Synergistic Red Fuse ...

The consensus on the use of alternative fuses in audio will never be reconciled here. What I'd like to know is if anyone has replaced the fuse in their TV and did the picture/image improve. If so, then all can be laid to rest and we can move on from here. 

Picture quality improvement can, at the very least, be seen, if not measured, by anyone. If the fuse in the TV serves no more nobler purpose than that of an amp (or source) and the picture quality improves, than it follows that there is an improvement in audio gear and it's just that we're not up to the ability to measure it yet. 

I know, from personal experience, that a power cord upgrade improved the picture on my Plasma by a noticeable margin. As skinny as TVs are getting, they'll always have a decent PC on them in my house, looks be damned. It's just too daunting for me to take apart my TV but if someone already did, and replaced the fuse inside for a better one, I'd like to know what the outcome was.

I also know that if the TV picture improves the debate will turn to whether it's enough to warrant the cost of the fuse but that is an entirely different kettle of fish. 

All the best,

Actually, aside from from the usual nattering nabobs of negativity the results of users of aftermarket fuses has been remarkably consistent, not only here on this thread but on every single fuse thread on this and other audio forums ever since aftermarket fuses were introduced to blushing naive audiophiles almost 20 years ago. Lead, follow or get out of the way. 😛 And now with the $9 Gold Rhodium Nano Deluxe fuse from Create Audio even cheap uber skeptics can find out what the hoopla is all about.

Jetter ...

What a creative overview of this thread. Creativity +  a pinch of exaggeration + a pinch of sarcasm - all doing a dance around a lot of truth = great humor.

And speaking of "The Doctor," I miss David Pritchard. He added a lot to this site. A true gentleman all the way.

David ... if you're lurking, know that you're missed here.
