fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Isanchez, I wonder why they stopped saying they were not directional.

Magfan, yes, try one of your fuses on way and then the other.Isanchez, my Hi-Fi Tuning fuses have no direction indication or arrow but my IsoCleans do. I have found no consistent pattern of markings on the Hi-Fis to use for deciding which way to i...

When I bought most of my IsoCleans they were $25 each. They are now$35 for all values.

Eldartford, this thread is really the age old debate about listening versus theory and DBTesting.

Pubul, we really have nothing but "classic testimonials." And of course, for me all they give me assuming they are credible, is the interest in hearing it myself or at least checking with my friends as to whether they have heard it and, if so, how... 
New Fuse Thread . . .
Warnerwh, listening to music is always my solution also. It is curious that sound is our major concern, but writing about is preoccupies us. Would it not be nice were we to be able to post our sounds?

Phaelon, I think you paint with too broad a brush. Some small manufacturers, typically not engineers, do use quality parts and state-of-the-art circuits. Nevertheless, what you say is true of what engineers have become in the US. MBAs and the succ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Mmakshak, I think the difference between the finest vinyl and digital has closed greatly in the last five years with better dacs and teflon output caps as well as going to read until right hard drives as a digital source. Finally, I have found the... 
High efficiency speakers
Alectiong, as others have said having 18 watts gives you the luxury that many SETs don't give you. I loved my Reimyo PAT777 amp but bought Acapella LaCampanellas at 92 db. The 8 watt Reimyo just could perform as it had with the Beauhorn Virtuosos ...

You guys are lucky. The best I can do is to sit in first two rows in the center. The direct sound dominates over the awful amplifiers and reverb used in the University's auditorium.

Tvad, since most live music events use amplifiers in poor rooms, I tend to agree, but I would not go so far as to suggest that live music is unobtainable and that we should be happy with good music reproduction rather than realism. I typically do ...

In one speaker?

Timrhu, I guess you are suggesting that some tweaks, components, etc. have greater impact than others. I certainly don't deny that given my experiences. I think that DBT advocates typically go further saying that they would have to have difference...

Albert, I don't support outlawing it although I think it is worthless. I think many are really insincere in advocating it, in that they would not pay any attention unless it supported their belief that there are no differences. I am always curious...
