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!

Do you reach 100 hrs for Oranges?
Does it take less time of break-in than blues?
It seems Blues take 200 hrs or more for fully break-in

You mention the BS $160 Orange fuse 4 times in the last post.

Now say your not shilling
(even though they say you have stated on Audiogon that your a Synergistic Research beta tester)


The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse

Your better off spending $2 on a "new original fuse", and save hundreds.



Pop quiz! The inmates in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest are divided into Chronics and Acutes. Some Chronics are patients who arrived at the hospital as Acutes but were mentally crippled by excessive shock treatment or brain surgery, common practices in the hospital. Nurse Ratched encourages the Acutes to spy on one another.

The Acutes are made up of patients who are seen to be "curable." As a group they hang out together during the day and often play cards. It is this group, led by McMurphy, that challenges Nurse Ratched’s authority.

OK, here’s the quiz. Which one’s George? Is he an Acute, a Chronic or Nurse Ratched?

Part 2 - What ARE they putting in the water down there? 🦘🦘🦘
listen to Almarg

the mistaken idea that electrons flow like water in a hose that is promoted in entry level physics classes has caused untold confusion. AC is not bidirectional. Energy is transferred from the source to the load. Any movement of electrons is a byproduct of that, not a cause, and they most certainly do not "flow" as most people envision it.

forget about electrons. Any attempt to explain what is happening that involves electrons is doomed to fail.
