Have you ever wondered who sets the trends in the hi-end speaker industry?
Did you notice that kenjit is conspiciously absent from this thread? OP is kenjit twin. 
Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China.
Most stuffs including speakers are made in China. I would say 90% of stuffs at Walmart probably made in China. Also it’s interesting OP thinks $10K speakers are a bargain :-) It’s a rather basic three way with two bass drivers, probably 4th order ... 
Big source improvement using CD player
If you're into streaming, I would much recommend a USB DAC so you can either stream or playing from your PC.  For your budget, I would recommend the Ayre QB9 DSD used.

This thread is going well.  By the way, Biden and Trump are close to their 80's, so this country is probably for old men.   
Need speaker cable
I used to have Blue Jeans cable and interconnects and for the price I was generally satisfied.  I then I bought some fairly basic QED cables for not that much more than what I paid for Blue Jeans, and there was a marked improvement in transparency...

Canare seems to be a bit like Home Depot wire repackaged as speaker cables if I am not mistaken.  In some way, the same goes for Blue Jean cables.

I would recommend QED SIGNATURE Genesis Silver Spiral. They are a little expensive when new, but you could get them for about $600 used for a pair. https://www.qed.co.uk/qed-genesis-silver-spiral-cable.html

The difference here is I never made any claim of any study with respect to power cable listening test.If Mr. Geoffkait made such a claim, then he should be responsible for producing a proof of that. 
Directionality Explained
I won't so far as to say fuse does not make any difference.  We know that power cables do make a difference, so by extension, fuses should make a difference since it's in the power path just like the power cables.My only beef was the claim that th...

That's my point.  I couldn't find any mention of a listening test that correlated the fuse direction or fuse resistance. 
Directionality Explained
My point was the posted link did not say anything about listening test vs. the fuse directionality.  Maybe I got some problem reading the link, but I couldn't find any.  If you've found any mention of it , please feel free to post here.

You must be rather gullible if you believe whatever I cut and pasted at this point in time Damn!  I feel bad for your customers.  They are all gullible.

I wonder how hard it is to copy and paste some text here :-)  Or maybe it does not exist.

Go find it yourself! I found none.  Couldn't find it.  Copy and paste it here or it didn't happen.

listening tests reveled larger differences in sound quality than could be explained by the differences in resistance. I mean, come on, guys, all audio circuits are AC. The resistance is not necessarily the reason why sound is different according...
