| Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses? Funky fuses! $$$$s.....! | |
| Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses? Its really not far fetched given the delicate structural nature of many fuses to think that any special sonic attributes that might be attributed to the fuse might change or not remain as newMaybe newness of a fuse is a big factor in how it sounds... | |
| Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses? Maybe they will offer a baker's dozen in the interest of providing better value to their customers? I suppose science has its limits and a really good fuse can only be really good for a short time. Its a darn shame. I suppose if a good bottle of w... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I can also recommend the TAD 125 Hibachi monoblocks to make the OHMs sing more along the lines of a tube amp. These can come in used on Agon for well under $1000 a pair and are a fantastic bargain. The only caveat is that TAD shut down operations ... | |
