Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue
@clearthinker This is America with free speech.  You are welcome to your opinion and you are welcome to state it as often as you wish. But your assessment of power cords is wrong and I hope you stick by what you said and make the above the last ti...

FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound
@mastering92 I take it you don't really believe this and are just stirring the pot.  
FUSE BOX delivers perfect protection and superior sound
@asvjerry  Fuses are there to protect equipment.  Sometimes fuses blow from equipment failure and they prevent other equipment from failing, for example, they protect expensive output transformers.  More often, fuses blow due to human errors and...
