Synergistic Red Fuse ...
All is quiet on the Western Front. Just an observation ... The better the system gets, the more I'm enjoying the complexity of classical orchestral music.  Classical Rock too. Just finished listening to a CD that is a live feed from a Fleetwood Ma... 
Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue
If you listen to the first cut on "Kind of Blue" carefully, you'll discover that in the beginning, before  Cannonball Adderly takes his solo, what you are listening to is an average studio recording. Good jazz players to be sure. Who could take i...

^^^ Hey, I'm all for that, mapman. I hope its been a learning experience for all. OP

Mapman ...With all due respect, there's no problem with anyone "not buying into what is being sold."  The problem lies with those who have a condescending superior attitude while intimating that those of us who have been in the hobby for years, in...

Geoffkait ...If you live within driving distance, I'd like to invite you over for a listening session. A triple layer of adult diapers will be required though. OP

^^^   To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the problem you have Wolfie Cotton Ears, isn't that you know too much. The problem is, you know too much that isn't true.  As a technical person, its understandable that you suffer from the common affliction of m... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
The price of everything and the value of nothing. What's the point of buying a fine California Napa Valley Cabernet for 20 bucks a pop when we have Trader Joe's selling Two Buck Chuck for $2.49 per bottle? Wine is wine, right?  Why buy a fine aged... 
Your favorite album cover...
This is one of my favorite covers:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lets-Get-Acquainted-With-Jazz-for-People-Who-Hate-Jazz-Jimmy-Rowles-Audio-CD...I found my sealed copy in an antique store in the bottom cabinet of an old Victrola wind up 78 record player.OP 
Best interconnects used for around $500 +?
I've recently replaced my FMS Nexus IC's with Von Gaylord 7000 ICs. If you can find a used pair of the FMS Nexus cables, you'll be more than happy. They were really expensive when new, but can be picked up within your price range used.

^^^ Nah, mapman ... it can't be. If it were any good he'd post pictures of it in the "virtual system" forum. I'm betting that its a PA system that plays at only one level ... LOUD. Either that, or the heart of Wolfie Cotton Ear's system is a 1978 ...

^^^When one lives under bridges and uses a PA system and claims it to be an audio system, it makes one stone blind to audio truth. In fact, the massive echos that emanate off of the concrete arches under the bridges cause severe listening fatigue ...

^^^ ... But then of course, there are those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.  "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." OP

^^^  marqmike ...Nice to  hear that the fuses are working out for you.  The Black fuses are really amazing. For an extra 20 bucks they are a no-brainer over the Red fuses. On the SR HFT's ... How these little things do what they do is a mystery to... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
^^^  Interesting comment marqmike. I keep saying that myself. It just keeps getting better.  After you do the fuses, you may want to try a ten-pack of SR's HFT's.  They are NOT subtle at all.
