Power Conditioner vs A/C cables
I would in fact argue against buying these form high end firms and get ones that meet medical requirements. I fully agree. As far as I'm concerned audio equipment is just as sensitive as medical equipment, yet few seem to understand the impact... 
Integrated Amp upgrade path
Yamaha’s “not good” for his system?  Care to qualify that statement?  It’s a digital source, format and features matter more then price.  But go ahead and waste your money, op mentioned that “data is data” so I’m assuming they aren’t a sucker. ... 
Power Conditioner vs A/C cables
A power condition that generates its own pure sine wave output is worthwhile to completely remove line noise.Shielded power cables stop Electromagnetic Interference emanating from the cables. Certainly EMI is present in the environment, but it is ... 
Has Anybody Else Heard These?

What is better, analog or digital?
There is some crackle and pop but much more authentic. Authentic?Does it really need to have rumble, crackle and pop to be authentic? Wouldn't crystal clear be preferable? 
Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components?
It's really a depressing question. Why do so many people reject/fear science? So who rejects science? Flat Earth people? Who fears science? Why would anyone be afraid of science?Science or equipment tests can tell us a lot of things but it is c... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?

mystery muffled mids
EKR - Retro Rock through TuneIn Radio is reasonable with AAC - 128 kbps. Currently playing the Immigrant Song. Not bad at all, although I prefer listening to my own sources.

Cassettes. You cannot be serious. If you're into tape get something with a decent speed. Ditch the compact toys and get a reel to reel deck. Cassettes run at 1.875" per second.  Reel to reel runs at 7.5" per second or 15" per second, which is th...
