I have an Adcom GFA 535 power amplifier that I think sounds very fine.
I've read some discussions around the Web by people who say that
changing the standard glass fuses in the amp's two power supplies to
ceramic or something made a world of sonic difference. I know Isoclean
and others make such fuses claiming to improve performance.

Is this at all true, or is it another marketing gimmick to sell
things?

Thank you.

Next time a fuse blows, consider your options. In the meantime, enjoy
your amp!

Note that Stephen lacks what it takes to say the obvious - that fuse tweaks,
particuarly on the power supply side, are utter ********.

I already pointed it out. BTW Stephen, this time was this more due to your
ignorance of audio, your well-known cowardice, or your well-known preference
for music with audible noise and distortion added by the LP format?

Yes, poor pitiful ssshhhieee wants the group limited to insults
and childish rants and claims of his omnipotence.

Meanwhile his democrats keeps stumbling over each in
pledge of surrender faster than the next guy.
It's getting really pathetic when of their candidates, only
Joe Biden has shown any reasonable position.

http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pb...30358/-1/ENT05

The other interesting note here and I wonder why no one
ever brings it up...is that the caucus format doesn't begin
to represent real Iowans. It's hard to even find a poll of Iowa
that isn't currently limited to likely caucus voters.
