Adcom GFA-555 fuse stuck
Sounds like you are on your way to a solution. If you can't find the fuse holder at RS you might check eletronics stores but I am afraid they will all be closed today(saturday). If not look at partsexpress.com I am sure they will have it and also ... 
Blue ray player with good audio
What is your budget? There are many new models out that are Universal Blu-Ray if you also want SACD or DVD-A. Denon, Marantz, McIntosh, Theta, etc. I had looked at tha as an option when I decided to take blu-ray plunge. I ended up going a differen... 
Who makes a good CD recorder?
Actually there aren't many made anymore. Due to, I would say mainley, to what Mlsstl points out. However if you prefer a stand alone CD recorder as I do. The last one I bought was a dual well Denon that is no longer made but if you Google it there... 
Adcom GFA-555 fuse stuck

My ears of tin are over 50
I think if you can hear , you can hear. There is no text book guideline. I have a dealer freind that has a customer with hearing aids. I mentioned that the hearing aid would limit the bandwidth and the dealer told me he felt the same way. But the ...

Mcintosh mx 136. a good deal?

Mcintosh mx 136. a good deal?
I just traded an MX135 in on a Anthem Statement D2v. I really hated to part with the MX135 as it was one of many McIntosh pre/pros I have owned through the years. My motive was to acquire the BluRay codecs. It was either to spend 4-8K on a higher ... 
right-angle plug on power cord
I have had a Cardas PC made with a right angle plug from Cardas. I am sure many PC companies would be willing to do that for you. Cash is king!

3D Bluray players and Tvs
Agree with Rwwear. I think this is a gimmick that will appeal to some and it will fade. I recently bought a BluRay player for the first time and the salesman told me that buying a 3D model would future proof me. I don't need a 3D display, where I ...
