Hegel fuse holder
Ok, got the SR Orange in. What's the deal with the grey charcoal looking circle in the middle that they tell you not to remove?I think I have it in the right way with SR facing left to right when inserted.

I imagine they’ve got good stuff. Started with Bybee QSE, then an iQSE, then quantum Clarifiers in my speakers. Anyway, those tweaks are so good, it’s hard to go back.

Got it! These things are gonna come out with tweezers...they sure don’t make this easy

That’s where I’m at - small flathead screwdriver, maybe a penny. I want to try out the SR orange fuse, just worried I’ll crack the plastic open and then really be screwed. 
Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS"
@teajay I have no doubt the Coda is likely beating the Hegel in some areas. The Hegel has surprised me though with how satisfying it has been compared to other integrated amps, but I get the feeling that Coda is just in another league of performan...

@teajay ok thanks! I emailed the owner at Kirmuss directly. He did mention, as you say, that 12’ is optimal, although he was willing to go down to 8’. I saw Mike Wright has a Silversmith Fidelium review coming soon. Those are my current reference,...

Suncoast Audio experience
Old thread, but wanted to get some opinions on Suncoast, because it’s been very odd communication with Mike. I put an order in online on the 1st, got notification it shipped out on the 4th, but no tracking info. I call the store the next day, Mike... 
Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....
Raven and Audio Envy are both very good, same with Wireworld Electra 7.
