How would that power cord sound now that you've got the fuse?
This is the point that a lot of folks miss, and some of my friends fall into the category of folks who expect one upgrade to transform the entire system.
Nite and day transformations seldom occur as you move up the food chain in this hobby.
Things get to a certain level and the differences a single tweek like one power cord can make are not always game changing, so folks give up and cry snake oil.
I've found that you have to treat every component as eligeable for tweaking.
That means do all the fuses, do all the same upgraded power cords, IC, etc., and if you can run dedicated lines and use upscale power conditioning go for it.
I am especially pleased with the results when you isolate the cd player on it's own line.
There is less one dimensional, flat sound,you start to notice more distinctions around the instruments, more space if you will.
Tweaking the power cords and fuses then makes these upgrades more noticeable.
You get out of this hobby what you put into it.
If you really want to hear the music,all of the music, you need to make your components work the way they were designed to,at their optimum capacity.
You can't be complacent or lazy,just spinning some discs is fine,if all you want is a few minutes of musical entertainment.
When you sweat the details you reap the benefits and a few minutes turns into hours of musical bliss.
The better the system ,the less you feel like finding something to do as you listen.
The music takes over and demands your full attention, and that's not a hard thing for it to do when it's tweeked.
That's when the system as a whole sounds like you just replaced all the electronics with more expensive ones, when in fact all you've changed are some power products.
