willcycle. Thanks. Please see above post. 
FUSES, Finally!?
cal9127  I am not instigating, per se, but I was looking for a spontaneous answer (just received from willcycle), that for the method I had used to determine that on my amps, which have one computer chip per channel that regulates the power supply... 
FUSES, Finally!?
The main reason I have been such a fuse skeptic is that I assumed the fuses were not in the audio path.  The ones in my amps certainly do not seem to be.  I did used to use in line speaker wire fuses for my Phase Linear 400 powered Advents, but th... 
FUSES, Finally!?
mrdecibel    Good advice; however, for me I wonder if resonance is an issue when my speakers are not in the room with my electronics or sources.  It can't hurt to try.  BTW, everyone:  An ohmmeter on the two fuse clamps, and some turning of the fu... 
FUSES, Finally!?
I did not find Georgie to be so demeaning.  I agree with him, and have already done what he suggested, more tahn once over the years.  For other skeptics, google, The Skeptic magazine's article, Audiophoolery.  One of my favorite heretical stateme... 
FUSES, Finally!?
I guess what I need is a minimal amount of money for four fuses to cover one channel of my six.  If even a relatively cheaper fuse makes a difference, I could go to more expensive ones, but I need four to start.  That is $600, now.  I would do som...

millercarbon  I appreciate all replies, but to millercarbon:  What part of, I don't want to buy 24 $150 fuses to see if they work did you not get? 
Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS"
Interesting goodies!  I wonder what those ads cost to buy. 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
Most speakers of low sensitivity have more elaborate crossovers to even out the frequency response.  It is just an engineering tradeoff, but since more power is needed, anyway, better drivers, also of low sensitivity can be used.  When I switched ... 
What did your system look like 30 years ago?
How about in the late 1970's?  Philips turntable, Shure V-15, PhaseLinear 400, stacked wood Advents, Kenwood tuner.  1979:  Kenwood marble TT and SME arm replaced Philips.  Forty years ago:  The same amp and pre-amp brand I have now (Audire), but ... 
Does Age Matter?
Most older people grew up with vinyl.  Most younger people had no access to it.  Jeez!  i just showed a 26 year old a 45 RPM record.  His response, "Is that an eight track?"  
Can flexible power cables sound good?
Have you tried silver coated, aluminum buses?   Only use copper nuts and bolts. 
What kind of listening chair
You\r chair people need to buy my, natural, organic, rubber coasters to isolate the chair from the floor.  I have two models, one for turntables, and one for CD's  We are working on a streaming one.  When ordering for a turntable, please specify w... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
What is up with millercabon's post about communists, and calling us sheepies.  Is he being facetious, or is he really disturbed?  Did he just return from the failed coup? 
Speaker upgrade
romney80   I just saw you r response to my statement.  I did not mean to state my opinion as an absolute guide to follow.  To be more clear, since so many places no longer have actual stereo stores, I believe we must take others' listening opinion...
