Last night's listening session was simply amazing. These guys were in the listening room:

The Purple fuse threads remind me of the elevator business. Up. Down. Up. Down. :-) Thanks for putting this one back up. Frank  
Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
Just try to get the best from what you already have before moving on. You may discover that there is no need to move on. Frank

ozzy ... No, I haven't. I have a couple of tubes of TC left and haven't tried that either. I know that some folks here are using the NPS-1260 and like it a lot. The problem is, I have TC everywhere except for the new fuses.  Frank

mijostyn ... Your post was unbelievably insulting to Ted and your fellow A’goners who are enjoying SR fuses. Mike ... You have a beautiful system. Your Soundlab speakers are among my all-time favorites. All of your components are top-notch. Your... 
Spam as far as the eye can see!!
MC ... I know, these youngins today are a bunch of slackers. I instilled a good work ethic into my kids by making them hike across shag carpeting in order to change the channel on the eleven-inch, round-tube TV. When I was a kid, "my" TV was in t...

andypandy "Thanks for that very in-depth analysis Frank, but it doesn’t tell me the shift in overhaul tonality if your system becomes more etched or darker, etc." Andy ... We are talking about moving beyond "etched or darker," and moving into ...

andypandy ... Thanks for the question, and welcome to the forum. As my system continues to evolve, there is more body to the music. Take guitars for instance. Not only are the sound of the strings being plucked in evidence, but the sound of the ...

ebm >>> So, in your world view, is there no room for future progress and innovation? Look around ... the auto showrooms are not full of Ford Model Ts. Have you seen the new Corvettes? They're awesome.  Frank

Thanks to whoever brought this thread back. The three SR Purple fuses in my system are fully broken in at this point. They replaced three SR Orange fuses that were being used before. The sound has never been better. I compared the SR Orange, th... 
How do you decide what your next upgrade will be?
Instead of thinking about upgrading equipment, think in terms of how to improve what you already have. Think in terms of room treatments, reducing micro-vibrations, and cleaning up your AC power. Done right, these things will get you off of the eq... 
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I have no problem with honest debate and I abhor censorship. Where I draw the line is when a poster slams a product without ever trying it, and in effect, becomes an arsonist in an attempt to burn a small business down. I realize that it may be un... 
If a " system " cannot do this, I move on........
"What I listen for, most of all, with every recording I listen to, is an engagement between me, and the performers."   Excellent analysis by someone who really knows what to listen FOR.  Frank
