The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
No  
Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"?
Just not for me - too much$$, not UL rated. georgehifi was suspended over these discussions🙃  
Sub Decision
I was impressed how good  Rythmik Sounded recently. Much more affordable than REL. Even consider SVS, I like the 3000. Not the Pro version which is ported!  
Phono 1:1 Input Transformers - info sought...
I would agree with lewm. Believe they are using the transformer to convert to a balance signal which would help to reduce noise on long cable runs or provide a balanced input to your preamplifier if that is all your preamp has. I have not looked a... 
Lansche plasma tweeter replacement every 5000 hours.
Thanks for the info on massless. I have asthma so ozone affects my ability to breathe well.🙃

Vfet / SIT Amplifiers
Sony and Yamaha Vfet's are still my favorite amplifiers after all of these years. Trying to keep my B-2 running for the next generations! Just wondering if anyone has compared any other V-fet amps to the B-2x?

Sorry, no break in needed for power cables. Other audio equipment yes but AC power cables absolutely not.🙃  
Used amps, how to tell if,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Maybe OP means Magnepan 1.7? What amplifier are you currently using? Many good 200 watt/channel amps are available. Mark Levinsons are great amplifiers but overpriced for your budget. How about more info on your listening preferences and room size.  
Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL
SVS is okay but how about Funk Audio? They make several models. http://www.funkaudio.ca/store/p13/Funk_Audio_-_18.0E.html    
Interesting comment on Bose Speakers.....
I put together a nice system for a friend and it got stolen. He replaced it with a Bose system; We are now no longer friends.   
Resistors
I'm answering for OP - Of course NOT. Resistors are never used as fuses, how he thought they were, is beyond me!

Hope you like to breathe ozone. Not ME!  
90% loss of one speaker volume.
Well, guess you can't do it yourself. Thanks for the info, good for other Ohm users.
