Samsung flat screen TV’s
One of the two HDMI ports on my Sharp 55" failed after a year or so use! This is fixable - and apparently a common problem! At least I still have one port still usable! 
So done with audiophile fuses
Contact enhancer! Will that be mustard or mayonaisse on that fuse? 
Classical music listening... what is a better source High Rez or Vinyl?
The LP is basically 1899 technology! Emile Berliner invents the flat disk with a spiral groove read by a stylus! In 1948 groove size is reduced along with rotational speed (CBS Labs in Stamford, CT). The modern LP is born! 
All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?!
YAWN! 
Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms
I own two vintage FR arms: a 29 and a 54! Both still 100% functional! No compelling need to "upgrade" them! 
Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms
Leave it alone! It's internal wiring will not wear out! Don't fall for the false belief that replacing the wiring will result in somehow "better" sound!  
Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms
A well-made tonearm like a FR will be working fine into the next several centuries! Just don't use it as a hammer! 
Arrows on cables.
Flip a coin! Wire directionality is complete NONSENSE! 
User Error Disaster
Buy another one on eBay for a few hundred!

Tekton Moab will kill these for 1/3 the price!

Yeah, a real bargain at $15K! LOL! 
So Hard to Decide on an Amp
russ69 and lewm: I'll bet that the Crown XLS-1502/2502 "pro" amps sound as good as any four-figures "audiophile" amps!  
Do Banana Plug Adaptors Degrade SQ?
Monoprice bananas are excellent! I use 'em! I hear NO difference between brands! You can make your own bare wire-to-banana adapters with a few inches of some single-strand copper hook-up wire (18 - 22 awg). I have done this myself! NO effect upon SQ! 
Silver Head Shell Leads
Worrying about the type of wire used! Copper vs. silver? You guys need a new hobby! That and a recommendation to stay out of the sun!  
Ground Wire
Connecting the two ground posts may not work! The RCA ICs should be enough for grounding between the phono stage and the integrated amp. You can try it any way - let us know the result!
