Synergistic Red Fuse ...

 While this is as patently exciting as watching paint dry, may I get back to Al on my REL subwoofer hookup?  
Al, thanks for your research into REL's instruction manuals for the proper wiring of a mono block amp to the sub's balanced input.  I have not experienced any adverse effects from my equipment by combining the yellow and red wires onto the (+) speaker output terminal and the black onto the (-) terminal, and I hope this is because I have been using the unbalanced input on the REL all along.  On the Bryston 4BSST stereo amp I used to use with only one REL Stata, the yellow and red were each attached to the left and right (+) speaker output terminals respectively, and the black was attached to one of the (-) output terminals, user's choice on that one.  With going to a mono amp for each channel, I was told to combine the red and yellow as first described, but as you have informed me, this does not account for the full amplitude signal from the (-) output.  I am hoping the unbalanced input on the REL does account for it, as the system does sound very pleasing as is, but I am interested in revising the hookup to the balanced input, as well, per your invaluable advice. 
Regards, Joe 

Jay23…unlike fuses, most component bits like the caps, resistors, transformers, tubes, etc., matched or otherwise, obviously all have plenty to do with the tone and performance of gear, and measurement isn't what I'm "harping" about anyway…it's simply that in the face of preposterous claims of tonal efficacy I would think somebody, perhaps the manufacturer of a product, could explain why and how a fuse would perform so many tasks that logic (and my previous fuse test) would indicate it couldn't. Carpal Tunneling (uh…make that Quantum tunneling), carping at me, eating carp, buying into SR's "fog of nonsense" when describing their pseudo esoteric methods of filling fuses with fudge or carbon or dog meat, all add up to not so much…a fuse is still simply a fuse, even if it "absorbs" the vibration of the cash in your pocket.

Wolfie, if you're going to carry on you could at least get your facts straight. SR doesn't fill their fuses with anything. Nice try, though, slugger.

Thanks, Tom. Yes, it was a different member, not you, who has been asserting that "the patent for ’UEF Technology’ is the paint," claiming that Mr. Denney’s Acoustic Paint patent is what SR’s description of the Blue Fuse is referring to when it states that the fuse has been "engineered with our patented UEF Technology." As you realize, I have disagreed with his assertion, and I have also stated that none of the four patents you and I have discovered to have been granted to Mr. Denney have anything to do with fuses.

All of this has been in response to a question that was posted several days ago asking if someone could identify the patent referred to in the Blue Fuse description.

You must either be book smart, and lacking logic and deductive reasoning, or just have reading comprehension problems. Either way, I would certainly be wary of having you represent a patent.

You just want to have your cake and eat it too. 🙄 Like that desire, you are fully illogical. All of these items can be in the power supply. If fuses do not affect performance, why do people bypass them or make use of circuit breakers? Manufacturers have measured the differences. But again, you don't care about measurements...only things you can't comprehend.
