How far over the limit can I go
One of the best mechanics I ever knew growing up back in the day, a real experienced old guy, said if it ain't broke don't fix it. No wait, that's the cliche. What he said was, everything you do costs time and money and entails some kind of risk. ... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
If only common sense were actually common..... the whole point of the fuse is to not burn your house down. Has nothing to do with protecting your precious expensive equipment. For proof of that look no further than all the millions of people who h... 
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More!
Good to hear. Appreciate it. The truth is I have a very long history of looking out for people's money by searching out and reviewing only the highest value components- regardless of who makes it or what it costs! Anyone seriously interested can e...

Dedicated line question
No, wrong! The whole point of having a dedicated line is to eliminate all those extra connections. This is not theory or conjecture, I know it for a fact. My room was originally wired the normal way, outlet to outlet. The only thing plugged in was... 
Bob Carver C-500 worth restoring and/or upgrading??
Why not call Bob and ask? Think he is still here in Lynnwood. 
Mirage M1 with SET amplifier
Would work. All you have to do is use them as headphones. 
The end of Perfect Path Technologies
Had a huge awesome reef tank, but that was many years ago. Still, you had me going there for a minute. You must mean the lava lamp? 
mystery muffled mids
Anything by Bill Frisell, for instance, sounds phenomenal. You feel you can grab the instrument from the air. I mention this since he uses similar instruments to Zeppelin. Bowie's stuff sounds awful, as does Queen. I know they should sound bet... 
Does vinyl have a sound?
It is the sound of music. 
I am getting some new tubes for my amp, and I want to do a 24-hour burn in. How?
1. Connect amp to speakers.   2. Plug amp in.    3. Turn amp on.    There is more? Really???!
