Dave, let me put it this way. The best way to get repeatable results is to understand what you're doing and what you're changing. And it's obvious to me that if I wanted to duplicate the results of those who have heard audible improvements . . . then a great place to start would be by gathering information on what has been observed by others, no?
As far as the price thing goes, I don't think $39 for a big improvement is outrageous. But should your technical skills ever progress beyond mere fuse-swapping, you will see that there are literally thousands of tiny details in your equipment where you can apply a "cash infusion" . . . and if you like to dork around swapping parts inside your electronic equipment, guided only by your whimsey and credo, without any real knowledge of what you're doing . . . my friend, it is YOU who is the "techno weenie".
But I'm still interested in knowing details from those who have heard improvements, and that aren't too dogmatic to coherently describe their experiences.
