Synergistic Research Black fuese
I am currently using the SR Blue,  They are an improvement over the blacks.  The best fuse  I have tried are the Audio Magic Bees wax fuses.  I have had such a high failure rate with them  that I stopped using them and  am hesitant to buy any more... 
HFTs or more fuses

HFTs or more fuses
Sometimes it's hard to isolate one variable. Having HFT's placed front,back , side ,and ceiling with the Atmosphere does definitely change the sound field. That being said, the biggest change has been changing over to the Audio Horiziong  premium ...

Stage III Concepts Power Cords PC
Chris' power cords are indeed excellent. Hard to beat for the price/benefit ratio. I have auditioned Chris' power cords against the Kraken and Levithan. Having the Stage III Kraken and Levithan power cords in my system has taken the system to a de...

VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS
I have added a pair of the REL S/3 subwoofer to accompany the Vivid 1.5, driven by Luxman MQ88 and CL88 along with the Luxman DA-06 dac. Very coherent ... The RELs just add impact and body.
