Fuses that matter.
They had at least a hundred hours on them. 
Fuses that matter.
Knghifi, I did try them. I found them smeared and midrange oriented. I should also note that I have many of the older HiFi tuning fuses lying around here unused.Donjr, you are right about the price. They are expensive. I don't think the Cable comp... 
Do you believe in Magic?
Ah, up to Uranus again! 
Neuance shelfs - are they still build?
I think the process of heating and pressing the styrofoam emits gases which were getting to him. It is too bad as these shelves had no resonant frequency being of mixed compressing throughout. I still have four of them, which although I don't use ... 
Words From the Wise
Gshepardbuster, I have always wondered given the time I take to optimize new components, how reviewers can do so, in the short time they have the gear. Of course, some reviewers get the manufacturer to set up their gear for them. I also know that ...

Powder and Glory, thank you both for getting this thread back to the topic. Can you please say more about with which cables you compared them with. 
Tidal Speakers owners
Johngp, just this week I ordered a pair of the BMC Arcadia speakers. I had been using little LSA1 Statement speakers, such as I use in my small room in NM where I avoid Texas summer heat. Frankly, I miss my Contrivas, but the LSAs are very close. ...
