Fuses that matter.

I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.

Seems like things here are getting confusing with multiple tests that could take years. I think I'll just stay with my old method, if it sounds better leave it in place, if not remove it, the fuses are still in place. I suppose we could look at fuses as everything else in audio, you could spend years trying to find the very best for your system, sometimes referred to here as chasing your tail, or you can just buy the one you prefer and enjoy the music.

Geoffkait,
It's funny to hear a charlatan like yourself speaking about comparative testing. I doubt that you had any need for it while conjuring up your imaginary audio improvement tweeks.
So tell us, when are you going to start selling your "ultimate fuse"? I guess that would be a lot more difficult than going to AC Moore and filling up some little craft bottles with colored quartz beads.

Roxy, have you given any consideration to laying off the Viagra for a while?

No way! I couldn't do without it. I place one pill at the top corners of each speaker cabinet...it improves the cabinet rigidity. I'm surprised that a genius such as yourself didn't "discover" it first.

Bryoncunningham, I admire your eagerness but think this is largely fruitless as there are too many fuses and too many components.

Let's say an average system contains 7 fuses. Now, I suspect there are some statisticians here who can do the calculation for how many tests would be required for 7 types of fuses and 7 fuse installations. And how long it would take. A hundred years?
I see. So I'm wasting my time experimenting with fuses. I wish I had thought of that. Wait a second. Aren't you the same guys who said...

These pseudo-scientists fail to disprove what observations tell them-there is a difference in fuses. Rather than a priori refusals they should GET TO WORK finding what accounts for the differences.

Hopefully, there are some who will dismiss the rhetoric and TRY DIFFERENT FUSES and fuse direction.

To not offend doubters' sensibilities, I will just say that such an A/B TESTING TO GET IT RIGHT is absolutely necessary.

Don't you often find a Skeptic to be someone who pontificates from the comfort of an easy chair but who rarely, if ever, GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS AND ACTUALLY INVESTIGATES the object of his pontification?

05-12-12: Geoffkait
Isn't the scientific method, ESPECIALLY INVESTIGATION, the underlying requirement for arriving at the truth?

05-12-12: Geoffkait
As a skeptic, don't you think truth would be better served by ACTUAL INVESTIGATION rather that idle speculation from the comfort of your Barko Lounger?
So let me get this straight...

1. You guys say that people's opinions matter only if they experiment with fuses.

2. I experiment with fuses.

3. You guys say that it is a waste of time to experiment with fuses.

Did I miss something? Let me check... No, I didn't. Can we just start referring to your position as The Double Bind?

Gotta go. My Viagra is kicking in.
