Awhile back I asked if anyone had put an SR fuse in their conditioner OregonPapa responded,Fourwnds ...So far, no one has reported trying an SR fuse in their power conditioner. Why not be the first, then report the results here? I'd certainly be ...

Yogi, did you notice that the Grado has the statement series 2 output listed as both .5mv and 1.0mvhttp://www.gradolabs.com/cartridges/statement-series-cartridgesThis is has me shaking my head. Are they measuring the output two different ways?

Hi George, thanks for responding. It is an Alps Japan 89141 100kax2. They are in a vintage Quicksilver Full Function preamp. It is the later version with a single tube(5ar4)rectifier. I have gone for long periods of time listening through the tape... 
Recently re-discovered or newly discovered music in your current "heavy rotation"
Every once in awhile I strike gold. Yesterday it found me. It's got everything I currently dig. Tropicalia funkiness with fusiony grooves a la CTI minus some of the cornier to me arranging. Killer sonics.  Spacious open and airy. Herbie Hancock pr...
