| ORANGE Fuse rejected "Why in the world would anyone be opening up a perfectly fine component to replace its fuse if it is not broken ..."Um, for a large improvement in sound quality? | |
| ORANGE Fuse rejected auxinput ...Did you try reversing the direction of the Orange fuse? I've had them throughout the system for quite a while now, and have noticed no "harshness" at all. I have noticed that if they are in the wrong direction, the system sounds out of... | |

| Why the cost increase? This essay explains it very well:http://www.321gold.com/fed/greenspan/1966.htmlMillercarbon ... You are one of the very few people I've met who understands the money issue. Frank | |
| Guys, this is part of the issue I am asking about in my other thread... Lowe's and Home Depot both have a wide assortment of fuses. | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! The best tweak is to learn what to listen FOR. Last night my soul touched the soul of Miles Davis. It was a glorious experience. On bitter coffee: Get into home-roasting. You will not believe what you’ve been missing, and just how good coffee can ... | |
