Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
Anybody know something about Hana’s mono cartridge? I’m somewhat considering replacing my AT33 Mono Anniversary. 
Phono Cartridge for $1,000.

HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC

TOSLINK OPTICAL cables
I bought a Glass brand toslink cable, which cost very little by comparison to the big audiophile names and there was a significant improvement. I didn’t want to spend a lot because it just runs between my tv and sound bar but the difference was so... 
Technics or Thorens, need suggestions

Al, do you think it might be wise to remove the fuse in my Scott tuner? 
Synergistic Research Orange Fuses
geoffkait, I did notice an improvement between the Black fuse and the Blue fuse. I have a very revealing system and can hear everything from my digital sources. I'm not so sure the differences would be as noticeable in my Scott FM  tube tuner or m...

georgehifi, sorry but I'm completely disinterested in blanket proclamations of disdain towards any tweak: fuse, outlets, or otherwise.If you've tried the Orange fuse then please feel free to comment on, otherwise it's off topic. Thanks
