In addition, for your consideration, I would like to add category "C."

C) These are the ones who carry negative feelings throughout their entire narrow darkened little lives toward anyone who is more successful, more intelligent or better looking than they are.

There is a high probability of domestic violence perpetrated by them upon family members and/or friends either verbally, physically, or both somewhere in their history.

I think that is a bit OTT. It is even worse than saying "if you can't see the emperors beautiful new raiment then you must be stupid."

For myself I can only be saddened that some people put up with such poorly maintained or designed equipment that they have resorted to flipping fuses and even worse - a different fuse actually sounds different on their inadequate gear ! All this when a fuse is not even remotely in the signal path!! So sad that boutique gear can be that unreliable. I admit to having a preamp that was improved by a mains conditioner but from that day on I was looking to replace this inadequate preamp. A power supply is inadequate if it cannot filter out noise from the mains and tragically lacking if it is sensitive to a mere fuse.

Add Wolf + Jitter, whadya get? One wit. I was a math major.

That's right, Audio Research is well known for making poorly designed, inadequate gear 🙄

Of course its over the top. Intentionally so. Call it poetic licence if you will.

Could it be that this " inadequate gear" you refer to is actually superior in refinement to gear where one cannot hear improvements brought about by certain tweaks?  There's a lot of very expensive, positively reviewed and well thought of gear being transformed in this thread because of the fuses and other tweaks mentioned here.

charles1dad,

You said:

"Hi Abner jack,
I don’t see the college campus intolerance analogy here."

charles1dad,

You seem to always post very well-balanced and even-handed thoughts here. Wouldn't you agree that when the conversation turns to claims of bullying and emotional abuse, and alcoholic-like acts of non-self awareness, someone is crying out for a safe place, much like the snowflakes are doing on campus.
