BAT amp users - any fuse recommendations?
I put on (6) HiFi Tuning Silverstar in my BAT Vk-600se, the difference  compared to OEM fuses was apparent but not that spectacular. I talked to Victor Khomenko and he was not recommending the use of after-market fuses ...  
power cord affects on video?
Based on my experience, a good quality power cord would definitely improve image quality. Be aware, what sort of AC plug is used. Rhodium or Silver AC plugs (with better emphasis on high frequency!) will surly enhance the details, resolution, 3D e...

The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech
@richardhk- AQ NRG-4 has multiple noise dissipation layers, it would be a better choice than 3xNRG1.5. Power cord built up against RFI is more important than purity of its copper conductor.  - IEC Rhodium is not a bad idea. I also tried IEGO 8085 ...

I use IEGO (Gold) male and Furutech Fi-28 Gold IEC on my solid core power cords used on BAT vk-600SE, Einstein The tube MKII and Mcintosh CD player, with a great result. My experience with IEGO Silver (Male/IEC) as well as IEGO Gold IEC, was not e... 
Garrad 401 service expert in San Francisco Area
Dan,  I looked at 1877phono cables and seems to be a fine cable especially with their Graphen sheilding.  There are very expensive cables but I always ask myself if their high-tag prices are really justified. After trying some, I became very cauti...

Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps?
Ozzy, I don't have any experience on DS-4, but I used Alpha3 which is non-shielded PC. I tried several big brands power cords and ended up to make my own PCs and some for my friends. For front-end devices, I would recommend the Neotech NEP...
