We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

gdhal

I’d imagine you might consider extending an apology to me for using the word "fraud" numerous times. What we have is a simple disagreement as to how any kind of testing would be performed. No right or wrong per se, just a difference of opinion.

Not so. There is a mountain of information about how to conduct scientifically valid listening tests, going back at least as far as Munson’s presentations to the AES in the late ’50s. (Yes, that Munson, the guy who worked with Fletcher.) What you proposed was a process we could politely call "scientifically invalid," but which was essentially rigged so as to ensure that the outcome of your $25,000 wager could be favorable only to you. And this was all to be negotiated in secret, outside of the forum, but somehow legitimized because you’d bring lawyers into it. The moderators concluded that it was a ruse and deleted all of your efforts to promote your "offer." 

I agree that no fuse is the best for sound but luckily, the SR Blue fuse sounds really similar to my friends’ identical amps but for his use of circuit breakers in place of the fuses.

gdhal, Yes, I realize your comment was directed at cleeds. But you were going on about fraud so much I decided to expound on the idea that blind tests are inherently “a fraud.” Especially when it’s only the threat of blind tests. You don’t even have the decency to wait for the test results. That’s just plain silly. 😂

I’m waiting for the top-of-line SR "purple haze" fuse.
