Fuses that matter.

I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.

Credence?

"Hmmmm...one wonders if Bryon Cunningham installed some of the fuses incorrectly during his recent testing of aftermarket fuses"

"I have lost faith in ANY tests of fuses unless the person performing the tests is already familiar with the difference in sound fuse direction makes"

"Well, I hate to judge before all the facts are in but I suppose there is some possibility that the unclean contacts masked the results of the fuse tests."

"Bryon is kind of an exception, since he cannot yet prove to himself that new fuses or fuse directionality are as important as everyone says"

"One camp has tried it and heard differences while the other camp hasn't and doesn't know one way or the other and you give more credence to the one that hasn't tried it?"

Yes. Absolutely.

The camp that doesn't know if/when a fuse will make a significant difference clearly indicates they do not know and point out reasons why the conclusions of those who have tried might not apply in all cases.

Those who are convinced get all up in arms when any facts that might dispute what they heard or think they heard are presented.

I do not say "think they heard" in any derogatory sense. One can only report what they think they hear. But the fact is that others may think they hear something totally different, even if in fact both are hearing the same thing. That is indisputable (I think)?

Yeah, that's indisputable all right, if you believe in pretzel logic.

GEoff, I suspect you are the master of that!

You are correct. I am the master of that, too.
