I did not find Georgie to be so demeaning. I agree with him, and have already done what he suggested, more tahn once over the years. For other skeptics, google, The Skeptic magazine's article, Audiophoolery. One of my favorite heretical statements in it concerns burn in time: Why do salespeople recommend three months for a componentsto burn in? 90 days is how long your credit card company gives you to get a refund for a scam. I only ask because Paul of PS Audio said he heard a difference. My other issue is that I do not have immense surges of power, because the Apollo Moon Mission rocket scientist who designed, manufactured, and service my electronics uses a NASA computer chip to regulate the four 26,000 mf NASA caps per channel as they fill. This might preclude the necessity of better power cords or fuses. The amps will play at medium volumes for a minute or more, after the NASA breakers are turned off. There does not seem to be a needed for a rush of power for immense surges. Anyone???
