fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Magfan, Timrhu, and Pubul57, I will not go through all of the DBT stuff again, but if others do not accept your measure of "sounding better" you can hardly prove anything by using it even were you to use the best experimental procedures. Secondly,... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Magfan, certainly your saying that fuses don't matter don't make it so. Don't mention double blind tests as they are invalid tests for audio. Stop mischaracterizing what I am saying. I have never said that having a good room is not a top priority.... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Pubul57, yes down to 200Hz.I do think a bad room is hard to get right and expensive to even attempt it. I think fuses can make a very nice improvement at a reasonable price. Painting the fuse with AVM can also add a lot. 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Magfan, what makes you think others have not treated their rooms and carefully positioned their speakers? I don't know whether the typical room could be improved as much by what you suggest to rival the improvement of the use better fuses. My expe... 
What one product has redefined music for you??
I have had many instances where one product redefined music for me and thought I might be able to say that one stood out. I failed. Certainly walking by and hearing Infinity ServoStatics stopped me in my tracks. Hearing them later with ARC Dual 75... 
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
Well, I am late to the dance, but it seems that all the discussion focuses on the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses versus stock fuses. I have always used IsoClean fuses as they came out well before the Hi-Fis and are or were cheaper. I have twice tried the Hi-F... 
"Best" of the "Universal" players ???.
Do Blue-Ray players play cds and sacds? I cannot imagine that there will be albums released on Blue-Ray as there is so much space on the disc. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Mtkhl, yes. Long ago I thought I was pretty close to realism then about 5 years ago I thought wow this is now much closer. Then about 3 years ago, etc. I am running out of life time, but enjoying the rewards of my effort to find the best equipment... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Guys, I made a response earlier and either somehow forgot to send it or had it blocked. It was primarily a response to Mike, saying why I found all speakers I have listen to to be compromises and that what I want and will never get, is a point sou... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Alec, long ago I owned the Watson Labs. I sold them to a guy in Dallas. Much before that I had the Dayton Wrights mentioned by Essentialaudio. I thought the Watsons were better but then again the Dayton Wrights were very hard to drive and solid st... 
How Many Turntables Have You Owned
Macrojack, is the emphasis on "owned" or "all of them?" 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
I have never blown an IsoClean fuse, nor have I ever heard a benefit from using a fresh one relative to one used for over a year and a half. 
audiophile music servers the latest products, info
I have listened to many music servers and found great variations. The only two that much interested me are the Exemplar and the Blue Smoke. I bought the Exemplar and still love it. 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
I once wire ac directly from the wall outlet the component's ac transformer. It was dramatically better but quite unsafe. I also once tried wiring across the fuse holder, which is what the Virtual Dynamics magnets are doing. Again it was superior ... 
Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
Elberoth2, I have yet to get back to Herzan as I have reason to believe they think I am running a lab as I used to be a professor.I do have an experience yesterday that might interest you. I was putting new IsoClean fuses into my H-Cat amp. The am...
