Fuses fuses fuses
I don’t want to put words in Ralph’s mouth, either, but I’m pretty sure he’s not really on board the whole fuse directionality train. His argument is (and I suppose he could possibly be accused of fence sitting on fuse directionality) that when...

The stock mat is too soft in my opinion.

Class D is just Dandy!

2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K
@blindjim I think you can get into a set of Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T3 for the budget you've mentioned.The speakers are easy to set up in most rooms. I have them about 6 inches from the wall behind them and they image very nicely. You don...

XLR Question

A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE
@whart I know it is grounded now, but will hum unless I lift the ground. I do have a decent meter and will poke around without opening up the units. That suggests that the audio and chassis are the same thing FWIW...@lowrider57 Two questions; wil...
