Something of that issue, surely, may well be manifest in the situation described, and in the preferences expressed at the time and operative at home today, but I would not be inclined to say the situation was that ‘conundrum’ alone. Not all occasions of substituting the AHP fuse for a HiFi-Tuning fuse have been preferred, but the majority of substitutions have resulted in the use of the AHP in preference. Pure silver wire, that is, not silver-plated copper wire, has not been comprehensively removed from the system, though the instances of use are few, with but the digital interconnect, Audio Note AN-Vx, alone ‘surviving’ among the interconnects. Someone has suggested to me that the AN-Vx on digital duty, between transport and DAC, will be improved by using a comparably priced copper digital interconnect. That may or may not prove so to us. Simple prescriptions have not worked for us. And, there is a pitfall of spending too much time testing the prescriptions, the exceptions, the permutations, etc. When I have erred in this regard, a line has been thrown and a most valuable perspective offered.
