Recently a friend was asking me…Is it worth paying $150 for one of those blue fuses?
Now thinking about it, memories are coming back as flashbacks of when I bought my first ‘HI-FI’ stereo system; was 18 years ago when I joined the audiophile world and started this roller coaster ride. Will be almost impossible to remember every piece of equipment I have try or listen to in all these years. Working for an audio retail/importer company designing and installing systems exposed me to some expensive gear, then helping one of the small importers of boutique audio products in the country introduced me to a lot of cool things: valves, fuses, footers, tweaks, etc. Wasn’t to long before I was hook doing DIY, cables, power supplies and modifying, testing and trying anything I could think of...then it came the vinyl addition and so on…
When you really get to play and test a lot of good audio equipment you understand that the small differences/improvements are more related to synergy and placement (room/power) of the components, rather than the equipment by itself. As of today I can not think of any other product than has made such an impact as the TC/e-Mats combination has done to my stereo system…No little or different, the positive impact has been dramatic, and the improvement way beyond any other product I have try until this day.
My sincere recommendation if you want to bring out the best and true potential of what you already own.
