Oppo Ceasing production
I've got to plug Marston Records.  Ward Marston (world famous remastering engineer for 78s) has a small company which limits CD production to 1000 units each with very extensive research booklets.  He sells CDs at $18 each.  They generally consist... 
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
The Legacy Focuses can be had for about $2200 to $2500 a pair.  They are 97 db efficient but need good current (no SETs) as they dip below 3 ohms in the bass. They also need a big room (at least 15' X 20').  They currently sell for $13,000 "update... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
madavid0.   Yes there is a no questions asked 30 trial period.          I’m sure they can pass a double blind test since my wife could tell the difference (huge) without me informing her of what I was doing.   I doubt they are carcinogenic.  Don’t... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
fazeeI don't know why TC would work on acoustic resonators.  Did you want to use it to attach to objects or around the sides of the HFTs?  Certainly don't put it into the resonating chamber which would block its' function.  The HFTs don't operate ... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I paid full price and am using it throughout my main audio system.  Adds bass, depth and richer mid-range to the sound.  I also have 32 HFTs, Blackbox and Atmosphere XL4.   Pending pasting my video system.  
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
I have a secret from Mr. Record.  Pressed commercial CDs can sound significantly different from one another, even if made at the same pressing plant.  We have found multiple copies that include hotter and less dynamic sound, warmer or cooler sound...

No OP is correct and you madavid0 are incorrect.  The little pieces of metal make a huge difference in the room acoustics.  By any chance, do you also believe fuse quality makes no sonic difference? How about vibration control devices, tube dampen... 
I'm not dreaming - these are great CD copies
My experience burning 10,000s of CDRs for musicians (masters and copies) on an Alesis Masterlink has been that occasionally, the CDRs will sound better than the original pressed CD.  Generally, they sound the same.  I've only used TY and Mam-A Gol... 
Synergistic Research HFT's
Glory. I just read up on ASI sugar cubes.   Wow, their placement would really drive me crazy.  They maybe a very effective room treatment but I’ll stick to the easier SR HFT system despite the higher price.  I just lose patience after a while of t... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
I don't know the vintage of the new Littlefuse and Buss fuse.  They may have been several years old sitting in my drawer.  I'm sure you will say that they should have been newly made to sound better.  You'll write anything to discredit me.

Yes, I tried it in both directions and neither sounded good.  Maybe if I applied some Total Contact it would have sounded better but why waste a good product on a mediocre product (mediocre for audio purposes, excellent for electrical safety purpo... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
As to new or old stock fuses by Littlefuse and Buss, I couldn't tell the difference.  Georgehifi always says the old fuse oxidized and is weaker than a new fuse.  Well, I tried new in place of old (15+ year old) stock fuses and I couldn't tell the... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
mpheaven   I don't know which type of circuit breaker my friend used in his amps.  I've tried several low end brand fuses while I waited for the SR Black.  The Black was superior even without breaking in (72 hours).  The SR Blue was superior immed... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
Elizabeth,  I use the Walker Talisman, an expensive pair of magnets but easy to use, on every CD and DVD I play.  The results are obvious when the disc has been played through and magnetism adheres to it.  I also use it on LPs but I'm lazy about t... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
P.S. The same naysayers and trolls are affecting this forum as the SR Red/Black/Blue forums.  Too bad.  Audiophiles should try the fuses before making up their mind.
