We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
I think those obsessed with “designer” fuses; even though those fuses may not have generally accepted fuse rating certification-or any recognized approval from any electrical standards authority; really deserve their own web forum. Perhaps “Fuses ... 
Phono Preamps with "balls" ?
I’d suggest Spectral; even though that means buying a used DMC20 preamp with the optional phono stage.  
A Question on Speaker Driver Efficiency
@cj1965 and other Respected and Valued contributors to this forum. cj1965 is obviously well schooled in the math, a stickler for precision, and interested in the truth of the matter. I believe/hope his knowledge “could” become valued here. However... 
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
I suggest asking the specific wire manufacturer. I am conservative minded and have experience with highly critical processes and equipment  I feel caution and expertise are appropriate. For example, Calmont Wire and Cable has supplied critical wir... 
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
Draw out your new room and equipment locations precisely to scale. Consider all equipment you may want. It’s an important project. By all means have a normal compliment of wiring regardless of your hi fi demands! Seriously consider wiring through ...

Just Got My Oppo 205!
If you bought it to replace a DVD player— why not compare the DVD aspect? Why criticize CD sound when you knew it wouldn’t/couldn’t live up to the gorgeous dedicated player you have. Seems strange to me. Fwiw.

Tell us how the 205 video compares to what you’re using now.  
Just Got My Oppo 205!

Piggyback Balanced Power

PS Audio Power Plants
I think hifijones idea is definitely worth trying. The 2Q is quite an elegant solution-take a peek... 
Oppo exploring additional production of UDP 205
I have registered and happy for the opportunity.  
I have been using the Cambridge 851 CD player for a few years and want more.
Not knowing your system,and assuming you’re not already using balanced power; I recommend you audition an Equitech 2Q. You may be very pleased at the quality of sound “hidden” in your present system. I use one along with MIT p/c’s and a Sound Appl...
