FUSES, Finally!?

Transformers generate resonance as do all stationary  electronic signal parts and all moving parts. The fact that all your components are made of many metal and many more plastic types they all have a different resonance of shape and time..That interfering energy will become part of the sound of the device even if it is located out of the listening space. Most resonance is self generated. Tom

theaudiotweak2  Good Point!  BUT!  How would a fuse help curb vibrations?  I did notice that my newer amp of the same model (17 years difference) did use heavier metal all all around.  A couple of resistors per channel were changed, too, but Julius had already sent me the upgraded pair, when he modded my one blown channel that I sent him.  The actual problem turned out to be a bad XLR adapter.  DOH!

The more I read posts on what does or doesn’t matter sonically, the more I think it would be beneficial, for a lot of folks interested in how their gear functions, to take a basic course, or at least do some extensive reading on basic electricity including resistance, inductance and capacitance. Can’t hurt. 

Sure seems like it couldn’t hurt. Until you learn it, and then listen to a lot of stuff, and start to realize there’s a lot more going on. Then when you look around and see how many guys think that because they have learned a few terms like impedance they know how things work. There may come a point where an over reliance on looking at things from a technical point of view does way more harm than good. I reached that point decades ago, and the more time goes by and the more things I see the more sure I am its the correct view.

Just look at the above post. The OP danvignau started this thread a couple days ago. Instead of ordering some of the highly recommended SR Blue or Orange fuses and finding out for sure if they work or not he’s wasted a tremendous amount of time chasing down imaginary technical fantasies.

I say fantasy because the posts above are entirely in these guys heads. Not only are they imaginary, they are hypothetical! That’s literally what the word "if" means! Some guy proposed a simple test. But instead of actually doing the test they find it a whole lot easier to IMAGINE doing the test, and then IMAGINE all the long list of ASSUMPTIONS the false conclusion of which is - SURPRISE! - don’t need to spend money.

What a load of bull. Sorry. Imaginary bull. I’m imagining a big steaming pile like the one Jeff Goldblum stuck his arm into in Jurassic Park. A really big steaming pile of it.

The false assumption- there’s a lot of them by the way, only gonna tackle one - is that all these fuses do is the same as a dead short. A solid copper wire. Whatever. Why? Why is anyone dim enough to think this is all that’s going on?

I’ve got stuff that can be dabbed on any ordinary fuse that will make it a whole lot better. Synergistic fuses have a gray blob on there that they specifically instruct you not to remove. Is no one curious why the gray blob matters? Buy some of their outlets you will find the same gray goo blob on their outlet terminals.

There’s guys with way more experience than me, but even mine is enough to know there’s no such thing as a power supply so regulated to perfection that a power cord won’t make it even better. Well, if a power cord then why not a fuse? Sorry, said I wasn’t going to tackle any of the other false assumptions. Its just such a target-rich environment. Can’t help myself.

Anyway, should be more than enough here to show the time one can waste on techno-blather instead of doing what actually does work right here in the real world, trying stuff and listening to it.
