We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

gdhal, Yes, I realize your comment was directed at cleeds. But you were going on about fraud so much I decided to expound on the idea that blind tests are inherently “a fraud.” Especially when it’s only the threat of blind tests. You don’t even have the decency to wait for the test results. That’s just plain silly. 😂

fleschler - I agree that no fuse is the best for sound but luckily, the SR Blue fuse sounds really similar to my friends’ identical amps but for his use of circuit breakers in place of the fuses.

I’m waiting for the top-of-line SR "purple haze" fuse.

Wow. I bet trolls are writing really nasty personal rants against me. Thanks moderators.

I joke about SR "upgrading" and changing their top of the line tweaks, but it’s all for the better. I am glad I purchased the Atmosphere XL4 rather than an FEQ or lower model for my large listening room. Some of my SR items have been "upgraded" once (red to black duplex) or never since their inception (the Blackbox). I just use the SR red duplexes now for my video system instead.

I am especially pleased that the SR blue fuse sounds great immediately as opposed to the tedious 72 hour wait until the SR black fuse sounded acceptable and good (it had a negative effect for about 60 hours). If a purple haze fuse is the next "upgrade" but takes many hours to appreciate, I’ll pass. If it costs $200+, I’ll probably pass as well. I have my limits to how long I will wait and how much I will spend on a fuse. I have not changed my 4 rail fuses in my EAR Acute CD player for the reason it will take too much effort to evaluate the directionality of each fuse versus the other fuses (too many possibilities) and just getting into the player is a pain. I only open it up once annually to clean the lens.

gdhalGiven the simplicity and what should be relative ease of audibly hearing a difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed given the test I've proposed (Amy > Bob > Amy > Bob), ***I'll allow YOU to manipulate it***. And you still won't hear a difference. Would you like to try?

Where would this be done who would be witness to it what other requirements upon which you would demand previous to scheduling such a test and what other preconditions to you propose? You keep saying you want us to conduct this test even though you don't conduct it yourself in the passed and you have already drawn your conclusion on the test that hasn't yet happened???

Not allowed to adequately reply do to forum policy.

Not true at all. I have tried. It has, or hasn't, happened, depending on the perspective.
