OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?

After reading the 1260 review and my QSA fuse revelation I am a believer the right tweeks make the most significant impact to sound enhancements for those of us that can’t afford or justify spending thousands on component upgrades. Tubes, cables, fuses now enhancer ordered.  Sound above it’s price point!

Its a joke HO HO!!

" No, I am not going to waste my money on something for which there is no reasonable explanation of function regardless of what anyone hears and I guarantee that I will loose a lot less money over time and have a much better sounding system because I’m spending the money on things that actually work like better cartridges, amps, speakers and test equipment."

There are a lot of folks on this Forum who, no different than you, have/are investing a lot of money on better equipment to get a better sounding system (check out the virtual systems). What is different is that they have found by listening vs testing that making investments in tweaks such as this provide further incremental benefits. They are not sacrificing one investment for the other. Maybe it is time to just agree to disagree, different approaches some are satisfied with listening while you and some others require testing. Come the end of the day what matters is which approach works for the individual making the decision, this isn’t life or death no one needs saving

tksteingraber by Jove I think you've got it! Once you have your basic system components then by far the best thing to do is to tweak it out with stuff like this. Haven't tried 1260 but pretty much every inch of my system is treated with something similar, and the QSA fuses are for sure a better use of funds than just about anything else you could do. Until someone comes along with something even better. Which they always do.  

At Chuxpona 21 https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-first-ever-chuxpona-is-a-wrap Brandon brought his Bel Canto power amp. Before hooking it up I treated all the tube pins with Total Contact. Later, when Brandon got home, he was floored and wondering why his amp sounded better now- until he remembered the TC treatment.  

That was just a few tube pins on just a few tubes. Imagine if we had done his whole system. Maybe we will, when I go there Saturday. Only takes a speck of the stuff after all. Mostly it is time to do it.  

Time, and effort. Congratulations tksteingraber for making the effort. Too many carp and opine without ever even trying. Welcome to the world of those who do. Say goodbye to the world of those who do not. Leave them behind, and never look back.
