Quick and free fuse tweak

If you’re hard-core enough to be concerned about the sound of fuses, consider eliminating them altogether, as ARC does on the power tubes in their amps. When Ric Schultz at EVS was modifying the Audible Illusions Modulus 2 pre-amp, he offered that option.

The other way to eliminate the heartbreak of fuses is to do as I did and go to a portable battery powered CD player like a Sony Walkman or Panasonic made in Japan 🇯🇵 CD player. There are many other advantages to going portable. A free prize to the first person to name four.

-ability to listen to music of your choice in more places
-less bulk at home, facilitating Feng Shui
-more free time for more useful activities as a result of minimal options to change and upgrade system parts
-decreased probability of damage to the equipment due to weather-related electrical supply/connection abnormalities

"A free prize to the first person to name four."

If the prize is not free, it should be called merchandise.

Does the tape really have to be cream colored?

Actually egg cartons REALLY do work well, at least in a pro audio situation.
When we converted half of my garage in England back in early 80,s to a practice room/ recording studio it always sounded hollow and harsh.
I read somewhere at the time of applying egg cartons to walls and ceilings for acoustical treatment on the cheap.
I used to get the wholesale size 24 count square trays not the carton. 4 large head short roofing tacks and it did not take long to fully line the walks and ceiling.

What a massive transformation!

I still have some demo cassette tapes we cut in that room and they still sound good to me.

So although that poster may have been joking( I hope!). I can state they worked wonders in our situation.
