| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? Thank you all for the responses, so like always attack and become argumentative. I use a Furman Reference 20i and a PS Audio P-12. One for the Video system and the PS for my front end. Most wrote how they love their conditioners, that is great! My... | |

Now those who claim they see God with the change I would not go that far, but there was a difference in my ... | |
| Fuses Fuses can make a difference but no way are jaw-dropping. Ceramic fuses work better than glass, the direction of the fuse does matter, so before you go spend a lot on fuses take the time to flip your fuse and see if the sound improves. You may be v... | |
| Does the Mark Levinson 331 suck? A amp sounds what comes before it. Mismatch the front end then your amp passes what it was fed. A preamp gain impacts sou d quality of it is a mismatched for the amp. I owned the 333.5 years ago and enjoyed it. Was used with the matching preamp th... |
