| Upgrading Fuses Have you ever noticed how the "this______absolutely makes a difference!" or "this________makes a huge difference" crowd never provides substantiated, or independant 3rd party verification, or scientific before-and-after data for any of their impro... | |
| how high is the drop test at ups? The box most likely landed flat on one side, thus distributing broad impact which would limit typical external deformations. And moreso if the contents were double-boxed, and the type of internal packing foam used. Besides coils, some x-over capac... | |
| how high is the drop test at ups? Always assume your package will be handled in the Jim Carrey "HDS Delivery Man" fashion, and pack accordingly.Rule-of-thumb: One set of high quality bookshelf speakers = Amana double-wide refrigerator box + 500' roll bubble-wrap | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? Mceljo, Before-n-after LP cryo results could be comparitively sampled/captured/measured quite easily with a decent o-scope equipment, and before anyone insists that it DOES make an audible difference, especially you-know-who, should have to provid... | |

| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? Lunac; Thanks, that WAS enjoyable! I'd hate to have to choose a favorite. Having eclectic taste like many, and even appreciating Jax2's nomination for "Electronluv", also making the AHOF list, but amongst worthy competition IMHO. Any of your perso... | |
| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? Jax2; "I beg to differ"Okay, beg away, but it's still just your opinion, of which you seem to feel quite passionate about defending. Just because you fancy his stuff, doesn't default "Electronluv" as the "no contest" winner. Pretty presumptuous, w... | |

| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? Jax2; His amps would be right at home in "Flash Gordon".Nice stuff, but remains a 'contest' contender.Eric; If the O.P. would've added other catagories, Oracle's transports would be one of my dream machines, along with Chord's stackup. Now, if "tu... | |
