Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers
I have upgraded the fuses in my 1.6's and 3.7's. Yes, there was an improvement.There are a variety of fuses and prices to select from. I eventually purchased the Verastarr "Experience Truth Audio Upgrade Kit" which uses a Fuse Bypass. If a fuse by...

Totally agree with the above comments. Spikes through the carpet. 
We give up perspective to avoid tone controls
When you really think about it everyone's hearing is different and can change from day to day or hour to hour depending on a huge variety of conditions both internal and external. I'm not so sure one needs to be a purist, maybe tone controles have...

Am i missing something without a power conditioner?
@tattooedtrackman,Here is an affordable unit you could find used on Audiogon etc, or buy new at a discounted price. Find a Core Power Technologies CPT 300 which has an attached power cord that works well and attach it to a power strip. This will g...

Talk but not walk?
I'm sorry I came late to the party a lot has already been said and discussed but I wanted to say one thing. If one has not listened to a product regardless of what it is perhaps they should not state their opinion regarding it. Lots of debates goi...

SACD/CD player update
@Hifiman5, while I don't disagree with your comments what percentage of improvements would you say your upgardes (which I agree with) provided? 
Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long

SACD/CD player update

What component to hang on to?
Personally, unless you are going to make a killing selling off your components at top dollar, I'd keep them all!I realize I didn't answer your original question however my many years of experience took over unless you have a demanding better half ... 
Do I need higher quality power cords?
I would think your components would benefit from a power cord upgrade.
