| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? Mapman wrote,"No it's ridiculous. Ipod spell checker changing my words and me not catching it. 📱"I'd be rather surprised if you wouldn't be better off with an iPad all the way around. | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor The farther the subwoofer is off the floor the less the magnitude of vibration force the subwoofer transmits to the floor and thus to electonics, turntables, CD players, etc. | |

| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Thanks for the link to the ton of threads on AA on the dodgy subject of fuse directionality. One thing I see that’s fascinating is that posts on fuse directionality go back at least as far as 2001. So if my math’s right people have been crabbing a... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. "I know, but I think this fuse business belongs with the green CD marker and the $650 wood volume knob. Anyway, the electricity flows from the transformer and caps, toward the output transistors."Build it and they will come.;-) | |

To clarify for others, AP/MTT refers to an IEEE Chapter on Antennas & Propagation/Microwave Theory & Techniques."Hey, whaddya know? I was in antennas and propagation for quite a while.

| Does the ceiling fan affect the sound? It would seem rather unlikely that the air blown by the ceiling fan at say 5 ft/sec would have any audible impact on the acoustic waves produced by the speakers that travel at the speed of sound, I.e., 1100 ft/sec. The fan would blow orthogonal to... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) "The Audio Magic fuses are just the stock "Little Fuse" brand. They are decent industry stock fuses, but nothing special (like $4 a fuse). Audio Magic drills and fills the fuse with an anti-vibration solution, which acts to reduce electrical reson... | |
