Fuses fuses fuses

For Al: perhaps the greatest phrase ever uttered by a lawyer was, "If the glove doesn't fit you must acquit."

@almarg 

Al, are you making a run for this year's Nobel for Patience? Just wanted to warn you, I think that they retired it and gave it to Ralph in perpetuity. But good luck, anyhow.

... you haven’t really read the HiFi Tuning data sheets very carefully, have you? 😛

The answer to that should be clear to those who have read one of my posts that I referenced here on 7-13-2017. That being the first of my posts dated 5-14-2012 in the "Fuses That Matter" thread, which appears near the middle of this page.

My response to your (silly) argument concerning precision of measurements, answer me this: why do the (small) measured differences ALWAYS correlate with the listening tests?  

0.000038 ohms doesn't correlate with anything (except perhaps for Mr. Modjeski's butterfly), and furthermore would be completely swamped by countless other factors, one of which I alluded to in item (e) of my post earlier today. I don't mean to be insulting, but anyone with a basic understanding of electronic design knows that.

Regards,

P.S:  Thanks, Terry.  No problem if they've given the award to Ralph in perpetuity.  He's definitely earned it, over many years.

I’ve already wrapped up the Nobel Prize for Patience. Al might be in the running for the Density prize however. That one’s a very close race, though, Al and Atmosphere are neck and neck. Listen, all kidding aside, this is not rocket science. If you doubt small differences in resistance for fuses are audible, then I suggest you roll up your sleeves and get to work on something you might understand better than fuses - cables. That’s right cables.

Since all wire is directional, cable are directional, too, right? As far as I can tell no one has signed in and refuted that so I guessing one of the usual jokers must be thinking to himself, gee, I don’t know, what if he’s right? All you need to do is measure the difference in resistance of any unshielded cable, measuring from end A to end B and then vice versa - speaker cable, interconnect, whatever. Could be Radio Shack, I don't care. Anti Cables speaker cables would be a good candidate since they’re something everyone can understand and everyone can see, since they’re not shielded or covered with a jacket. See how simple I’m making it? Now, you tell me, is there a difference in resistance one way to the other. Final exam: what does that difference mean? Extra credit: are the Arrows on Anti Cables there just to lure gullible audiophiles?

INTERMISSION

Let's give the naysayers a moment to reload.

Smoke if ya got em.
