Amp with best bass control
Actually my Berning ZH 270 has the best bass of any amp I have ever heard ss or tube. I do not even need my sub with my Maggie 3.6's with this amp Deep, fast and just real sounding.Alan

Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$
I have the Mytek Stereo 192 DSD Dac. $1595. This is the best dac I have ever heard but I have not heard the Berkely. It has both analog and digital volume control so you can go straight into a power amp or bypass the volumn controls and go into a ... 
Subbing a 8 amp fuse in for a 1amp fuse in PS/Dac
You will defeat the purpose of the fuse. 8 amps will offer no protection if there is a problem and you will lose your dac. Don't do itAlan

Horrible early stereo mix
Many early masters are 3 or 4 track which make it impossible to do what you want. It wasn't until 8 track and 16 track came along which allowed placing each instrument on a separate track that allowed for placement of a track anywhere in the stere... 
Firing up old tube amps. Should I worry?

The absolute "best" filter/conditioner for digital
If you want something inexpensive Emotiva has a nice RFI filter with 6 outlets for about $120. Works very good in my system. They also have a two outlet for $99 for power amps. It does not seem to harm dynamics at all and it also besides filtering...
