fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
The hi-fi tuning fuses do improve the sound "if you can hear"!! and I agree with others who have said if you spend $500 to $1000 on interconnects and powercords $39 for a fuse is not unreasonable. Folks spend quite a bit more on equipment upgrades...

Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it
I would agree with Hdm almost totally. At this point in the game it would not be very cost effective for you to try to get back into vinyl, in fact it would be quite expensive.(That is if you are talking about quality vinyl playback)But who said t... 
Am I Bad Listener?
Aside from having the critical listening syndrome, which I've acquired as well, I think you also have developed what most audiophiles( not music lovers)have and that is chasing the elusive "absolute sound" Which basically means you'll never be sat...
