Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
Well, with respect to the bulk tape eraser, I can imagine that demagnetizing the CD can have an effect on the laser since the laser beam is electromagnetic in nature. Charge, mass and spin. I think the issue is magnetism as opposed to static elect...

Do I have a "balance" problem?
Once you start playing with room acoustics, things can get pretty complicated in a hurry. The more you play around with panels and such the more you realize how powerful they can be in both helping and hurting sound. One really needs a test CD lik... 
slow blow or fast acting fuse
They made a difference in my 35 year old Fisher 500 C.

IPC Energizers
85 years ago the 24 year old Heisenberg published his Uncertainty Principle, a pillar of quantum physics. People have been expressing outrage and indignation and turning blue in the face ever since. 
What is your preference, Records or CDs?
Of course, you could say those numbers are theoretical numbers. When you listen to a digital recording it often sounds compressed compared to how analog sounds, in actual practice. Even when CD first arrived on the scene there was the specificatio... 
Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak
Isochronism wrote,"Geoff, If that is some type of proposal, I sincerely do appreciate the compliment, tho' I'm not that type. HA"I love it when you guys play hard to get. 
Power cord suggestions?
As fate would have it, unless the power cord is broken in on a cable burn-in system AND cryo'd there is just no way that a stock power cord, at any price, is going to be able to compete in today's high end world. If I were an exhibitor at CES or a... 
How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration
Act-u-ally, maple is much denser than bamboo. I'm not saying density is the overriding characteristic of value. Otherwise we'd all be using ebony.
