QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS

Ralph, yes, that is very conceivable to me, even in the cases of the most astute and sincere listeners. As you’ve probably seen, I’ve mentioned in many past threads how easy it is in audio to attribute a perceived change to the wrong variable. And even if steps are taken to assure that comparisons are made under equal states of warmup, just the fact that power has been cycled could conceivably result in perceptible differences, especially if the component includes significant digital circuitry. We all know how the behavior of a computer can often change when it is rebooted, usually for the better. And unlike a computer the sonics of an audio component may additionally be susceptible to differences in the levels and characteristics of internally generated digital noise that might result from re-initialization of the circuitry.

Lest anyone take  geoffkait  "in the least" seriously, please check
what nonsense he purports to represent at  www.machinadynamica.com/machina5.htm
truly as sad an example of non-sense as I've ever seen.
And if he feels he's "joking around" he should put some "he-he's" at the end of his comments.
(For those of us with respect for serious hi-fi enthusiasts and manufacturers)

I'm starting to get a bad feeling again.

This has been a very useful thread. And by that I mean the parts about using Littelfuse fuses and why I won't have to worry about which way I put them in. Geoff actually did the most to convince me that fuse directionality is a myth, and for that I'm grateful.

Look if someone wants to waste their time and money why not  at least make  it easy.   Sometimes it can be hard to figure that stuff out.
