We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

@douglas_schroeder - To answer your direct question, I am a fuse skeptic and I only use a digital source.

Thanks for including the reference to your blind testing review.  Very interesting.  There seems to be lots of confounding of variables in your test method.  The take away of a audible difference between system A and system B is supported by your write up.  I didn't follow the conclusions of differences in the components that make up the systems.    

I can ask specific questions on that review site so as not to redirect your thread.

@geoffkait Thank you for clarifying

By the way, as you just celebrated the 50th anniversary of your presentation, you are WAAAYYYY older than I realized...

I get that a lot. Many folks think I’m a Young Turk. 🤡

My goal is to curate the thread to prevent as many tangential discussions as possible. I have no problem with such things being discussed, but imo if they are discussed here it becomes a quagmire to the primary objective of seeing the results of the survey and discussion pertaining solely to the efficacy of fuses.

Very noble. But you already said that. Nobody is creating a quagmire. Hel-loo!

mpheaven   I don't know which type of circuit breaker my friend used in his amps.  I've tried several low end brand fuses while I waited for the SR Black.  The Black was superior even without breaking in (72 hours).  The SR Blue was superior immediately upon insertion and got better over time, not as dramatically but better overall.  I have another pair of the same amps built 10  years ago that need upgrading.  I will install the circuit breakers in them.  I will be able to then compare the SR Blue and circuit breaker amps head to head.  I bet they will be close.
