Chadeffect, I think you should add #7-it doesn't matter that some claim neither direction or manufacturer of fuses have no effect. It is not their business what we each hear in our systems.
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.

Thank you Nonoise. You are a gentleman. But I too have a swan song... 06-08-12: GeoffkaitCome on, Geoff. You can do better than that. No one here is going to believe that you found my post either hilarious or deceptive. If you think you can trick people with that feeble misdirection, youve miscalculated by an order of magnitude. It isn't just that your misdirection is facile. It's that it's bizarre, as Mapman pointed out. On the bright side, you've provided everyone with an excellent illustration of the Method of Evasion, which is the hallmark of Obscurantism. The Method goes like this 1. Be cryptic. 2. Misrepresent your opponent. 3. Change the subject. Calling my post hilarious and deceptive does all three in roughly equal measure. You also regularly employ a fourth tactic, which is your personal touch on Obscurantism 4. Project your own misconduct onto your opponent. Obviously, Im referring to your suggestion that my post was "deceptive." Throughout this thread, I've proceeded with openness and candor, Ive freely admitted my mistakes and limitations, and I've given no reason to believe that I have the slightest thing to gain by deception. The truthfulness of that statement, and the sincerity of the post you called deceptive, is transparently obvious to other posters on this thread, as evidenced by their remarks. Add to that the fact that Ive never once been accused of deception in the three years Ive participated on Audiogon. In light of all that, your suggestion that I was being deceptive is so implausible that its difficult to imagine that even you believe it. On the other hand, you are routinely accused of deception. Several posters have accused you of it on this thread already. Ive personally charged you with Obscurantism on more than one occasion. Trying to project that accusation onto me is about as persuasive as its elementary school equivalent: Im rubber, youre glue ________________________________________ Chad I agree with you. Whats remarkable isnt that people argue. Whats remarkable is that they cooperate. You mentioned Human Nature in an earlier post. Personally, I believe many of the contemporary sociobiological theories about the nature of Human Nature, which suggest that it is deceptive, aggressive, and self-interested, but also that it can be trustworthy, cooperative, and altruistic. I would add that I believe that there is not ONE Human Nature but MANY. While everyone has all of those traits, we each have them in different proportions, creating a wide variety of Human Natures. That is visible every day in the microcosm of Audiogon. While Obscuratism, Dogmatism, and other antisocial behaviors are easily found, so are sincerity, generosity, and kindness. And that is something to feel encouraged about. Bryon |
Bryon, what is hilarious is that you spend so much time arguing with *me* - geez, I thought everyone knew I was just a dodge and weave troll. Hell, I wasn't allowed to post here for four years, even to defend myself, because the threads tended to get a little, uh, out of hand. The threads on machina dynamica went south pretty fast even without me, as you can probably surmise. Ironically, I have been the number one seller on Audiogon for the past five years with the highest rating, too, so all this angst and hand wringing has me a little puzzled. I wonder, Is it something I said? Ha ha ha |
