Linda Ronstadt's version of "Good Bye" on the What's New album. Han's Theesink's version of "A Hundred and Ten In the Shade" on the Songs From the Southland album. Jerry Garcia's version of "Two Soldiers" on the Jerry Garcia/David Grisman album ... 
Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?

Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
@audphile1  Paul McGowan On Audiophile Fuses Paul of PS Audio describes his astonishment at what a difference audiophile fuses made in his system. His first experience was a blind test during which he didn't even know what the tweak was. We also...

Looking for 5AR4 rectifier tube most like solid state
There is no better generator of PRAT than cannabis - in my experience. Even better - it can be "tube rolled’ by variety. This is, in effect, a modification of circuitry.  
It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You?
The Philips CD clamp in my Jay's Audio CDT3 MK3 probably has enough mass already to achieve a "flywheel effect."

Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?
@jjj666 "Ahem...changing the toe-in (or lack thereof) of your speakers can greatly impact treble. Give it a try before lightening the wallet with multi-colored unidirectional fuses." Believe it or not, there is a very high probability that most ... 
My Goodness!
@tablejocky There you go.
