| CD vs FLAC stored on flash drive vs streaming I have come to accept, "sounds good enough to be enjoyable" as my end point.

| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery The building stuff side of things always interested me. I like to know how something works and why it sounds the way it does. I have DIY’ed lots of vibration control, power conditioners, cables of all types, and more. That may be why I avoid st... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO @divertiti - I had to go back to some email to try and figure it out and the answer is, I believe so based on what I could find from Benjamin...Lundahl amorphous core, Vishay Nude, Furutech S/PDIF signal path upgrade, On the other end, in my Deja ... | |

| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? This means war! We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight 'em with conventional weapons. That could take years and cost millions of lives. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think this situation absolutely requires a... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? One thing I find interesting is how much discussion has occurred here considering the possibility (or likelihood) that not a single person who has posted here has purchased one of the $2,844 fuses. At least, I don't remember seeing a post by anyo... | |

| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? Ya gotta love the "90-Day Upgrade Program." Instead of upgrading my amplifiers, I should of just upgraded my fuses. I never even knew my gear had "bottle neck distortion" so thank goodness there is a remedy. I like how they put an arrow on each... | |
