Cables for Active Speakers
I use Evidence Audio ‘Lyric HG’ cables for my active speakers. They are a high end pro audio cable, but at the price of lower end Hifi cables. They are great cables, I find them superior to other pro cables like Mogami and van damn, but quite rigi... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Has anyone compared the Cerius Damping squared interconnects to Acrolink cables, particularly the expensive Mexcel ones? 
Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player
Thanks for your thoughts jimski and nice system you have. I might consider the 3.0 upgrade at some stage in the future, but I’m very happy with the 2.0 at the moment.

@tsushima1 The AG500 uses a 10A(T) fuse and looking at the pic of the back panel of the AG1500 it seems to also use a 10A.

@hifiman5 it’s a power inspired AG500. Great unit with on board UPS. The only downside is it’s outputs are IEC, so you need to get rid of your mains plugs and buy some IEC’s and terminate them or use standard male to female IEC cables.

@uberwaltz.Yeah it’s great that a money back guarantee is offered and I’ve only read about a few people who’ve returned the black or blue fuses. The first black fuse I tried was in my power Regenerator and that was the single biggest fuse gain I’v...

One of my black fuses is back in my old Dac which might be used in a second system eventually if I can find somewhere to set it up properly.The other black fuse is back in its box. Some of the black coating has dislodged a bit due to the fuse hold...

I received my second Blue fuse a few days ago and put it into my Dac, replacing the SR Black fuse.Image width and instrument acoustic space are the immediate things that I noticed to be better with the blue and black fuses. Bass is tighter with th...

They are addictive aren’t they Frank. Acoustic space around instruments is the Blue’s biggest gain over any other fuse I’ve tried, including the blacks.

I’ve just ordered another Blue fuse, this time for my Dac to replace the Black fuse. This will be good to do a direct comparison between the 2.Anybody else any further tests or trials with the Blue fuses? 
Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player
I’ve had my Cantata 2.0 since July. It’s a great machine. I’m only using CD and also the optical in from Tv.I was delighted to hear that an upgrade was possible and the above posts are the first I’ve read on the Cantata 3.0. It must be something s...

The Deoxit I use is the tiny tube of red oil you apply to contacts.I use Isopropyl alcohol and a gold jewellery cleaning cloth beforehand to polish the connections once or twice a year.Be aware not to use the Isopropyl on the SR fuses as it will r...

Thanks for the explanation Frank. I might order some in the near future. I’m currently just using deoxit on my fuses and contacts.

Just on the SR Blue fuses again, mine has about 100hrs on it as it’s left powered up all the time. Did a bit of listening today and my system sounds great. Addictive.

This new TC sounds interesting. What does it look like when applied? Does it leave any mess on contacts if you choose to remove it? If it improves greatly at the 8 week point, is this because it cures and dries fully at this stage?Thanks Matt
