We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

+1 nonoise, I was just going to say that it seems that people are arguing just for arguing sake.  The other comment I have here is that I notice that geoffkait really just pours gasoline on to fire.  I know he has said in the past that he is just trying to diffuse arguments with comedy, but I think this is really only an excuse to post very insulting comments.  I know that there is a tendancy to love his posts because he is on your side, but it is very much creating a mob mentality.  Keep that in mind as you read.

I am pretty sure that nobody actually "loves" GK posts!
And I hate to use the term, "sides".
More this should be viewed as differences of opinion.
At least that is how I look at it.

@auxinput,

Way ahead of you on that one. While I like Geoff’s take on lots of things, his humor, and point of view, he does like to provoke, prod and needle, even when people agree with him or don’t exactly line up with him while still being on the same side.

There’s been may times when I felt like asking: why the hell did you just say that? But he is what he is as I am what I am (with all due apologies to Popeye). 🤔

All the best,
Nonoise

I also built tube gear and the fuse is a bottleneck even in the most robust power supply. Best to avoid altogether and use a nice on/off breaker.  Next best is a nice aftermarket fuse as they do indeed improve SQ.
