Hi @dsper, 
My suggestion to flip the fuse direction/orientation is a simple step and a number of listeners note that one direction is better sounding than the other. I'm sure you're aware that some consider upgrade fuses utter nonsense. So be it. I've have heard definite improvement with Synergistic Research fuses in my audio system.

@tomthiel, though c-j never made any balanced gear, I would imagine that making  balanced eq's would be fairly basic engineering for someone with Bill Thalmann's chops.

Did Bill provide a turn-around time for the SCD-1 repair?

Happy Listening!

JA - change of plans. I got sticker shock for transport cost and risk and decided to deliver it to him when I visit my brother's family in Virginia within a few weeks. I'm taking a 3.5 EQ and schematics along too and pick each others' brains in general.

Good choice on not shipping the SCD-1. The original packaging is likely no longer suitable for shipping. The foam degrades with time and no longer can absorb the shocks in shipping.

I threw out my foam packing on the SCD-1 since it was crumbling. The unit will be with me until it no longer works.
