Fuses that matter.

I am riveted to my listening chair (and I have yet to try better fuses, no really).
Gravitas to Bryon for excellent thread work!

And if you look at a virtual system photo and in that pictorial is displayed proudly and prominently a in wall giant resonance collection chamber [a TV] a virtual time machine of phase errors and noise, a sure cause of time release headaches and in the picture of that TV display you see a mirror image of the proud owner reflecting at his desk, recording his self image at his listening position and behind that hot spot is a row of windows that reside over his shoulders. A picture of science at rest. Golly gee, sure example of someone who should be giving advice and reasoning on the viability of fuses making a marked change in anyone's audio system based on that reflective beam box, laser like and bouncing back between his eyes ....That is a standard of reference to judge what? And then there is me guilty of my own giant run on sentences. figure it out your selves. Tom

Taking a look at that virtual system leads me to think that even though there is a large screen TV between the speakers and windows behind the listener and one to the side, this is pretty much a standard room, give or take, that one must deal with and to make the best of. Every listeners room is different and actually no better unless one can afford a dedicated room, optimized for listening.

From my own experience, I realized the differences in fuses without addressing the large screen TV between my speakers, not to mention having no treatment behind me (save for a large sectional where I sit and a bare wall with no treatment) and a whole wall of windows to my immediate right so there is something else at play here.

Yes, addressing reflections would help any system but I don't see how they would conflict or overshadow the results of changing fuses as the results were of a different nature, and magnitude, at least for me.

All the best,

And the magnitude of difference heard within a reflective pinball machine would be more or less...or none at all. If you knew how to listen thru all of that maybe one, would be able to decipher the audio code. Ask the Pin Ball Wizard he may know. The difference of these fuse types is not subtle..no more than my dismissal of those who partake here and say there is no basis for difference or that they are unable to hear any. That's their findings..Looking thru a optically challenged Hubble telescope only reflects the glare not the substance. Tom

I understand you point but I simply don't agree with it and the analogy of the pinball machine- it's simply too absurd. I don't have bat ears and the difference was immediately apparent.

Given the treatment that has been done before the wall receptacle (which has already been addressed), the effects of the fuses can be greatly lessened.

I also pointed out, earlier, that two different integrateds I have had vastly different results: a rather large one with one unit and a very small one with another. I think one was simply a better made unit (same fuse types).

Add the quality of a well made unit and the quality of the power before the wall and it's easy to see how much less the benefits of a fuse can be. It's still there but not as much as in some other applications. Now compound things with directionality in an already resolving system and all bets are off, at least to my ears with my system.

I know I hear a difference and I have no doubts whatsoever what Bryon hears due to what I just said.

All the best,
Nonoise
