Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Wolf, you keep insisting that a fuse CAN'T effect sonics? Why not? Doesn't AC quality do so? Don't quality power cords do so? Why not the spot where all that AC current is condensed into a frail wire designed to disintegrate upon too much amperage? If that's not the weak link, what is? Al just posted that he doesn't doubt fuses can make a difference in many cases and Paul McGowen of PS Audio expresses his beliefs that improving fuses can lead to improved sound on his site. Two people that I respect their immense electrical/audio knowledge. You on the other hand fly in the face of such knowledge and insist that a properly working fuse CAN'T effect sonics. It would be interesting to learn what it is that you know that apparently no one else does. If you'd rather respond with silliness, that's your prerogative but I'd seriously be interested in your explanation.

Hey wolf, totally an oversight I forgot to mention:
"And the bad bad guy with tons of experience in the real world, who tried to keep it real, wolf." 

Gee, I was wondering when Double Blind Testing would raise it's ugly head. And lookie who raised it, the guy who doesn't understand what the word "sweet" means in audio terminology. The Wolfman. Of course everyone knows by now raising the spectre of Double Blind Tests is the last resort of the died in the wool pseudo skeptic. When all else fails casually drop the hint that Double Blind Tests would certainly win the day for the pseudo skepics. As if.

I tried fancy fuses, and thought I heard an improvement. When I put back glass Littlefuses, some time later, I heard no difference. The conclusions were obvious; I'm with Wolfie, Al and others.

Presumably, every person on this thread has experimented with fuses for themselves, and come to their own personal conclusions.  Just like with wires.  

 Every pair of ears, room, system and component varies.  Systems even change with the time of day and warmup time. Too many variables. We can share experiences and opinions and advice, but with audio, "explanations" are only occasionally meaningful or confirmable.  

So, what is there to dispute? 

Hi George  (jetter),
That’s an  excellent  ( and humorous) summary of what's taken place here. It has certainly been fun.
