With a full complement of the prototype fuses in use now, the system is sounding better than ever. It is hard to believe that a home stereo in an average-sized living room could perform like this. It is truly mind-boggling.
Mister Golden Ears is scheduled to arrive at nine in the morning for a listening session. He knows the system almost as well as I do. We'll see what he has to say. Plus, at some point, we will be replacing two of the prototype fuses with the QSA Yellow fuses to compare.
By the way, I haven't told Mister Golden Ears anything about the prototype fuses. As far as he knows, the system is still outfitted with a full complement of SR Orange fuses.
The last time he was over, I was just breaking in the first QSA Yellow fuse in the line stage. He heard the abnormalities in the midrange too, so we swapped out the fuse with the SR Orange fuse that was previously in the line stage ... and the music came back into focus like before. And yes, I did try the QSA Yellow fuse in both directions, so that wasn't the problem.
Stay tuned ...
