High End Fuses?
You could take the fuse out and stuff a silver bar with rhodium coating over it and that would probably change the sound. Just make sure you do it when I am NOT around :) 
Jena Labs top of the line Speaker cables ??
I don't have the pathfinder but I do have the Valkyre and have listened to the pathfinder amany times. To my ears, if your system is up to the level they are simply the finest cables I have ever heard. I previously had Valhalla's and have demo'd a... 
higher end cd player
streetdaddy- If you mean the analog outputs of a DVD it does not input them. The only inputs it has are digital, that being said if your sattelite has a digital cable you could do both of them, just use optical on the DVD player and Coax digital o... 
higher end cd player
I am not positive but I think it has 3 inputs- optical, coax and AES/EBU and it may have an AT&T input as well but I can't say that for certain. Yes you can use it as a peramp to control volume on the inputs. 
higher end cd player
I agree with UncleJeff, the audio aero capitole II may not be the king of digital any more but for under $10k I think its hard to beat. And if you like tubey, dark soundstage and bloom the choice is pretty simple! The fellow who bought mine absolu...

Rogue M-120 to Atma-sphere MA-1 Mk.II.2?
Bill- Looks like you've been bitten hard! Your whole system just keeps changing. Like the other's have said I am not famaliar with the VR5's but if they are fairly effecient and don't drop below 4 ohms then you should be fine. Another amp that may... 
Vivaldi fans lend me your ears for a moment...
That's funny I have 2 different four season's and neither of them sound like that at all!! I guess I will have to try some of your suggestions. Are any of the SACD four season "good" there are so many versions of that particular piece of music its... 
SACD 2...for those who have not heard
Rumor has it from Audio Revolution, that SACDII is a rumor..... Let's wait till September to see what if any thing actually happens.. At this point ANY theory is just speculation based from a rumor. 
Who R U?
I know what your up to Dave, your trying to be the 500th, sneaky. :o) If its you that wins your getting Barry Manilow or something! lol 
Am I wrong?
Its really sad you get better service at Home Depot then you do from hi end audio. There are of course exceptions, classe and bryston come to mind. If in fact there are so few audiophiles out there- I agree with that statement- then they should do... 
Manley vs Wolcott for Innersound Eros
Jerie- Nice to see you, haven't seen a post from you in a year+! 
Magnepan ribbons problems
I am a big advocate for fuse bypass, but in a case like your get high quality fuse holders and fast blow fuses of the appropriate value. You should blow a fuse before you blow the tweeter.Have you ever replaced the tweeters or just repaired them? ... 
EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS
Bwhite- Romy has interfered with more then a few threads and essentially ruins them- I didn't want to see that happen again. Regardless of his knowledge of audio he approaches subjects the wrong way and I must admit I am sick and tired of it. You ... 
Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75
Louis- Wait a few months and the Tenor Hybrids will be available- stunning to say the least. I am very seldom blown away by a product but the hybrid tenors were just amazing, I've never heard sound like I have from those amps. There is a HUGE numb...
