| Upgrading Fuses Ghosthouse - Milpai Fuses. Not, wonders of nature, magic and mysticism, limits of the universe stuff. Just lumps of metal that you pass current through & that have a limited number of properties that are easy to measure & quantify and unde... | |
| Upgrading Fuses "I'm sure there are even counterfeit fuses being made as well as power cords, interconnects, and speaker wire." I think you are right. Cardas has, or used to have, problems with others counterfeiting their cables & has/had info on there websi... | |
| Upgrading Fuses " I looked at 4 or 5 other manuals and they all spec'd the fuses."They do describe operation of their installed circuit breaker used instead of an incoming power fuse on the KSA 250 though. The interesting thing in the manual to me was the warning... | |
| Rookie; replace my own amplifier caps?? Kijanki - Thanks | |
| Rookie; replace my own amplifier caps?? Is there any need or upside to forming (initially applying voltage at particular levels and time) audio power caps? I'm not sure at what point (volts/ampacity/design) forming is recommended but if the OP is going to be somewhat of a perfectionist ... | |

| Upgrading Fuses "How can interconnects make a difference?"Nonoise - For what is worth, the measurements and theory crowd (me included) would need to agree that interconnects can indeed make a measurable difference. In the non-audio world as well, you need to be a... | |
| Upgrading Fuses "Vhiner... Just as silly."Not to criticise, but that seems a little harsh. Getting back Monty Python:Magic fuses & wonder ears = silly partyPlummeting to death = very silly partyIn my opinion:). | |

| Upgrading Fuses "I've never found hypothetical scenarios very interesting or productive"Filtering out noise on the input side of stereo equipment is very basic stuff. My guess is that some of your own equipment has ac line noise immunity/voltage tolerance specifi... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Vhiner - I'm an audiophile and I did not intend any ridicule or remarks of a personal nature. I actually can't find anything that could be construed as personal in my previous note. I do think the 'high resolution of the power supply' comments are... |
