Iso Clean Fuses
Good point about the thin, tin wire construction of a cheap fuse. However, fuses are rated for current flow. If the rating is exceeded, the fuse blows. I think manufacturers specify the current rating of the fuse based on the demands of the equipm... 
How much does your system retail for?
Ahhh, that was what it cost.

Do any high-end manufacturers equip their amps, pre-amps, tuners, or cd players with these fuses? I would be interested to hear what an actual professional electronics designer for a high-end audio manufacturer has to say about these fuses. I am n...

Well recorded records ... what are your picks?

Directionality in a fuse makes me wonder if it has diode-like properties. Otherwise, how could you explain directionality? Does it have shielding that is grounded only on one side like interconnect that thus makes it "directional." If so, I doubt ... 
Well recorded records ... what are your picks?
I completely agree with you Ehaller!Incidentally, I haven't listened to Jumping Jive in a while. The music is fun and great. I forgot how the recording is -- I'll listen soon and report. But if the recording is as good as the music, it is definite...

Bondmanp, you are absolutely write about Body and Soul! I particularly like "Heart of Ice." I love how it builds up from a whisper into a melodic, dynamic crescendo.Fantastic pick! 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
By the way, Jimpcn, I did take another look just now at your earlier posts. I see where I was misled. At one point, 3-05-2009 I believe, you said that you and your friends have more than $10k invested in turntables. And you repeatedly mention how ...

Thanks, Jimpcn!(2005 does look like a good year for the audio journal, though.) 
How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ???
Dear Jimpcn, Thank you for correcting which issue of Audioxpress your pre-amp came from. I was wondering about the issue you originally cited because the closest article that I could find that made sense from Oct. 2005 was, "Design a High-Performa... 
Well recorded records ... what are your picks?
Hi Almandog, right on! Actually, I kick myself for not picking up a copy of Brothers in Arms when lp's were cheap and plentiful! The title track alone is excellent and I think must sound great on lp. I only have the cd, unfortunately.Thanks for th...

Hi Jimpcn,The Dynavector XV-1s does not sound like a laid-back cartridge, based on the reviews. The reviews portray it as dynamic and incredible in its imaging capabilities.I recall the Dynalabs as great tuners when I worked in audio. I never took...
