What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
Of course, an audiophile fuse is not just a "straight wire." It's a straight wire within a sheath. I have to wonder if it is that interaction - wire in a very unusual sheath - that is involved in the sound results. Just for starters the fuse wire,... 
Has this ever happened to you?
Speaking of native, internal coding; recent geopolitical events have probably been rearranging things in such a manner that it is effecting musical appreciation as well - for better or for worse depending on how an individual's orientation has bee... 
Has this ever happened to you?
It took me awhile to appreciate how much a lengthy break-in period is necessary before making any rash decisions.

Amperex AU7 NOS "Bugle Boy" if you can find them with enough life left in them. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=amperex+NOS++AU7+Bugle+Boy&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_odkw=amperex+NOS+Bugle+Boy&_osacat=0  
Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.
The Carpenters were that kind of group that many of my friends wanted to shun because they were a bit kitschy, but many of them finally caved pleading, in effect, that even tough guys need a puppy; and it didn't hurt that the puppy could croon lik... 
Power conditioners and power regeneration
I notice the Stromtank uses lithium-iron-phospate batteries. Does this mean it has to be 50ft. from flammable structures when charging as with EV's in some jurisdictions?  
There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art
Whenever I attend a live musical performance I always find myself wondering what the performance sounds like to the musicians on stage and especially so when there are a lot of musicians on stage. They are often hemmed in by nearby musicians and t... 
HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
If I ever stop dreaming, you will know that I have died.  
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Divorce is like adjusting gain.  
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
Once the ganfet amps came in the door cabling in general became much more of an audible factor for me.  
Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
My listening living room has one feature that throws another wrench into the equation - adjustable sidewall "vanes" in the form of adjustable room window/door slats - the old fashioned wooden slats that can be angularly adjusted with the pull of a... 
Time of Day for best Sound
We are regarding the state of our neural circuitry to be part and parcel of our sound system, right? If not, it’s high time we did. This is how many of our favorite musicians operated.  
Time of Day for best Sound
Of course, what strain of cannapacitors you are using has its effect on sound too.  
Time of Day for best Sound
As my system has become more hi-fi it seems to have mostly overruled vagaries in the electric grid. I used to specify late night listening for maximum music, but now I often find that even high demand periods like dinner time can sound very good e... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
Let's assume for a moment that we know what the "filler" is in an Audiomagic M2 fuse. Some rumor that it is graphene loaded beeswax. Can anyone here scientifically speculate about the effects thereof? I know how the fuse sounds, but how would it ...
