To Wolf Garcia:
I have no significant dog in this hunt, but do wish to speak up and defend Frank (Oregonpapa). I had the luck of meeting with Frank, at his home, and hearing his fabulous rig. He was polite, well informed, has a huge eclectic music collection, and was a gracious host. I learned from his background what he did, and how he got involved in our hobby. He most certainly is not a shrill for a vendor, and has no vendor relationships. He purchased his fuse from the same dealer I purchased mine, in Apple Valley, CA. Frank is a man of modest means, but generous of spirit, and with his time and knowledge. I am glad to have met him, and simply wish to refute some of the personal attacks, which have no place in these forums, due to my direct interactions and personal observations. I have learned much about 40's and 50's music, swing, and great classical works, as well as jazz. At the end of the day, its about enjoying music, and how to best get there, and meeting friends, and being exposed to new ideas. I'm glad Frank has included some great suggestions on music on this long post. In my rig, the two SR black fuses made a nice, but modest improvement in allowing me to hear a bit deeper in the music.
Thanks, Frank...you are indeed a gentleman....always glad to hear your thoughts and opinions
Bob
