To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

Yes, geoff, seems bizarre to me that you would mention Nasa 190 times, and Aerospace 332 times :-)

Is that because your hand is less likely to make auspicious claims? I just had a good laugh over the HiFi/Gecom "test report" you posted. You really should have vetted that first before posting it though. No worries, I know electrical/electronic is not your area of expertise so quickly identifying the flaws in the test would not be easy for you.

I think you should go back to trying to justify that differences in the integrated Poynting vector (seeing how the E-field does change for each phase of AC and hence points in each direction, leads to the B field, and that those two lead to the Poynting vector, and must be integrated over the whole field space for each direction) are going to be significant enough different with the fuse direction changed to make your system sound different. That would of course require proving the difference is on the order of thermal modulation of fuses and wires, humidity differences, the impacts of temperature change on resistance, etc.

I can wait ...

I think I am going to start calling you 332 :-)
