Gbmcleod,
As you well know this fuse topic has been covered numerous times on this and other open discussion forums. As geofkait noted the ratio is usually quite high in favor of listeners with a positive response. I do believe that some people can have such a negative bias and expectation of "no difference heard" that they’d never admit to any sonic improvement. Bias can and does work in both directions. I’ve heard fuses make a + difference in various systems and multiple components over the years. I remember very similar debates regarding power cables in the past, not so much anymore. My well meaning suggestion to celtic 66 is hey, just give them a try and see what you think.
Charles,
