Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
I just talked with a friend who received a pair to compare with the IsoCleans in his amps. After breaking in the Furutechs for several day, he went back to the IsoCleans and greatly preferred them.I was going to try a pair anyway, but at $60@ I wi... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Stehno, damn you! I had just dismissed the Hifi fuses given the comments in the review I posted. These sound like exactly what I have sought. Do you know what they cost? 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Leec, I mainly Nespa before duplicating cds, but I do sacds. I have not tried redoing them as you suggest. Perhaps I will try this. I must say I hope you are wrong as your being right begs the further questions then about how often to redo and how... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Bob, I am only identifying the hot wire to the transformers.All that I can say is that I have repeatedly heard the impact of the proper direction for fuses. IsoClean marks theirs, and I have always found they are right. Only you can be the judge, ... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Bob, if you check a fuse holder with no fuse in and with the ac disconnected, a meter will show continuity between the hot blade of the ac and one side of the fuse holder. Only with the switch and amp on will you have continuity between the other ...

Aggielaw, in all my experience with such fuse holders the arrow should go from left to right when you are looking at the fuseholder. I teach at Texas A&M and hear Aggie this and Aggie that all day. Where did you get this moniker? 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Are the HiFi fuses not directional? I would be interested in the German silver fuses, but was shocked to learn they are merely silver plated. Why doesn't someone make solid silver fuses where the ac would pass through quality wire, or does it make... 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
After trying the CoolCopy versus the RealityCheck duplicators, I wondered what was going on with some people. The Nespa, however, proved to be the real thing. So at some point I may try the #8500 and even the Jena 3D-X. 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Dazzdax, I certainly got exhausted in doing all the comparisons I did. This is not to say, however, that the duplicators, cleaners, and the Nespa don't work. 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Leec, thanks for the report.Ultimately when my UltraBit Gold has run out, I may try both the #8500 and the 3D-X, but for now I am back into vinyl and exhausted with comparing cd-r duplicators, the Nespa, and various cleaners. 
Silver or copper fuses for amps and cdplayer ?
Also, IsoClean at $25@ and best. They differ in price and sound. 
Help I think my AC is polluted
Jgreene, wow your electrical service is third world. Is it an old house or an old apartment? 
Help I think my AC is polluted
Do you get hum when it happens with the Equi=Tech plugged in but nothing running through it and not when it is not plugged in?If you can, put a scope on the line both when you have the hum and not. I would expect what you see would be different an... 
recomendation on a power conditioner
No such consensus. I live in such a place and my computer went at the same time as the surge protector. Later when I had no surge protector but had a Sound Application unit with the stereo on, lightening hit six feet from the stereo and did no har... 
recomendation on a power conditioner
This question has been beat to death. There is absolutely no consensus on whether you need one, whether surge protection is needed or screws up everything, which is the best buy, or even whether there is a best unit. Try listening for yourself.
