Fuse : Voltage ratings
Both Fast and Slo-Blo are available, in all of HI-FI Tuning's versions. ( http://www.partsconnexion.com/fuse_hifituning_main.html ) YES- NEVER replace a Fast-Blo fuse with a Slo-Blo. Damage to your equipment could easily result. 
Fuses that matter.
I think it interesting, that various fuses measure differently, when their direction is reversed: ( http://www.partsconnexion.com/prod_pdf/hft_facts.pdf ) No- I have not personally experimented with reversing my HI-FI Tuning fuses; being quite sat... 
Witch vinyl LP , EP or single you acquired FIRST?
'Are You Lonesome To-Night?'(yeah-Presley) 45 RPM single version. 
the natural sound of a cymbal
Mr T: Another excellent recording(re: cymbals), is the original Columbia(CS8192) 'Time out'. I've still got a pressing from 1971, that captures Joe Morello's(may he rest in peace) silky Zildjian cymbals beautifully(especially on 'Take Five'). 
the natural sound of a cymbal
A good man knows his own limitations, but IS NOT stupid enough to assume everyone else has the same. The very first recording mentioned(Sheffield Drum Record); includes in it's liner notes the differences one can hear ON THE RECORD(or CD), between... 
Cartridge Compliance
Perhaps this site will give you more data on yout cartridge: (http://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_database.php?m=Dynavector&t=mc&mod=17D3&sort=1&Search=Search&sty=&ovlo=&ovhi=&can=&dclo=&dchi=&stid=&...

the natural sound of a cymbal
Are you looking for the sound of(let's say) Paiste, Sabian, Meinl, Zildjian or Wuhan? Further: If Meinl(for instance), their Classic, HCS, MCS, Candela, Generation X, etc. Series of cymbal? Every brand, and all their individual cymbal lines, will ... 
Impressions of PS Audio GCPH
Hello again Mr D- I checked both the manual that came with my unit, and the site(url) that I posted. Both have pics of the GCPH. My manual(15-044-11-1) does not mention anything about discrete or Class A anything. I suppose the blurbsheet(url) I p... 
Impressions of PS Audio GCPH
I agree, regarding the X-former location. Ideally; the entire power supply would be in a separate chassis, but- we ARE talking about a sub-K unit here. I know that discrete use of TI's EMI/RFI shielding can make a marked difference, within the uni... 
Impressions of PS Audio GCPH
I've experienced no noise problems at all with the GCPH. That's set at it's highest gains, inputting a Dynavector 17D3(.3mV output), with SR's Tricon Analog phono leads. I run my TacT 2.2X at 99.9 and use the GCPH volume control, which is generall... 
x-tronic 4000 soldering station
Mr K- Absolutely NOT the kind of thing I want, hanging in the air about my soldering station. In this first reference; they mention that Teflon begins off-gassing toxic particulates at 464, and emitting six toxic gases at 680 degrees F(plus a few ... 
x-tronic 4000 soldering station
Mr K- Actually; I've never seen any recommendations regarding temps, from WBT. I started using Wonder Solder about 15 years ago, and found it worked wonderfully at lower temps than I was used to. To me; that was desirable, as dielectrics(like Tefl...
