Synergistic Red Fuse ...

also, it took me time to build that post, so your prior one which expanded the one just above, seems like it was trashing my earlier points, when the follow up one did steer to a better more involved clarification. My remark was tied to the earlier post. All due to post creation and posting times rearing their head. The twisty bit is about intelligence and complexity, not meant as derogatory.

You mentioned a meme that can come into being, mainly "It’s the photons, stupid."

I mentioned the fluid has these properties when one considers the absorption and reflection of photons. Which may be a clue, or data point... as to what is going on with it. Properties in the area involving photons, that are considerably different than that of wire.

Anyway, this is about fuses and science and hearing, in an area involving emotions and drives. Music.

Depending on the design of the given piece of gear, the fuse in use can make a subtle to gross difference, and specifically in ways that are important to human hearing function, involving capacity to discern.

This happens in a given system whether it is a cheap fuse, an old fuse, a new fuse, or an audiophile tuned fuse, or given different designs utilizing various fuse materials.

We hear this, or we don’t. The rest is an argumentative atmosphere of discussion... unless one chooses to not participate.


An important point is that fuses are a scientifically and in engineering terms and circles...known creation points for non-linear odd harmonic distortions of the given pass-through signal.

As a culmination and cumulative effect, this affects the outcome when dealing with highly dynamic complex music signals.

And our highly evolved but individual intelligence capacity (not all the same!!!!) hearing (one's hear-q) will either hear it or not ...and like it or not.

Depending on on the given item in situ, using the given fuse, you will hear this to a greater or lesser degree. To some the given distortion creation or taming enabled by the use of the given fuse.... will either be pleasant or not really a big deal.

Simple enough.

You may not remember but I am someone who likes to stick to the facts of the case and avoid personalities. I seem to recall from the Stereophile daze you don’t. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I prefer to avoid the personality part but like most... have to deal with it in recognition of what may be going on in the given case. Nor do my comments have meaning in that area, ie subtle jabs or whatnot. Which creates trouble as people sometimes think they are in the text.

But we are talking about music, which generally cannot successfully be done coldly, no matter how one might try. I tend to prefer to not truly aim for scientific coolness, but to be aware. Contradiction? Possibly. Human? Yes.

In related topics, I stopped cold a just opened thread on another forum (a few days back)... a soon to be tidal wave of rants against oddities and 'charlatans' in audio. It would have went on for another 2-20 pages, with you as the opening rants - whipping boy centerpiece. Stopping it was harmful to my personal and company reputation, as some of those might be potential customers. No matter how well I may have posted, someone would (and will) take it negatively, and run with it.

teo_audio, I like your references to "human clan nature". It reminded me of a similar but relevant quote that dealt with this phenomena in the political world, among others. With just a few changes, it can describe all manner of resistance to change:
"My point is the following: Behavioral scientists from another planet would notice immediately the semiotic resemblance between animal submissive behavior on the one hand and human obeisance to religious and civil authority on the other....
And they would conclude, correctly, that in baseline social behavior, not just in anatomy, Homo sapiens has only recently diverged in evolution form nonhuman primate stock."
---E.O. Wilson, Consillience: The Unity of Knowledge.

I'm sorry if I side-tracked this topic but "human clan nature" kind of sums it up.

All the best,

So if a fuse, the design of which includes a tiny, hair thin wire since it's designed to melt instantly if needed, is a "bottleneck" to the AC in any device in which it's used, then why is the equally tiny wire in, for example, an SR fuse, allowing "More Better and Special Treated" current to flow back and forth in it thus perhaps obviating the bottleneck phenomena and enhancing cello tone? The wire in it remains necessarily tiny, it will melt (we know this), and in spite of all that it's claimed to impart wonders into the circuits around it. This isn't the application of bespoke and protected technology, it's the application of predatory sales marketing skills aimed at the gullible, who once having paid through their noses to hear the magic can't help but imagine hey, "I can hear it…really…I can."
