Furutech fuse
OP I share your dislike of the Furutech fuses. I tried them in two different units and in both cases I thought the fuses muffled the mids and highs coming out of my speakers.IMHO a great alternative is Furutech’s little brother,,,, the Padis fuse.... 
How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?

How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
Sorry, I can't offer any help here.  I'm still stuck way back, trying to decide ceiling vs. wall vs. lamp.  The whole shade vs, glass fixture has me spinning.Tim 
Jay's Audio transport
Along with buying a replacement CDM4 /19 I also decided to purchase a back-up disc clamp.  To me, the clamp looks like something I could accidentally drop, sit on, or misplace.  I ended up buying the clamp directly from Jays Audio and Vinshine is ...

Furman Elite 15 PFi - how to tell if everything is working
I don’t think Furman is actually using the term "power factor" in any kind of the usual industrial sense of power factor correction. Their naming refers more to power headroom or extra power draw capacity, so a normal check of the actual power fac... 
To buy grounded or not to buy grounded. That is the question.
I never said I had a problem. On another thread I was reading, three people recommended Audio Envy interconnect cables. I found their website and was looking at the interconnects, and then thought I would also check out the power cords as well.  ...

Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks 
Tekton Double Impacts
