no matter how hard he drives, the car will only go 1 second faster to begin with.
This goes for differences in system noise, poor power, etc.
When people come here and speak with such objective certainty about components...makes me wonder.
