An SACD question
I own about 500 sacds and now have some on my music server in dsd. Getting this is a rather cumbersome process but is wonderful. It is like hearing master tapes. It also takes lots of space. I have a two Tb raid system, so this is no real problem.... 
Fuses that matter.
Hifitime, I fondly remember a time in Tallahassee when there were other audiophiles around and we went to listen to their systems when they had new products. In LA there were more and more formal meetings and dealers who would have such meetings. ... 
Fuses that matter.
Hifitime, "If" is the operative word. Don't assume that people need to see the fuses, etc. I knew a guy who considered himself an audiophile who had his system of all renown manufacturers. I went by once and he showed me the system but did not tur... 
Fuses that matter.
Pack, I have tried magnets in place of fuse and even silver wire. I will say that there is a different sound, but I felt unsafe. 
Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny
Audiofun, I bought two Halcyonic Micro 4s. Each made a major improvement in my sound, but I could not buy more because of their expense. Later I got a StillPoints Rack and two Component stands. With everything on StillPoints, my sound was much bet... 
Fuses that matter.
I know from past experience that the use of the SR Tesla coil sound much better. So I'm anxious to hear their fuses done this way. I even had HiFi Tuning fuses zapped by them which also improved them. No chance of getting the Supremes zapped, howe... 
Fuses that matter.
I got some of the new Synergistic Research fuses in. I may get back about them, if you boys behave. 
Fuses that matter.
Chadeffect, I think you should add #7-it doesn't matter that some claim neither direction or manufacturer of fuses have no effect. It is not their business what we each hear in our systems. 
Fuses that matter.
Bryoncunningham, I admire your eagerness but think this is largely fruitless as there are too many fuses and too many components. It is a lot like fuse direction, I have found that many components show little sense of fuse direction and some great... 
How important is an audio rack?
Audiofun, I would agree that to the degree a rack improves isolation of components they are essential. The real question is do any racks do enough? I grant that WAF is important and some racks do have such appeal, but I have never heard a rack tha...

Thank you, Klinerm! 
Fuses that matter.
Goldeneraguy, it amazes me also. I really don't understand what drives some people. Having been for a year a EE major, I can partially understand. I once asked in class, when we were going to study tube circuits. In a mild rage, the professor utte... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I once heard a very interesting talk by a John Camille on what it would take to achieve 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 db of signal to noise. His conclusion was that 60 and even 70 were doable. That 80 was achievable with great difficulty and that 90 coul... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
Melbguy1, you miss my point. No one can listen to more than a small fraction of available cables. Neither you nor I have enough experience to make definitive statements. I would merely parrot your question, you have not heard the Exemplar Silver P... 
Fuses that matter.
Rodman99999, for some reason the HiFi Tuning Supremes seem much more sensitive to direction. You have a 550/50 chance to get it right with every fuse, of course. I thought I had them in the right direction in my amps, but when I reversed them, the...
