Synergistic Red Fuse ...

For audio, at least, it’s not about electrons. Electrons have absolutely nothing to do with it. It’s about photons. Hel-loo!

What, exactly, is a Photon? As you know...’good luck with that’...

;)

teo ...

Just wanted to say that I for one appreciate your creative writing.

"The projected dogma inherent in the complex ape based vehicle of the human, makes such things difficult."

"The good part is that we are individuals. If we were not individuals and we were all exactly the same, the world would be a very dead thing."  

Nice. :-)

@Teo- Everything in our universe can be broken down to energy, vibration and frequency. Science has been working on figuring out the mechanics(ie: Quantum) for decades, a major breakthrough being proof of the Higgs Boson’s existence and it’s effect on other bosons. I’ve been trying not to type too much, but- you opened the window and saved me a lot of keystrokes. THEORIES? ABSOLUTELY! It’s been quite some time since Case-Western Reserve University, BUT- to my knowledge: no one has yet actually observed an electron, or proven categorically how electricity actually works/flows/travels. That’s why just about everything about it(outside of what has been measured/recorded/repeated) is still considered, "Electrical THEORY". I’d like someone on this site, that is so convinced(scientifically) that a fuse can’t possibly make an audible difference in a sound system, to approach the discussion on the level of Fermions, up/down type Quarks, and Leptons(Charged or Neutrino / tau or muon). OR- the effect of a non-zero in empty space, electrically charged, Gauge boson’s effect on either a W or Z boson. Pick your own theory(wave/particle/string/make up your own, geniuses).

Thanks for the excellent example of Newton's Third Law: For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.

Expectation bias can be overruled by actual listening experience if one approaches with an open minded attitude. Generally the better something is the more it will cost. There are without doubt exceptions to this generality especially in High End audio. Higher price and performance don’t allows go hand in hand. The Create Audio fuse could be better or equal to the SR Black for all I know.

exactly! It could be better or equal or worse. But from what you said you would *expect* it to be worse, or am I putting words in your mouth?


Charles also wrote,

Problem is who determines which is better? Same answer as always, subjective, so better remains in the ear of the beholder/individual. No upgrade fuse is going to sound better than a stock fuse to someone convinced that it isn’t a possibility in the first place. Again expectation bias.

Well, that’s pretty philosophical, on the other hand if a thing really is better sounding than Brand X most people who are not all thumbs and who can appreciate differences in sound would probably agree. Obviously there will be exceptions with just about anything.
