Upgrading Fuses

Mr. Jones , you might also do well to read Paul McGowan's PS Tracks blog. If you are as open to having your own assumptions challenged as you are to challenging the assumptions of others, you might actually discover that not all matters can be answered by measurements or double-blind tests ( which have long been abandoned by audio designers as useless). For others, I would,indeed, recommend you read Mr. Aczel's diatribe. It puts him squarely in the conspiracy theory camp occupied by people who have NOTHING to do with invention, innovation or the furthering of this great hobby. Mr. Aczel would have you believe that William Zane Johnson of Audio Research was a dishonest or deluded huckster trying to lead you down the garden path. Mr. Jones either failed to understand Lacee 's point or he's just here to throw boogers at everyone who wants to share their audio discoveries. I'll let greater minds be the judge.

I remember reading this article a long time ago and it still makes me smile.
The first reason: I bought it whole hog. Every word.
The second reason: He wasn't always right.

There is another thread somewhere, here, that addressed the issue of a switch box and it was pointed out the variances it introduces making it unreliable for 'proper' A/B switching. It can't be done reliably. Whether the poster was correct or not, I can't say, but Aczel doesn't necessarily have the last word on this as I don't remember what he wrote being on a stone tablet.

I'l stick to my own, lying eyes (ears) every time.

Folks.

Think it is time for me to quit on this thread whatever else I would have said is already in the article:) (although if anybody posts info that would allow me to trace down fuse manufacturer info that is still of interest).

Happy listening!

I couldn't find info, other than reviews that state that HIFi Tuning Fuses are made in Germany. I did find this but it is way over my head:

Hope it helps some.

God bless you, nonoise! I lived in Germany for several years and I can tell you that neither the EU nor the very controlling and quality-contro crazy German government would allow HiFi Tuning to sell, let alone export something used in electronics that was either dangerous or not what it was claimed to be. The document you have provided is evidence of this. Of course, there's no way to prove to skeptics that this document was not produced by a mad scientist employed by a religious cult. ;-)
