To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!


Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

You say you won’t come back to this thread.

I didn’t say that. I said that I will no longer discuss "this issue," i.e., whether or not energy and power flow.  And I didn't say that energy and power are not scalar quantities.

Energy, power, current, they all are part of the fuse vs no fuse discussion. You cannot separate them. As I said already, I am the only one present here who has experience with both the fancy fuse and no fuse cases. When you use low power components as I do, just in case no one picked up on it, battery-powered CD player, there is no need for a fuse, any fuse, there isn’t even a place to put a fuse if you wanted to. That’s the no fuse case. As opposed to the fuse bypass case which is yet another case.

A big shout out to the guys who got the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for inventing the Lithium battery last week. 🤡
I’d forgotten a conversation, months back, in which Geoff informed me, "energy is nothing." I mentioned that they’d just disproved Relativity and decided any further discussions with them, would be folly. Gotta work on my memory(my Physics is just fine)!
I’m sure you’re mixing me up with someone else. Never said it. Why would I say It? Why would anyone say it? I suggest you eat more fish 🐟 🐠 

As for your silly law of thermodynamics comment you might as well say, The sky is blue.
