Well, got the "fuse holder" from Jolida, and of course, it wasn't the same as the old one (actually it was better with a metal screw top), so figured I would see how much it would cost get it put in. Quote was $75 a hour for labor. Which is way to much for just replacing a fuse holder. But at the same time I figured since my amp is 10 years old it might be a good time to upgrade/replace the caps and resistors, since the tech would be "under the hood", anyway. Well $231 and a week later, the amp is back in the system along with Virtual Dynamic Power 3 cord. Listened to some music last night, and what I heard was pretty much what I said earlier but with the amp itself sounding much better (surprising what a "tune up" will do).
I think my system is getting to sound as good as it's going to get (which is quite good to my ears, and I'm looking forward to hearing what it'll sound like after everything gets "burned in"), to get better (and not just different) I would probably have to invest into a higher level of components/speakers.
