Just another Orange fuse thread


I have noticed that since the Orange fuse was introduced, a few threads have as usual popped up but what is bugging me is that they are closed as soon as they are started. Why is so? Is discussing about fuses so controversial that it gets the same outcome when sex, religion and politics are brought up in internet discussions? Is this because of a few rotten apples/trolls that derail the discussions that those threads are closed? If this is the case, that's very sad. Anyone here care to explain?

Thanks,

One thing is for sure...after market fuses are like red laser pointers here on the forum and we’re all a bunch of cats.
Listen to Paul McGowan of PS Audio talk about fuses in a Dec 13, 2017 video on PS Audio's website. He doesn't know how or why (nor do I), but he concludes that fuses can make a difference in sound and his company listens to the difference before selecting the fuses in its products.
In defiance of science, I have ordered the Orange fuses and will test them for myself.

Millercarbon is exactly right.  One has to learn to hear and how to listen.  The ability to hear soundstage, depth, and imaging is not innate; it is an acquired skill that must be learned.  This requires effort.  My friends who introduced me to audiophilia decades ago spoke of hearing just these qualities, leaving me wondering what the heck they where talking about.  With repeated listening sessions and much effort, I learned how to listen.  I happily and enthusiastically “graduated” upon my being able to appreciate the amazing depth of image in “Nights in White Satin” (MFSL 1/2-speed remaster of The Moody Blues’ “Days of Future Passed”, played through Accoustat 4s).  It’s been a great ride ever since then.  I am a skeptic individual, but I certainly trust my ears.

Enjoy the music.
I was a big skeptic till i tried a set of SR blue. I was scratching my head even more when the sound slightly changed when reversing direction. Its subtle but one direction is more detailed and fluid. Subtle effect, but its there. I was not alone, and few other friends could put their finger on differences. Honestly I didn't want the fuses to work so I would return them after satisfying my curiosity!! something about the whole vibe of SR screams snake oil lol. But they did things that i liked. More depth, more definition, enhanced separation, things felt quieter. Subtle but noticeable changes. Like changing cables kind of difference, not components change. Then after a while I upgraded all fuses to Orange. It felt like a more mature sound, things got even more fluid and relaxed without losing dynamics/speed. Vocals become more defined and sweeter. At that point I decided to get HFTs and FEQ X4 which i did got HFTs a month a go and FEQ just yesterday. mind blown right now, But would talk about that in its thread!
To be clear, not everything from SR is perfect. apparently not from first hand experience. In a friend's house, he has some SR expensive ethernet cable, forgot the model but it has that tuning thing to tweak the sound. We swapped vs my AQ diamond which i believe is one of the best ethernet cables on the planet, the SR sounded literally muffled, mushy and lifeless. That occasion was probably the biggest change i ever heard from swapping an ethernet cable. So yeah i don't think SR is a perfect company and until i try another cable of theirs, my idea about then is they are inferior. But i highly recommend their fuses to a friend. Same for HFT and FEQ!
