Changing Fuses on McIntosh C500
I switched to a Furutech on my ARV LS26 and have been happy with the results. I won't say leaps and bounds but better control. I would imagine that you would notice improvements as well. It may depend on your power cord as to how much you notice. ... 
Anything better than 10 guage Romex?
