Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?

• It is not about facts.

Yep. That’s it in a nutshell. Cheers! Too much time spent talking about fuses. People will think and do what they will and are not likely to change, especially the older folks like me.

Can I quote you on that? 😀 Next to, “Only quote facts,” yours is my favorite.

On a speaker thread, someone recently spent $1300. on a pair of speaker isolation products, claiming it took his system to an extremely higher level of musical satisfaction. I can believe it. It is still amazing to me, that people like kosst ( a troll imo ), requires scientific facts to back anything up. A long time ago, Julian Hirsch, compared, by electrical measurements, an inexpensive japanese receiver to a relatively expensive amplifier, at that time, showing how close the two products were. I do not recall if he " listened " to these two products, but I do believe he made the comment, that if they measure the same, they must sound the same. Some people need to wake up, give things a try ( a little fuse test ), and trust their ears. If they are NOT WILLING TO TRY AND LISTEN, how can they make a comment at all ?

My main criticisms of Magic Fuse performance are the claims of what the fuse can accomplish. Measurable directionality only means that possibly current flows a TINY BIT better in one of the directions and that phenomena is rendered meaningless in an alternating current. I get that better contact between the fuse and holder is a good thing, but it's when the current gets to the rest of the electronic bits, rectified, modified, deep fried and otherwise,  the benefits of whatever inexplicable and imagined bees wax/voltage bombardment/psuedo quantum whammy/graphene coating/ or any other sales based baloney is hard to swallow, although swallow it Fusers do…all day…I tested the bejeezus out of a pile of SR fuses (embarrassingly, but had to in order to ethically allow myself to continue questioning this crap) and "proved" if only to myself that I can't swallow this particular stream of fuse goo. Others enjoy it, feel it makes cellos sound better, but until somebody explains what's what with the design goals of Special fuses I'm not swallowing any of it.

Al,

Geoff is 100% correct!

I have 100% verifiable proof that fuses are directional and need to be installed in matched pairs. Simply stick one fuse in one ear and listen and then place another matching fuse in the other ear! I guarantee you that it will sound different even with just one fuse and that ONLY two matched fuses will produced a balanced even soundfield. I guarantee it!

Geoff and his acolytes will be delighted with the scientific demonstration of the FACT that fuses make an audible difference. Furthermore, the fact that fuses need to be installed in MATCHED pairs means more sales and more profit.
