Outstanding! Give Bill my best. I look forward in reading your report after the player returns to your studio.

Happy Listening!

@dsper, 
 In regard to the fuse you were recommended,  flip the fuse in the other direction and compare. Usually one direction/position of the fuse will sound noticeably better than the other. A simple step but folks have noted the difference. Some hear  no different with trying better grade fuses. I do and apparently so does Pat at McCormack.

As above, in addition to an upgraded fuse providing a better Aural experience, hopefully,  an extra measure of critical protection as well.

Happy Listening!

I'll assume that you upgraded the Mains fuse with the Synergistic fuse ,
may I suggest that you replace the other 10 fuses with 
Bussman or Littlefuse ceramic fuses ( $2.00 @  ) .
When working on my DNA-250 I replaced all the glass fuses with 
the Bussman fuses and noticed an improvement well worth 
the $22.00 .  I purchased a Furutech fuse for the Mains
( 1/2 priced at $35.00 ) and compaired it to the Bussman ,  
yes the Furutech sounded better
BUT not that much better than a $2.00 Bussman .
