Audio Research REF 75SE and REF 80S
Anyone out there have actual listening comparisons to share?   
Does anybody use the Vinyl Flat record Flattener?
I purchase a lot of new vinyl from Amazon.  I know it isn't their fault but the pressing industry puts out a LOT of warped product lately.  My theory is they are in too big of a hurry and removing too quickly, but really have no idea why it is so ... 
What is your favorite album cover?
Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um 
Pure analog system with high power
@adversamTo continue on rfnoise's promotion of Audio Research, I am going to give my whole story to emphasize how much I love their sound.  There are sooo many choices and my experience is very limited, but I am a huge fan and went through this pa...

Van MorrisonLatest Record ProjectI love Van....he even signed the insert : )I can listen to his music for hours, it embodies all that I love in music 
How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?
I am 49 and got into vinyl for the first time about 15 years ago.  My buying criteria was let's say not too selective in the beginning....lol.  I was simply so excited to be spinning records and loving every moment.  The past 5 or so years I have ... 
Anyone else upset about new Audiogon policies?
I am not currently selling anything. Last year was a big buy/sell year for me. In my experience when I was selling I rarely needed to re-list. If you know your market and product and price correctly it will often sell in the initial 30 days. Some ... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
It seems like a very poor business strategy.  Most, I would say 99.9% of the people would want to replace a fuse in their gear with a matching rating.  This is what any MFG is going to recommend as they should.  It simply doesn't make sense to me.... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
@arizonabob Maybe you skimmed quickly...you did miss the point.  Read again and see if you have any feedback.

@big_greg     what do you think?  I am a huge TP fan and read a review that Lucinda really did an injustice.  The album isn't on Amazon HD for me to stream so haven't listened yet.   
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
@pauly no issues otherwise(knock knock).  This was simply a tweak/experiment.  The stock 5A fuse works as expected. 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
@auxinput     I did get the correct SLOW blow fuse so this was not the issue.  I value what the MFG recommends.  They advised me to never put a larger value fuse in any component as this is how the safety features are designed.  Seems some of us a... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
To stick with the MFG recommended rated fuse was my feeling and I am certain of this choice now.  I didn't intend for this thread to spark the debate of whether a fuse offers a sonic advantage.  I would like to know if all those high-end fuse love... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
Thanks, George....that is definitely what my gut says.  I am surprised the that this seems to be so commonplace.  I hadn't notices others talking about this when recommending SR fuses.  BTW, the dealer has been great, no pressure...they gave me th... 
Got a Node 2i, what's next?
@vinylzone     I cannot suggest a DAC, but simply to explore and you will find how nice hi-res streaming can be.  I bought an integrated last year that had a very nice built-in DAC as a bonus.  I also picked up the Node2i and sometimes the digital...
