Cayin A-88t vs. Almarro A318B
I often wondered about that myself. I guess alot of listeners like the SET sound as traditional. I prefer the best of both worlds. Very lush mids, extended airy highs, and a solid tight bass. I guess that covers it. As James Hatfield said, "More i... 
Cayin A-88t vs. Almarro A318B
The 318B is a re-engineered A . It gives up nothing in return . The A isn't in the same class as the B . The ext. is exactly the same and it uses the same tubes . But the B was electronically changed to maximize the very thing the A was lacking . ... 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ?
Thank you for your input Viridian, I need to get into more of the raw recordings. I'm gradually leaning in that direction due to a dear friend that has introduced me into the more raw jazz. I've always liked the smooth jazz stuff. But it's an aqui...

Viridian, I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have said something so harsh when you were just being humerous. I'm sorry and hope you can forgive me. My actions were unbecoming. I'm sorry to all that read this thread and hope you can forgive me. zman

I didn't know Johnny Cash played Dixieland Jazz. I guess you learn something new every day. 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ?
Stanwal, could you send me a link on that set. I'm very interested in the $16.95 price point. I'm not familiar with Rob Wassermann but I like the live unprocessed recordings that have just a couple of mikes on stage, and you get natural depth and ...

Riley, thanks for the search. I had found it on line but didn't know which volume to get. My player doesn't play sacds to there potential so I was looking for a red book. Viridian, I'm always glad to know there's still assholes left in the world. ...

High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
I just put my Hi-Fi Tuning fuse (10a SilverStar) in my Virtue2 and this is my first impressions. The first thing I noticed was the highs where much more extended. In a very smooth but detailed way. The second thing I noticed was the sound stage go...

Tom, I'm interested. Please give some info on the magnets. I'm also conserned about safty from damage to my amp with out a fuse.

Please be professional. 
High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
Very good responce Knownothing. I'm almost positive that there would be a better sound in an amp with a better fuse. I too have a treated room and can hear without a doubt, very subtle changes in power connectors (Porter Ports, Power cords,Dedica... 
Porter Port break in ?
Well, it may not be completely burnt in yet, but its not nearly as edgy as at first. Very 3 dimentional. I like it. 
High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?
Thanks Dodgealum, That puts a whole new view on the subject. I can't speak for anyone else but, if I'm to the point of rotating a fuse to get better or differant sound from my system, I've lost it.

Just giving you a hard time Mac. I know you can take it. I've seen alot of you responces in power cord threads and had to rib you a little. I do agree with you on the fact that after the first upgrade, the bennifits don't ballance out the cost. It...
