Synergistic Red Fuse ...

So would the vacuum of LIGO be able to prevent electron motion and its resulting vibration generated externally from an alternating current on a filament inside a fuse?

>>>>>>>The LIGO vacuum is intended as another seismic vibration *stage* - it’s not a cure all. If you wish to prevent 60 HZ hum in AC power cord or in the fuse just use *damping*. It’s not rocket science. Whereas robust vibration isolation is more complicated, no so easy. In fact that’s precisely what a lot of the modern audiophiles fuses use to address vibration - damping. Hel-loo! That’s why you will see in the HiFi Tuning data results ceramic fuses generally sound better because they don’t vibrate as much as glass. I myself would never think of leaving fuses undamped, same goes for anything carring a signal that is vulnerable to vibration, or that produces vibration, you know, like transformers and capacitors. But I digress. I’m not telling you anything you don’t know, one trusts.

While the ac signal is not the smallest or largest wave motion it is the first in line of the many that will follow. Heck many audio companies claim the source is the most important of signals...could it be the ac fuse..is so vital as it is the first component inside most audio devices.
Hanging on this hair thin element is an 8 gauge power cord ..what kinda battle of scale and competing forces is that one. Just a projected image..Tom

>>>>>>If you’re worried about induced vibration of some kind use damping. You’ve got much bigger problems with external vibration and vibration produced by motors and transformers. Case solved. Just because a signal is a wave doesn't necessarily mean it vibrates. 

Geoff ,

Certainly you must remember I don't use fuses they were replaced long ago with magnets in 2008 and they don't have a filament that will vibrate and they are not damped but they are direct coupled ..I was just checking..to see if you were still reading from the same old set of cue cards..and you are. 

I don't use damping materials in my system. Everything is direct coupled. My speaker drivers are damped by their surrounds and those will soon be augmented with devices to reduce and remove reflected interference. You cannot achieve this with damping. Damping is an overused term and a work around for the real solutions..keep looking 

The LIGO system cannot be a reality in an active household. Example turning on the bathroom fan to remove the after effects of compression waves generated..both will generate shear waves in your LIGO system which is now out of its own protective vacuum...

Al,

Thanks for your knowledge and response!

The answer to find a better fuse might be in some dynamic testing method which you may have some knowledge of rather than just the standard heat rise and current capacity that I have read about.

Only "maybe" if it looks like the same one on the right after many switch on cycles and carbon build up, then just buy a new one for $2.

Tom, you are obviously from the old Michael Green school of "let the vibrations free to roam." I am from the school of "the only vibration is a dead vibration." You seem to be completely ignoring seismic vibrations, I.e., structureborne vibration. That’s exactly what the Michael Green school preaches. The Michael Green school has an almost fanatical aversion to damping, just like you. You come from a long line of naysayers. The Michael Green school preaches that the audio signal is vibration - just like you do - and he has same almost cultish argument that you do - that because the audio signal is a wave it must be vibration, so that damping kills the audio signal, kills the sound. It’s like you two guys were joined at the waist.
