PADIS vs Furutech fuses
@crazyeddy, I second the recommendation of OP.  Start with LS27, you should be able to hear overall improvement over the stock fuse. I also recommend to pick a next value up on high powered components. For LS27, please go with large 3.15A fuse. I ... 
Power cord for digital stuffs?
“It was the previous owner of my 808 who told me it actually improved the sound by changing to more expensive PC“I completely disagree with the ‘expensive’ part. As pointed earlier, a well designed cable with correct gauge (in this case 14AWG) sho... 
Power cord for digital stuffs?
@jond I order my DIY cables and accessories from Chris VenHaus at VH Audio. I believe he can make you one for a small fee. I have nothing but great experiences over last 10 plus years dealing with Chris.  
Power cord for digital stuffs?
@luna, In addition to regulated power supply, the CD players and DAC’s are low powered components so they don’t need heavy gauge PC’s. If your goal is to seek after market PC for your digital components, I would suggest atleast a 14 gauge wire. Th... 
Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?
@willemj Aren’t you the one listening to digital bits off Google Chromecast stick? I don’t own Vinyl but well aware with how good a properly setup Vinyl rig can sound....only an ignorant fool can make such a BS statement about Vinyl. 
Bi-amping with DEQX active crossover
@soma70,What are your existing Class A mono amps? From my experience, biampimg different amp brands often don’t produce desired results. I am currently using a Class D / Tube amp setup without an external crossover. It wasn’t easy and against all ...

@falconquest Thanks for your honesty. Now why can’t these naysayers be honest and open like you instead of being total ‘jerks’.

@nonoise Great post! We know, no good ever going to come from engaging the Naysayers :-)  
Digital coax cable, real world experiences?
@wgutz,I believe the article link you shared above is about 2 years old. Qobuz is very much alive and thriving. I wish they offer subscription to US residents. They are the only ones I know currently offering 24bit/192khz FLAC streaming.  
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
I seriously doubt you can find ‘quality’ and newer tube monoblocks in your price range. While you considering your options, I would recommend looking into ATI’s Class D amps, I own a pair of 544 series amps and they are quite amazing. http://ati-a... 
What makes you build a system around an amplifier?
+1, @wolf_garcia That’s exactly how I felt when I first heard ARC VT-80 amp. Six months later, my rest of the system is now ‘tuned’ to extract every last bit of its goodness. The amp’s tonal purity, full bodied mid base, dimension and texture, all... 
Please recommend a McIntosh preamp
+1, @mcgal I did find the tube / SS combo bit more 3 dimensional and rich in harmonics. My setup included C2500 with MC601’s.  
Do I need a preamp/processor?
@autre Since you’re already familiar with Sonos and mentioned wireless speakers, I suggest looking into Sonos Soundbar, Sub and a pair of PLAY 1’s. And you can leave your current 2 ch setup as is. I am using the above 5.1 setup with my TV, and Opp...
