FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords.
Parts Connexion is selling Hi-Fi Tuning Silver Star fuses at $20 (originally sold for $40). So I ordered one for my amp. Basically a twenty dollar audition. If I feel there is an audible improvement I will replace all my fuses. Question;  Is there... 
OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality???
