Noise/distortion coming out of speakers
If this is happening while you're changing the volume from your remote, the noise be caused by the little motor that is moving it, if it just happens with the remote.I've seen some new upper-end units do this, while some cheap ones don't. It depen... 
Tube mixing
I think the impedance mismatch alone may be a problem, causing either the push or pull side to have a different load. Even with the same bias load, the frequency response can also be different enough, to possibly overheat the output transformers. ... 
Fuses that matter.
With the resistance they measured being as low as they say it is, these fuses would most likely have the least influence on the sound as mentioned earlier in this this thread. The resistors, including those right in the audio signal path, have a m...

05-13-12: TbgHifitime, you need at least some exposure to electronics to make audio gear, most of those I know who make equipment have military training but Electrical Engineering will also do. And yes, such training derives from science but itse... 
Fuses that matter.
There are people that believe you need science, and Electrical Engineers to make things happen in audio.Then you have people that sell tweaks that just don't have any scientific backing.It appears that some of these people want you to believe in s... 
3M Sound Damping Foil Tape
Using these products on the shelving your gear is on should be fine. The main concern would be blocking the air circulation that flows around the components. Putting products like these inside your gear can cause overheating, shorten its parts lif...

Hifisoundguy, if you think so. I imagine they make your Bose speakers sound good for you. 
Fuses that matter.
I can't picture a circuit breaker doing any better than a fuse. They have pressure contacts that may not make as good of a connection as a fuse. Audio gear rarely blows fuses. Also, a fuse makes a good connection, which would result in less noise ...

Don't forget to try them ǝpısdn uʍop. This may give different results. Even on the top half of the world! 
Fuses that matter.
There's a lot of talk about how great these fuses are by some people. The way the metal is drawn, the structure of the burn wire, and endless ways of stating they must be better.Here's one for everyone. When metals are continuously heated and cool... 
Can I Degauss my vinyl ?
I'm not sure what it is demagnetizing either. Some of the static charge will cause a magnetic field, and maybe some of that is reduced. Getting back to what would be my concern is the damage one of those TV units can do. Make sure you use it sever... 
Cause of Muddled Middle?
I'm not familiar with your gear. One thing I'm thinking after seeing pictures of your speakers, would be to swap the left and right speakers. I'm mentioning this because of the offset tweeters. It doesn't cost anything to try this, so I figure giv... 
recommendations for quality RCA volume control
Try the budget ones first to get the correct value. If they don't sound good enough, then try the better ones. I imagine they only have a resistor in them. 
Strage problem - power lines amps /preamp noise
It sounds like the Cary might have a tube, or something that gets noisier with heat. But, trying the below options might help.On the electric part, try plugging in a portable electric heater in the same outlet, and see if the noise starts quicker ...
