Best fuses for under $50?
There are some out there.  Some Bryston amps use a switched circuit breaker instead of fuse (not the same as power switch).  The Emotiva Gen 3 amplifier uses a push-button circuit breaker..  Oppomod actually adds a 2A circuit breaker instead of a ... 
Best fuses for under $50?
I am actually frustrated reading these posts.  Please do not insult others because they think different.  You may believe that fuses make absolutely no difference.  You are welcome to write that opinion, but dropping down to calling people names b... 
blu-ray audio
You might get 24/48 audio (which is what most blurays are produced at), but it will be 2-channel stereo.  This is most likely the 2-channel stereo audio track on the bluray that can be used for Dolby Pro Logic surround decoding.  Multi-channel aud... 
New Surrounds On Wall
Yes, that should be fine.  Sometimes you are limited by your room. ;) 
Best fuses for under $50?
What is your entire set of equipment, including cables?  Basically, two options.  Choose the Isoclean if you want a nice but little warmer sound.  Choose Furutech if you want high resolution and deep tight bass.  Careful on the Furutech as it is v... 
New Surrounds On Wall
If you do not yet have surround speakers in your system, I would recommend mounting them on the side walls as close to your listening position as possible.  Most movies have the left/right side surround channels mixed in.  It is intended for sound... 
Mini dsp what's the deal
I agree with Eric on his points. I think you should be able to run the mini-dsp from the second set of pre outs.I would highly recommend finding an external linear power supply with a good size capacitor bank. The mini-dsp comes with a wallwart, w... 
Most important feature in desktop DAC/Amp : Mixer
I have two computers that I need to hear alerts from at the same time.Rane MLM82a stereo line mixer. I have the 1999 version which uses all through-hole components. Upgraded all op amps, feedback caps, custom power supply. lol. Now I’m using a pas... 
Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
Yes, the Music Hall is still very sparse.  You need to take that single circuit board and chop it in half.  The left side is the power supply, DAC and I/V stage for the digital inputs.  The right side is the power supply, DAC and I/V stage for the... 
Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
I took a quick look at your Anthem MRX 710 AVR.  If you are wanting an analog CD player, make sure to set the "Process Analog Audio Input" to NO and "Anthem Room Correction" to NO.  This will disable any digital processing and do a pure analog "pa... 
Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
Yeah, the Music Hall is VERY sparse internally. In addition, they have two completely separate DAC chips, I/V stages and clock sections. They are probably thinking that the Burr Brown sounds better for 16 bit CD source and the Wolfson does better ... 
Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
Based on work I have done with the XDA-2 DAC, I would say that the output buffer of the ERC-3 is fully balanced.  However, it is difficult to say for sure if it is fully balanced from the DAC chip and I/V stages.  https://emotiva.com/sites/default... 
Marantz sa 8005
Looks like you are limited to 48khz with compressed files and 16/48 for linear PCM files because those are the only formats the device will "play".  It will not play 24/96 or 24/192 data files form CD or USB memory stick.  See page 67-68 of the ma... 
Low-Profile (Right-Angle), High-Quality 15A cable for PS Audio P3?
If you can you some DIY, look at the Furutech FI-12ML(R).  It's a right-angle rhodium plated male plug.  You can get it for around $100. 
Crossover for music and movies
There are two ways that a movie DVD/bluray will play bass (depending on how it is mixed/engineered).  Sometimes bass effects will come from the left/right channels.  In that case, they will be sent to your left/right speakers if you have set your ...
