Fatal error
Whew.  What a relief. From the title "fatal error" thought you had sold off your wife's Lexus convertible and bought yourself a pair of 150 pound monoblocks.  
Did the Old Receivers Sound Good?
To get right to the OP’s point about "specs": The attempt to assign a number to audio performance is often a futile attempt to arrive at something meaningful. Those numbers usually fell into various measurements of distortion and it seemed inconsi...

@clearthinker "the channel separation will not be the width of your head, rather it will approximate to infinity since each ear hears only one channel" Attempts a humor are a hit and miss proposition. It’s been said that laughter is a form of p... 
Are you getting the bass you deserve?
I didn’t know my bass, from my oboe until I read these threads. thank you.

I’m not sure if anyone else picked up on this. If you own the cheapest set of earbuds or $5k electrostatics, the stereo separation spec is the same. It's the width of your head.

Remove all the parts from prospective audio gear.  Check them for tolerances, then reinstall them using silver solder.  That's the only way you'll know for sure.

@p05129  "When I was shopping to spend $60k-$100k on audio equipment, my wife was involved, either by joining me at dealers or going to audio shows around the country. Just like my wife and I always went together looking at new homes, expensive s...

@rocray  "I had my wife clean the gutters on Valentine’s Day.  Don’t judge. I held the ladder." Nice.  But, the big question is: Did you sit your beer down and use both hands to hold the ladder?

New Synergistic Master Fuse
I seems that in every product category (yes, high end fuses ARE a product category), there's a desire to create a product in a space not yet occupied.  Elevating the price point 2x the existing "reference" is nothing new in high end audio.  And, i... 
I Was Stunned
@tomcarr Form AND function. You gotta love it when all the stars line up and things turn out better than you expected. Stunning! I couldn’t help notice the walk clock with the album playing with simulated tonearm. I actually found one of these ... 
Power cord length
"The two meter definitely sounds better. While they are clearly the same power cord the 2 meter is a bit quieter. Definitely worth the money." "I do find a difference in the sound between different lengths of powercords and the sorter ones I don’... 
I Was Stunned
I have to admit that when the OP promised to post photos of a "nice rack", it really got my attention. This probably the most adolecent post that you’ll see on this topic. But, to borrow a line from the movie Tequila Sunrise: "You can’t blame a c...
