The Most Cost Effective Tweak
What you have noticed mkgus is something I have been talking about for a very long time now. It was discovered quite by accident when I decided to see if I could hear any difference between two identical power cords. At first when I changed one ou... 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
There is a market because there are people willing to pay for the sort of really good sound quality fuses deliver. Yes it really is that simple.   
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
If the cord is really better, then one would suspect that all the untoward frequencies are sneaking into the device would vanish? Yeah, by magic, I guess. Remind me, weren’t you the one making such a big deal about taking alternative views serious... 
Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important?
Agreed, everything is important. Sound fidelity (like a chain) is only as good as it weakest component.Nice try. Freebie rubber power cords are absolute crap. If I swap out my Moneoone Supernova for freebie rubber crap it is obvious. But it does... 
On ''what there is''
Philosophy is the love of thought. A philosopher enjoys exercising the intellect. It is fun, but even children’s games have rules. Even children lose patience and get upset when you try and break the rules. Don’t say deed for did, they are two com... 
Townshend Springs under Speakers
Podiums are a serious improvement regardless of what was used before. They are much better than ordinary springs like Nobsound. Several here have upgraded to them from Gaia and feel they are well worth the extra. So it is not just the isolation, ... 
How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components?
25% each is about right. Except you left out wire. Your 25% amp budget is for preamp and amp. I'd go integrated if I were you. Your 25% wire budget has to cover all power cords, interconnects, and speaker cables. Unless you want a really good syst...

Fuse degradation?
The new Synergistic Purple fuse is $200, see Franks review. I have one ordered to compare with QSA Violet. The QSA Light Blue from for $71 is also excellent. I would link to where it can be bought but we need to be mindful of the tenuous psycholog... 
Choice of capacitor
To be honest, I don’t for the life of me know why all the obsession with caps. Not that they don’t make a difference. They definitely do. But so do diodes, and for a lot less money and with less risk of changing tone or response balance. Seriously... 
I agree with Keef
Sign the petition jond. We know you want to.https://youtu.be/KFuFqA4CG78?t=277 
RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .
Cruise was Mission Impossible. You're thinking Don Adams. He was Control. 
I agree with Keef
That's an awful lotta rope you're talking. 
I agree with Keef
All during the 16 election I watched virtually every one of Trump’s campaign speeches. In their entirety. Beginning to end. I’m talking from the time he walks down the aisle to when he leaves. One time after watching one of these, literally watchi... 
If Power Cords Don't Matter...
$749 World Class 6’ power cord compares to the competition at under $10,000.00 Yeah! Really Yeah, really. $749 is "under" $10k. So is $50. So is zero. "World class" merely means compared to all free power cords made anywhere in the world. "Compar...
