Sadly missed manufacturers
@abrew19 ~ B&W is still alive and remains very reputed among speaker manufacturers worldwide. They were nowhere near dying in 2014 😊

"I feel like all the air just went out of this thread"@nonoise ~ I feel your pain bud. I can somewhat imagine OP anxiety, what can you possibly expect from a $25 fuse in a $60K system that already sounds great. 
Best Budget RCA cables
@leemaze, There is no straightforward answer to your question about appreciable difference between $6 and $50-$60 IC's. A good quality cable should allow you to hear the best possible sound your upstream components are capable of. The Kabledirekt ... 
PS AUDIO DIRECT STREAM DAC OR DCS ROSSINI DAC
I agree with previous two members, however if decoding of MQA file is any consideration then PS Audio DAC should be on top of audition list. It would be worth inquiring with DCS if they have any plans to offer MQA decoding. The high Rez streaming ...

The OP end up going with PADIS fuses, let’s give it a rest until he reports back ....no pressure right :-)@nonoise ~ thank you for your recommendation in No. 3 response. I still can't believe it took additional 179 threads to put this discussion t... 
SOtM dCBL-CAT7 LAN Cable
@mikeg You have a pretty awesome digital front. I am glad to hear that 'Special Edition' dCBL-CAT7 worked out nicely in your setup. Since my setup doesn't have external NAS, I didn't feel the need to employ $1100 special edition.  My digital setup...

Vibrapod Cone - Do these make a difference?
+1 @cleeds If a stand is not an option, at least get a solid maple block. And then add Vibrapod cones. You should hear improved soundstage with both of these tweaks. Good luck!  
Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers
@mobiusmu,You may wanna check Salk Sound, I heard them at AXPONA this year. Fabulous sound and choice of exquisite wood grain. http://www.salksound.com/type.php?format=FloorstandingI believe they do offer in-home trial.  
Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers
@mobiusmu, As suggested by @stereo5, I would try to attend one of the two upcoming audio shows. RMAF is one of the best and largest audio show. If you're unable to attend the RMAF, then try to attend the SHOW in Anaheim. https://thehomeentertainme...

"I can tell audiophiles are very particular about which fuses they want."  +1 @geoffkait & @joecasey Let your ears guide you what sounds best in your system! I would like to add, don't get sucked into marketing hype with any tweaks. In my syst... 
best way to go from balanced XLR - RCA (unbalanced) - anyone...?
My vote is also for a good RCA cable as long as you're not going over 2M length.
