QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS

Al refers to them as anecdotal. I prefer to refer to them as evidence. It’s what folks observe, you know, hear. Folks think of seeing as observation usually, but isn't hearing observation, too?  t’s all part of the thing called the scientific method. We have a hypothesis, we test the hypothesis and we accept or reject the hypothesis based on ob-ser-va-tion. It’s actually remarkably simply. As I am fond of saying, it’s the preponderance of the evidence that counts. And there certainly has been a bunch of that,

There is an exception to every rule. Of course, there are any number of perfectly good reasons why you didn’t hear a difference. Shall we explore what those are? ;-)

Geoff,

Good Listening

Thanks, Peter. I frequently see those three words used together.

Regarding the anecdotal reports Geoff refers to, such as those provided by various A’gon members in the current SR fuse thread, those are the one reason for which my mind remains somewhat open on this issue. Particularly given that some of those reports emanate from sources I consider to be particularly credible, such as Charles1dad among a few others.

Al, I suspect the reason they hear a difference is due to the fact that the equipment has to be powered down (and thus also has to warm up) in order to change the fuse. I would not be at all surprised to find out that even though the fuse is now 'correctly' installed, reversing it and listening again would get the same result- as long as an open mind was doing the listening.
