Upgrading Fuses
They work, but it will depend on the resolution of your system to determine just how big an improvement you'll experience. Expect to be disappointed for the first few days as they, like anything, need some time to break in. I kept my system on for... 
Do you understand your amplifier?
I don't understand my amp so much as I think I understand the rational behind it as presented by the maker. Same for my speakers, cables, source, etc.I also tried to 'match' them as such and I think I did a pretty good job. 
Can Redbook CD Be Saved
Taking care to improve the quality of a CD recording and mastering would go a long way towards keeping it alive and well. Wasn't there a kind of HD series of CDs some years back that used the extra, unused portion of that last bit that went some w... 
What did you own in the 60's?
A transistor radio. 
Are the CD'S days numbered?
Lloydelee21,Here's to hoping that the labels 'better angels in nature' see the potential and market for this. I've got a Trent Reznor NIN remastered CD that goes a long way towards making it listenable. There are so many CDs out there, begging for... 
Are the CD'S days numbered?
My only fear is that there will be an attendant loss of QC in the making of CDs as the demand lessens. There are so many poorly made ones out there that no DAC can rescue no matter the pedigree. That's not to say that they're aren't any great ones... 
Red Wine 30.2 Power amp

What is the best way to ship 35 lbs. to Germany?
Insert 'laugh' here. Caught me off guard. 
Hearing loss tied to high cholesterol
Based on that article I should be deaf by now. Actually my good cholesterol counters my bad cholesterol so my hearing is just fine. Its my weight that shows the results. 
The Physics of Electricity
There is a difference. I can't explain it but I can hear it.So there. 
What does it take to have a revealing system?
A lack of modesty. 
My love of music is killing me.
As others have said, please seek professional help. The music you shared that now brings pain can be turned around but it will take time. The association is so strong that you'll need to channel it to someone who can guide you and absorb your loss... 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
Blkadr:That reminds me of the deadliest joke in the world from a Monty Python sketch."My dog had its nose bitten off yesterday.""How does he smell?" the friend asked."Awful!" 
Where to use Isolation devices
I use Herbie;s Tenderfeet under everything I have except my Burson integrated. It has a thick and heavy case (6mm) that not only serves as the heat sink but is so effective at isolation that it makes the Tenderfeet a moot point, otherwise, I'd use... 
Rogue Audio M 180 fuse upgrade
By all means, you can replace your fuse with a better made one but it has to be of the same value and rating.
