The guru on fuses:

For two years, I have asked why and how fuses could possibly matter. All I got was arguments of faith, pro or con. I needed a real audio guru who actually knows. Here is a link from John Curl’s discussion on Parasound’s website. He engineered and designed some some great equipment, including some Mark Levinson gear, The Grateful Dead’s 30 plus McIntosh amp powered Wall of Sound, and his admittedly, somewhat price compromised Parasound designs. He discusses the electrical properties of standard fuses, showing how they are compromised. The entire article is quite enlightening, but to skip to the fuse section, go to the bottom half of page 6. https://www.parasound.com/pdfs/JCinterview.pdf

When the longitudinal wave of a bending wave speaker hits any boundary the wave becomes a shear wave with 2 polarities at least 1 of the polarities will be returning and interfering with the next wave launch.

This same interference displays the same return on a record thru the vinyl and surface. Shear constantly moves between the paper label center and record lip.

The stylus plays the recording and the returning echoes are mixed with the music the stylus must translate but not totally..Another incidence of interfering energy. There are a couple of devices I see reducing the interference. Tom

Jesus Tom, you had me waste half an hour reading all this bending wave speaker stuff only to learn at the very end this borderline magical technology is 86dB at 2.8 ohms. In other words, useless.

Oh well, at least I learned something. Unlike these other boobs you are wasting your time with here. They never learn anything. Why do you bother? All the cool stuff you're talking about, right over their heads. Oblivious as Drax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLttd33j-GQ
They are not worth your time. Not even.

I have read your posts Miller, unlike you, people, like actual professional people in the music industry, come to me when they want to learn. Real things, like actual things that happen, not made up stuff. You keep up with that delusion. maybe between you and tweak you can figure out that bending wave speaker ..... but I doubt it.

bad2design how about a fix for the dispersal of shear that is inherent by scripture on any piece of vinyl.
Ask your digital fixit clan how to recognize that and what there digital correction maybe on a record play back before and after the shear wave reaches the stylus and generates interfering energy?

Missed a few days, thought I'd check out how it's going. Looks like I didn't miss anything - people still insulting others over a stupid little fuse. 

danvignau...Are you happy now? When you saw how this thread was going why didn't you put it out of its misery? Don't bother responding I'm not going to read it.

Fuse threads are what cancel culture was designed for.
