So, two nights ago, I moved the Yellow fuse from the line stage and put it into the phono stage. It seems to be a better match there in my system. In playing my go-to demo LPs, I’m hearing more inner detail than before. I was concentrating on fema...

Listening Skills Part Duex: What are you listening for?

^^^ As of last night, I'm preferring the SA Orange fuse in the line stage. I'm going to move the Yellow QSA fuse over to the phono stage where it will replace the existing SR Orange fuse. We'll see what happens there. I'll report back on the resul...
