Upgrading Fuses

Wow!!! All this over the sound of a fuse?

No, Zmanastronomy, all this is over people who devote their time ridiculing others who are simply sharing the joys of their hobby. How'd it be if someone went to your systems page and kept posting comments about how "bogus" your homemade room treatments were and demanding you prove they work? (I happen to think they're cool, inspiring and impressive, btw). It's a free country but it's a shame when a few use that freedom as an excuse to ruin it for the many. I don't go to a "which amplifier has the best specs" thread and throw rocks at everyone because I don't happen to care much about specs. Heckling may seem trivial, until you are the one being heckled.

Your posts about your experiences on this topic have been welcome, appropriate and instructive...not because I think so (our views about the fuse happen to actually conflict) but because they have been in keeping with the stated purpose of the thread.

He or she would probably like it & would tell you how to measure the effects if you wished. Effective room acoustic treatments leave a measurable footprint and many of us take various db measurements across our listening room when establishing acoustic treatment & subwoofer setup up & etc.
There are some pretty out there room acoustics things, telephone playback of magic signals for example, that do not leave a measurable footprint.
It could be argued I guess that one shouldn't refrain from spending money on the out there room acoustics things because they haven't tried them ?

"Why does it bother you that some of us perhaps have more sensitive hearing (by way of nature or training) in certain specific ways than others do? "

I think we all except the above to be a fact. I don't know that it bothers anyone but maybe it does. The thing is that the thresholds of human hearing are well established and are orders of magnitude below the thresholds of signal detection by other means. If you tell your neighbor that you can hear a mouse pass wind during a thunderstorm, he is going to give you a funny look.

There are scientific laws of physics governing room treatments.

If someone thinks that a particular configuration of wire (or fuse) makes audio sound better, that's fine by me, even if I disagree. However, if that person makes (or buys) such wire, brands it, and sells it at a ridiculous price that is not OK by me.
