Transports: CEC TL5 vs. Audio Note CDT-Zero II?
I think I bought it in 2004. It was in storage for the last seven years, though. I took a break from the audiophile game, and just got back in. It's a very well built piece. The XLR output is intermittent, but other than that, it still works great. 
SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
The Yamamoto A-08S is on my list, if I come into some unexpected cash. I'd run it into my ANs (92 db?) full range, just like I'm doing now. I'm sure it will have enough "slam" for when I play The Killers. 90 db is LOUD!

If you want to get the full effect, you have to listen to fusion music. 
Transports: CEC TL5 vs. Audio Note CDT-Zero II?
Sounds nice, but way over my budget. I decided to gowith the TL5, and will have it in a few days. Am hoping it will be a nice improvement over my old Audiolab CDM 8000.

Does anyone who has tried the Graphene Extreme ICs also have experience with Crimson Music Link ICs? I have the Crimsons and am pretty happy with them. They are both neutral AND musically involving. I am intrigued by the GEs, though. Especially at... 
Would you go all 1 brand for electronics?
Audio Note UK. I'll go with them for speakers as well (already have).

Who has tried the quantum black fuse in a CD transport? What were the results?My new CEC TL5 belt drive transport will be arriving fairly soon, and I am thinking about upgrading the the fuse.Been listening to Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin ...

Installed a black in my Audio Note DAC Kit 1.1. After getting the direction right, I left it on for 4 days to burn in. Didn’t hear any difference.Just kidding! Instruments sound even more real. Background is blacker. Individual lines are easier to...

I appreciate those who may be skeptical of the differences people are hearing with these fuses, but still make worthwhile contributions to this thread.Then there are those who live under bridges...

Since those of us who hear a difference are obviously delusional, Why do you guys waste your time trying to convince us otherwise?Oh that's right, you are the self-appointed guardians of gullible audiophiles, and have a sworn duty to try and save ...

Since directionality can be heard in standard fuses, not just audiophile ones, it doesn't cost anything but time to test it in your own system. Simply flip a fuse. If you can hear a difference, better or worse, then you've proven to yourself that ...

Just wanted to chime in and share my experience with the SR Quantum Black fuse. I was inspired by this thread to try one. I am new to the audiophile grade fuse thing, but it made sense to me that a cheap fuse could be a bottleneck to good sound. I...
