pragmasi ....  There's no reason not to experiment with fuse types (other than you shouldn't expect the audio performance to change at all) Just curious, pragmasi ... have you tried any of the after-market fuses in your system? Frank

  georgehifi ...Uhh, George ... Most audio equipment has a fuse holder on the outside rear of the unit. It is a simple operation to release the holder, remove the old fuse, install the new fuse, then replace the holder. It certainly doesn't requi...

Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
hifiman5 ...It's the "Super Black Hole CD Mat. I'll be trying it out in about an hour or so. I haven't tried it for a couple of years now, and that was long before the majority of the latest tweaks were installed. Frank 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
I have the small Herbie's Black Hole mat. It was Herbie's latest mat at the time.  It has never come off during play. I'll try it again tonight and report back tomorrow. Frank
