Charles ... you are always the gentleman in these discussions. David too. Its much appreciated by me, that's for sure.
This thread has become much more than just about fuses. Its morphed into suggestions about other tweaks, good music ... and above all else, mutual friendship among people who are music lovers first and equipment geeks a very distant second.
With the HFT room treatments, my mono records are sounding better than ever before. I've been digging through the archives and pulling out Benny Goodman, Tony Scott, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman and Pete Fountain. Some of these are really old, but in great shape. Some are on the old Brunswick Bakelite records instead of vinyl. They really do sound great.
What I really like about these old recordings is that they have that vintage sound like we hear in the old black & white movies of the 30's and 40's. Its nostalgia time for me, as my Mom used to take me to these movies when I was a kid. In fact, she's the one who instilled the love of music in me. Good literature too. This is why I find David's stories about his mother so inspiring. My mom would be 102 this year.
Hopefully, the "If you can't measure it, you can't hear it" guys will get a clue and join in on the fun being had here in this thread. This thread, in my opinion, is about the human aspect of this hobby.
Now, for a little more Woody Herman ...
