No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
@secretguy , So because it didn't improve your system, it can't possibly work for anyone else? Huh. Honestly, an audiophile fuse in my preamp was one of my best/cheapest upgrades.

@wolf_garcia , well, at least you've tried one. I'm curious how many naysayers in this thread have actually TRIED an audiophile grade fuse. Probably in the neighborhood of 10%, I'd guess. I do find it interesting that some people (myself include... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
ASR....lol. Right.

Use your ears.

I have (and swear by) SR fuses. I currently use Purples and Oranges in almost all my components. I've not heard the new Pink one, though. That being said, I would imagine the higher end your equipment, the better match the more expensive models ... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@laoman  Lots of people have purchased them. I have a pair of Enzo XL's (though they are currently in storage). I purchased them because I wanted a custom color (in my case, "Frog Green"), the unique design, the price and the front ports on the s... 
Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
@rolox , +1. It does get old after awhile, doesn't it?  In any event,  @toddcowles , give the new cables a shot and see where it gets you. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised.    
Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
The audio chain is only as strong as its' weakest link. While I wouldn't say cables are a tone control, they certainly have a bearing on the overall projected sound. If you have nice gear, crappy cables can stand out like a sore thumb.  
Extra sets of Cables to switch up system?
I keep a couple of different sets of cables. I'm happy with what's in there, but every once in a while, or if I get a new piece of gear, I'll swap things around. Usually I end up exactly where I am currently am, but it's nice to hear the differenc...

Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
So much Tekton hate on here. It's unfortunate. I own a pair, btw....They're well worth the cost, but in the end, I outgrew them and moved on. I certainly think they're worth their asking price. I just chose to go in a different sonic direction.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Everyone has a certain sound signature that they prefer. If you prefer Tekton's sound, go for it. If you prefer to purchase a speaker based on a Stereophile review, that's your choice as well.  
The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change
I've been pretty happy for about a year with my current system. Took a lot of experimentation to get there, though.  
At what point do you...
I buy used/open box/refurbished when it's about 50% or more off retail. Case in point: I bought a Yamaha CDS2100 for $1499 refurbished with a 3 year warranty from a reputable online shop.  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
Dude, you must really think you're important. You're not. STFU already. It's beyond obnoxious.
