Synergistic Red Fuse ...

... most or almost all observable phenomena CAN be explained by current scientific laws or facts. What might be difficult for one person to explain might be a snap for someone else.

+1. A good audio-related example of that can be found in the current thread entitled "Most Important, Unloved Cable," in which several people reported that significant sonic improvements resulted from upgrading ethernet cables that are used in their systems. With the upgrades in most cases being very inexpensive.

A couple of posters, including one who deals with ethernet networking professionally, dismissed that as preposterous, and undoubtedly the result of expectation bias. But for someone who happens to have the right background (me), it was a snap to explain those results. And to explain them in a manner, as I put it in that thread, that is "well within the bounds of established science and engineering." See my post in that thread dated yesterday, 3-27-2017.

BTW, in saying this my intent is certainly not to toot my own horn, but simply to provide a specific audio-related example supporting your comment.

Has anyone on this forum broke open an SR black fuse and analyzed what it is made of and constructed?   Who knows, maybe it does not have a hair thin wire but a thick wire made of some other substance.  Maybe it has anti-vibrational content differing from cheap basic fuses.   Finding out what and how it is made could answer questions as to why it works and so well.    In the meantime, I'll just keep listening to my fuse induced sonic improvements.

^^^ A very good suggestion.  However, I believe in another thread someone posted links to pictures of SR black receptacles that were identical visually to those sold at Lowes, but the SRs were treated with 2,000,000 volts and a graphene coating.  Which is just to say there might not be a visual difference, 

Maybe an electron microscope would help?

You know, now that I am thinking about it, there are a lot of at least as bright as the average lightbulb people here.  It would be something if we had an actual working scientist in a lab among us who could add a real analysis of what the physical properties are of some of the items we kick back and forth.  Fuses, cables, receptacles.  Kind of get past the physical aspect hurdle up front.
