Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
                                           Another rewind:      No one can tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.      LIKEWISE: no one can pos... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
                                           A rewind:        Anyone needing a rationale for experimenting with new fuses, cables or various, "tweaks" in their system and/or feeling dissuaded by the Church of Denyin'tology's antiquated... 
Repair options for Placette passive linestage?
        I see!         But, as I mentioned, "Any competent Tech should be able to convert the plug."      Rewiring your old DC power supply's DIN connector, especially while having all applicable components in hand, isn't Rocket Science.

@zenjabil -          Try one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Arkare-100V-240V-Replacement-Monitor-Scanner-Raspberry/dp/B09W96X88K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2GPI9RCENUW13&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.RvnQ_BmypkwE5yA_beiZyHjzI-IO_24XMLVfApJC4vr0hx_DCWIykp7dfGXoVph... 
Building crossovers
@arya -       Don't be dismayed, should your new parts sound less than ideal, upon first listen.       The better the dielectrics used in construction, the longer the capacitors will take to sound their best.                                    ... 
Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna!
      The Emitter amps have an amazing number of electrolytics, between their power supplies and the capacitor banks in their amplifier chassis.              The good news = Germans have a tendency to overbuild their gear.        My guess would ... 
Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics?
@jc4659 ​​​& @soix-                                        +1 each (overall)                                         The OP, as well.   
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
     I went through a few octets of  Sylvania's 6550s, until Upscale ran out and I couldn't find any more.       Uncle Kev recommended the Winged 'C' and those were a nice replacement, until the plant burned.        The GE 6550 variants were my ... 
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
@carlsbad2 ​​​& @dogearedaudio -                                              +1 (each)        As usual: the resident imitation of a fictitious Intelligence Operative, knows nothing.  
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
@brownred6 -         The Svetlana Winged 'C' tubes were a very nice tube and I hated to see the company shut down after the St Petersburg plant burned, with all it's equipment.         If you do manage to find any remaining stock; there's a 99% ... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
@rdwill - What about better fuses in speakers?? I see all the talk about amplification power sourcing but I am more curious about high end fuses inside of speakers. Seems like the signal would interact more in those instances.           When ...

Audio Cables: All the Same?
                 FFFFFUUUUUUUU!!!!!                 What: no mic-drop, CHILD?                       (snort of derision)  
Audio Cables: All the Same?
         Inescapable FACT: No one understands exactly how electricity works.                               That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY.              The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Pr... 
Audio Cables: All the Same?
     Feynman was and will remain, my favorite lecturer (yeah: I'm that old).      He mentioned often (and: I took to heart) his favorite Rule of Life: "Never stop learning!"      For all his genius, he never grew overly confident in his beliefs....
