Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
One of the biggest upgrades for a fuse, is to run a resistor in parallel to it. This is not for power fuses mind you, but for internal rail fuses. One cannot legally, for good reason, put a resistor in parallel with a primary power fuse. You can o... 
transistor pre with the sound of tubes
if looking for a tube preamp and it’s your first, then try to look at finding one that is very good at clamping output transients. Sometimes it’s the other way around. Eg, the Moscode 600 (tube/ss hybrid amplifier), in my experience, is phenomenal...

Cables, just as important as a hi end component?
Even though we make cables, my advice is to spend the least you can, in order to achieve the sonic qualities you desire.  Then weigh if the new(er) qualities of a more expensive cable swapped in...are worth it to you. Just common sense, is all. 
Non-fee Internet listening, FM stations, etc.
Mental growth in the esoteric sense involves not listening to anything with recognizable voice in it. Voice being part of the closed ego loop of the hind of the mind. (It's a trap!) (loop-lock tying you to yesterday's ground, unable to find a new ...

Cable from SUT to Phono Preamp
The signal is low enough in level that the noise level or noise injection susceptibility of the second cable is as critical as it is when going into the SUT from the cartridge and turntable itself. Any cable will physically work, but it should be ...
