Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse?
Here you’ll find 36pages, 900 Littlefuse even colored ones Black, Blues, Oranges maybe even Green as well that look like they could be un-badged $160 boutique fuses. All for a fraction of the price. Then for fun select other manufacturers at the t... 
Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers
smwdrtwin Buy this and just play the ’Pink Noise" track over and over, be careful of the others, they "can" damage your amp/speakers https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Test-Disc-Freq-Sweeps-Pink-Noise-Phase-Audiophile-Studio/184196815012?hash=item2ae2... 
Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
Better amps have very robust power supplies that can provide the extra current required to double the power. As I said before it’s not just the power supply, but the output stage as well. Especially the use of BJT (bi-polar) output stages in comp...

Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
I have a krell amp that claims that spec but it can’t technically do it What a lot are doing is to underquote the 8ohm wattage to make the 4ohm look like it doubled.  You see it all the time now in the Stereophile spec bench tests, where the manuf...

Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
I would still think the ML2 would be more than 25 watts into 8ohms They are, when keeping respectable 8ohm distortion figures, losses, as they only have 20v or 25v rails for memory.Cheers George 
Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
I doubt any amp can really double it’s power with halved impedance. If you take literary then no, it would like perpetual motion then "impossible" "Almost" double, it’s wattage is the operative word, 8 to 4ohms, 4 to 2ohms and in the ML2’s case 2 ...

Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
This statement is false This ’doubling down’ thing is mostly marketing and **waaaaay** overplayed. This is the false statement, and is the typical statement of amp manufacturers that can’t double down with their amps. However, if the supply line... 
Aftermarket fuse for subwoofers?
I’m sorry for your son, similar happened to me, but I see what he’s getting at. Take mahlman comments in the context it was given.I’ll echo his analogy with this, "this fuse snake oil stuff is like a malignant cancer, very hard to stop" sorry to a...

Applies only to Synergistic. No idea what anyone else is doing, how or if they work at all. Of course it does, the normal 6 pack of SR fusers, don't shill for other fuse companies.
