No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?

As with so-called "climate science," these days a "model" is nothing more than a model. They are never anything more than a theory competing with other theories. Come on in - the water is fine.

@secretguy ,

So because it didn't improve your system, it can't possibly work for anyone else?

I'm glad you think it worked.

I recently purchased a pair of MC451's and am very happy with them.  Being somewhat new to the HiFi arena, I am now starting to hear and learn about 'tweaks'.  Of course I want to believe that all of these little things help because after all, we are all chasing better sound!  My question is, (and I have not formed an opinion if fuses help or not) why wouldn't Mcintosh who is playing in a super competitive market, install their own 'special' fuse if they thought it would improve the sound?  Why would they knowingly send out an inferior product if they know that the fuse is a weak link in the chain?  Mac definitely has the wherewithal to test their products and could make a small change like a fuse!  

Since Verafi‘s Swiss Fuse Box audiophile fuses have become an anachronism. The demonstrable benefits of ‘no fuse’ have simply put paid to the concept to the point where one has to wonder when serious audio manufacturers will move to circuit breakers rather than fuses. And as a nice side effect the ridiculous price gouging by fuse manufacturers will fade into memories of the past
