oregonpapa,
Thanks for the input. I, like many, am skeptical but open minded regarding the fuses. However, I do draw the line at a certain point. I can no longer suspend my disbelief when I read certain product descriptions:
"
Audio Magic latest fuse in the Premiere line - The "Beeswax" Premiere Super Fuse.
The Beeswax version is identical to the Premiere version the only
difference is Audio Magic uses Beeswax instead of the normal anti
vibration fluid, this gives the fuse a very organic flavor but maintains
the detail, dynamics and everything the Premier does. The production of
this fuse is very difficult, very hard to get the Beeswax into the fuse
but the organic sound is too good to ignore.
"
It only follows then that the bees are on diet of organic pollen. When I mentioned this to a couple of my audio-unsophisticated friends they were amazed that someone had the gall to advertise a product this way. I am embarrassed for the industry.
There is quite a buzz about these fuses, although many have reported that they were stung on the purchase of these things. It's really not a honey of a deal.
