I always hope for rationality. It's reasonable to try a taste of what's offered, before filling your plate with it. But- That's just my way of looking at it. 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Mt T: Further, I'm certain that you must see more "relevance" to Coke and Pepsi in a discussion concerning music reproduction, fuses and audio equipment than that of the sounds/nuances of live music. Perhaps you could enlighten me? Is there a mirr...

Mt T: If you'll take the time to actually read my post you'll note that I stated, "That opinion will be totally and completely lacking in merit to ME", and that I was addressing DBT in general. There are a multitude out there that share the everyt...

Mr K- You'll note in my post that I mentioned these fuses are most beneficial in the AC line and DC rail positions. Those that I use in my amps are- (mains)Cary monoblocks:(2)3A/500V/Slo-Blo for AC and (2).5A/500V/Fast for Plate Voltage, (woofers)...

To copy and paste what I posted on the other fuse thread: They are designed to provide the greatest benefit when placed in the power supply(AC input or DC rails). In these circuits, I've found the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses to increase the "organics" of m...

OOPS- My bad!! That money is being spent at Sonoma State U., and they are modeling their new hall after the Seiji Osawa Hall. I guess you're going to stay stuck with what is purportedly one of the best halls in the country. I've never heard the Bo...

Mr E- Don't write the main "Shed" off completely. Hopefully whenever the $110M upgrade/renovation is completed, you will have a venue in which you can enjoy both live acoustic and amplified music without reservation. It's scary that the concerts s...

Mr E- This past weds. nite I enjoyed an evening of acoustic jazz, performed by a quartet of local musicians, hosted by the University of Indianapolis(http://www.county29.net/cms2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17251&Itemid=9...

Mr Tvad- Anyone that is not intimately familiar with live music and all it's nuances may have any opinion they choose and that's fine with me. That opinion will be totally and completely lacking in merit to me, however, as that is what my experien...

Dave- I completely agree! If one does not try something themselves, and actually experience the effect(or not): How can they have anything outside of a totally empty opinion? Kirkus- If you are afraid of the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses(an ISO 9001 company)...

Room treatments are not a "tweak". Your room/system interface is one of the most important things(actually the biggest component) you can possibly address when setting up. This has always been true whether regarding a home listening room or live m... 
Tone controls- to use or not?
Ralph and MR E- I've purchased 8024's and 2496's for a number of venues over the years. As far as inexpensive auto-EQs for live sound: They do for a cheap, fast curve. Much more convenient than the old Ivey! I've got one in my listening room to ch... 
hooking up my cdp directly to amp?
You will gain a lot of transparency, if the CDP has the voltage output to sufficiently drive your power amp and you use a good attenuator. You have a Pioneer receiver hooked up to a power amp? 
Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?
I'm working on a hypothesis based on the fact that bats exhibit no high freq. hearing loss as they age. I'm thinking there may be some benefit from a guano based tea, or perhaps salad dressing. 
Wolcott Audio tube amp.what value resistor is this
39 ohms, 5% tolerance Test w/a volt meter set for DC, from the resistor's connection at the board(pos probe) to a ground(neg probe). I suppose you know not to touch anything else in the chassis as there are lethal voltages stored in the power supp...
