Snake oil! is the audio equivalent of fake news!Said by those who don't want to face the issue that it's true.We got rid of one and it'd be nice to get rid of the other.All the best,Nonoise 
The guru on fuses:
Amazing how some can read that passage from the link and come away dumber than they were.By the way, having tried different fuses and hearing the results is in no way an argument of faith. Having faith in something requires not having proof.All th...

Why wont speaker companies publish their measurements?

Iso-Puck Question
My experience with the Oreas was to use ones that would use up about 40-60% of weight allowance. The ones that used around 90% didn't have anywhere near the same results. Also, despite what Isoacoustics and Music Direct told me, using them under t... 
Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?

Hegel fuse holder
If it is the one with the slide out drawer, just use a proper sized screwdriver and gently twist it sideways a bit, to loosen it. Then try to leverage it all the way using equal and gentle force along the whole of the edge of the screwdriver. That... 
FUSES, Finally!?
I love the directional fuse guys the best, because it is akin to wearing putting a swastika tattoo: It lets people know where you stand.  What a sick and disgusting thing to say. Remind me not to come to your defense when the objectivists fall on... 
Cullen or Triode Wire Labs power cord?
I have the TWL Digital American Series PCs for my integrated and SACD player. At the time of purchase, Cullen Cables didn't have the Crossover series and the most expensive cable line he had was about half the price of the TWL. I had that PC befor...
