Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.

Well, if one gives up trying, then the enemy wins.

Czar,

I think there is a significant amount of truth in your assessment of the media and system in general which accounts for much of the USAs woes these days (ie maybe we’re not as great and perfect as we were taught to think as kids partly due to the dumbing down forces at play everyday) but remember that not everyone has been totally brainwashed yet so the good fights go on everyday in earnest as well as they pretty much have always at least as far back as I remember. The most important conflicts are often not fought with guns and bombs.   the good news is at least we have a system that supports freedom in many ways.  Nothings perfect.

"BTW, when I referred to cable effects essentially all being proportional to length I should make it clear that I was referring to power wiring."

Nice try but there is no such law as you seem to be implying.... That’s a Strawman argument by the way, I.e., a statement of "fact" intended to win the argument.   Perhaps you can commiserate with the defense electronics dude.

Well, the only kind of effect this defense electronics dude can think of that would not be directly proportional to length, in the case of power wiring or cables conducting analog signals, would be antenna effects, that may affect pickup or radiation of RFI/EMI. And even in that case, it would seem expectable that the antenna effects of a mains fuse (if any) would be swamped by the antenna effects of the much longer associated AC wiring. Also, FWIW, this defense electronics dude cannot envision a means by which the antenna effects of a fuse (if any) might be different depending on the direction in which it is inserted.

If its a contest between how many useful things I learn about from Almarg as opposed to geoffkait,  guess who wins?

You guessed it.   Perhaps the most one sided landslide victory in human history.  

But that's just my opinion of course....
