Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers
@grekon39- ".....there are definitely two sides of the fence on this one." One could certainly say that! If you haven’t perused the offerings/opinions, in the following threads, you might be interested. Don’t know how many responses are based on s... 
Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers
Some fuse makers(ie: Synergistic) offer a free trial period, so- you’ve nothing to lose, by ACTUALLY TRYING their products(unlike MOST neigh-sayers). Listening to them, in your own system and with your own ears, is the only way to know if you can ... 
"Super Rectifier"
You’re already using one of the premium, available rectifiers out there. Once upon a time I tried a solid state replacement, for the 5AR4 in a wonderful sounding(modded) ST-70. Couldn’t remove it fast enough. That wasn’t one of the Super-Rectifier...

@geoffkait - There’s a lot that is known, but- like I said, " Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties that wires and fuses can out...". No one has actually observed photons, in a conductor, either. And- like you said, " Nobod...

@ghosthouse - So many variables(aural acuity/sources/systems/rooms/experience/training) and so much resistance(can’t work so I won’t try/won’t spend more than 50 Cents a foot for wire). Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties... 
what tubes for eastern electric minimax phono?

LP ? Undersized spindle hole.
The hole is supposed to measure 0.286" + 0.001" -0.002". I would use a tapered reamer, like the first one, on the following list: https://fdtool.com/catalog/reamers/morse-taper-reamers-2/ Insert reamer until it touches(perpendicular to label/vinyl...

Both Ocean Way Recording and Bernie Grundman Mastering have used Cardas cabling.(can’t swear to what they’re using now). Ask them, if it really matters to you! You may have heard of a few of their clients. ie: http://www.berniegrundmanmastering.co...

@ghosthouse - I was agreeing with you, outside of the fact, only 24 posts would put them behind the typical naysayer’s curve.
