That's great that you're happy with your system. However, many users have written about the improvements they hear from audiophile fuses so if the topic interests you, you might want to do a little more research.

The only reason for me to try fuses is that I am dissatisfied with my sound I cannot say this. I love listening to my software with Bryston equipment. Bryston is the most honest company I have dealt with so I am a customer for life.
I couldn’t agree more with your comments regarding Bryston. I just like to ever so slightly improve on perfection if at all possible by a tweek here and there.

Believe me when I say that swapping out the fuses in my PS Audio BHK preamp and the mains fuses on the BHK 300 mono amps made a noticeable improvement. This is not a placebo effect to justify my purchase. I’ve spent good money on other so called upgrades that did absolutely nothing or even worse made my system sound worse.

It’s a disease I can’t shake looking for the best upgrade.

This is in the plans for me as well for my BDA-3. Care to post a pic once the new fuse is installed in your BDA-3 so that we can see which socket it was installed into, and also the orientation?

Hi Serge.....I’ll be ordering fuses next month. The fuse I’ll be changing in the BDA-3 will be the bottom one in the picture.

Current enters the fuse receptacle at the clips nearest the rear panel, if you are using the HiFi Tunning Supreme fuse the fuse arrow will point to the front of the unit. If you are using the Synergistic Research fuses the “R” will point to the front of the unit.

***CORRECTION***

If you are using the Synergistic Research fuses the “R” will point to the front of the unit.

Is it possible to go from a Smart TV with Tidal Installed -> BDA3 (HDMI) -> BP26 -> 4B3 -> Speakers?

I am not sure you can use a display as a source but for outputting sound from your TV set in HDMI. I think it would be easier to connect to the bda-3 via optical out from your TV. You would still control the TV and get sound from it but also from your hi fi system.

Sorry for my question. I did not realize you had multiple systems with very nice gear.
