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!

All I know is after blowing a SR Blue 5A fuse in my 5A amp rated amp (ARC VSI75), I blew two more, 6.3 amp blue fuses after about the same 210 hours of usage....I like what it did but....no more...put a new stock fuse in and it seemed alot better then the 2 year old stock fuse.....

>>>>>Undoubtedly it’s because you inserted the new stock fuse in the correct direction, accidentally, whereas the 2 year old stock fuse was in the wrong direction, accidentally. What are the odds? And it’s not even broken in yet. 😬

I, jea48, said no such thing! The above quote is not mine!
@cleeds, what page is the said quote on?

@ Roberttcan, if you posted that quote I suggest you delete/remove it immediately.

@ cleeds, if you placed my username on the quote, shame on YOU!
@jea48, what I pasted into my post was from content posted by @roberttcan. His post has since been been deleted - apparently by the moderators - along with a bunch of other posts by @roberttcan. I’m sorry if he misquoted you. He caused a lot of headaches for people in this group and it looks as though the moderators have deleted his account.

I don’t "invent" quotes from others. If you read my posts, you’ll see I’m pretty thorough about pasting exact quotes, and don’t typically paraphrase what others are saying. This post that concerns you is an example of just that: I quoted roberttcan accurately. That’s easy to do when you cut and paste!

Then you won’t have any problem with deleting your false post in question.
Pardon me, but my post wasn’t false in any way: It accurately quoted roberttcan. You’ve now set the record straight that he misquoted you. Thank you for that.
It would be a sad thing if your post in question was used to promote your Beware the audio guru. thread and demean my character in the process.
I don’t "promote" any thread here and certainly don’t intend to "demean" your character. That’s why I’m happy that you’ve clarified the record.

Roberttcan was a problematic contributor here. That was the real problem and now that he’s gone, let’s please move on.
