What are fuses used for?
"...we all know acoustic engineering school is a scam. They don’t teach anything to prepare you for high end audio."Do not skip the school altogether. Apparently, more info about high-end audio education is here...http://www.magicalwisdom.com/ 
What are fuses used for?
"Yet capacitors are also directional due to the wire running through them."What is the definition of "wire" for this purpose? Surely not what first comes to one's mind. 
Drink of choice for serious listening?
"This thread should have been started on Misc Audio."True, but it is also the friendliest thread so far. 
Stereophile Magazine question.
"I do thumb through the current issue when I'm in Barnes & Noble, though."I am afraid that hobby may be over relatively soon. Barnes & Noble are not doing exceptionally well. 
Drink of choice for serious listening?
Mostly nothing, unless I am thirsty, or decaffeinated tea with honey and lemon in winter.

geoffkait,"Are you channeling glubson?"I am not that influential, but I will take a compliment."I might have underestimated you. 🙄"You seem to underestimate just about everyone. Except yourself. That is where you overestimate.

Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
"Pick up a cheap CDP if the opportunity arises."If you are in the U.S.A., stop by Goodwill or something similar. They are $10-15 when they have them. I used to see SONY ES players for about that much but had zero use for it so I had to pass. Of co...
