My rant; we don't know what we don't know
@ fsonicsmith-   A good man recognizes his own limitations.  A smart man doesn't imagine everyone else to be likewise limited.

@audioman58 -   EXACTLY! 
Interconnect Cables
@ricred1 -   Don't know what you're looking for, as far as the, "next level", but:  my personal experience with the Platinum Eclipse follows.   In my room, with my system, and with(between my main amps and pre) Silver Audio Hyacinths(unbalanced), ... 
Best interconnect burn-in method
VOLTAGES are stored in a dielectric, and released over time, in any component/cable with measurable, "capacitance".     There's no, "pseudo" anything involved in that fact.   The complex musical signals, listened to via our cables, can be smeared ... 
Best interconnect burn-in method
A repeat, for those that desire not to remain willfully ignorant of the SCIENCE, regarding dielectrics and cable construction: (http://www.empiricalaudio.com/computer-audio/technical-papers/dielectric-absorption-dissipation-fact...) Further, by th... 
Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners
Got it now.  Kinda like a Bose 901 EQ does(at both ends of the spectrum), but- not at as high an order.   Then again: I've seen Tympani Bass panels, used with different mains(ie: QRS) and a DQ-LP1, with great results.   WHEW(that's been a few deca...

Mills MRA two types of different brand ?

phase linear amplifiers
Those of us that repaired them, loved Phlame Linears(they kept us busy). 
Mills MRA two types of different brand ?
Some vendors still have a supply of NOS, USA made Mills resistors.  Vishay bought the company, in 2011, and moved production to Mexico. 
audio :the crazy room where they DONT WANT YOUR BUSINESS
What ghosthouse said, ebm said, "WHAT?" 
VT4-B Westinghouse
No clue here either. I’ve never seen one with a yellow top.   Perhaps these guys can answer that: (https://www.vacuumtubesinc.com/2016bid.pdf) 
VT4-B Westinghouse
That's a military designation for the 211 tube,  more commonly seen as VT4A or C .    Value would depend on overall condition and test measurements. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Fascination found by fuse fanciers, followed by the ubiquitous fractious, foisting their fractured, "facts." A pause, to proffer preferred recorded programs, and a descension into an alliteration altercation. Pity the poor audio pupil, trying to t...
