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!

And just because you repeat the wrong things over and over that you don't seem to understand does not make them right either.
Saying there is current and ignoring current everywhere in the cable, just like ignoring that the e-field and b-fields change direction, and that they lead to the energy vector and spouting blindly "but but but the energy vector is always towards the load", again, does not make anything you are trying to claim correct. It is not.

>>>>>Nope I never said that, you’re putting words in my mouth again. What I actually said here at some point is that energy is not (rpt not) a vector, it’s a scalar. It has no direction. Just like Bob Dylan has no direction of home. Better luck next time. I promise I’ll let you win one sometime. Maybe you should try keeping a log. That way you recall better who said what. I hate to judge before all the facts are in but you have all the signs of the very thing the article you posted described - The Backfire Effect. Hel-loo!
I must say, your ability to argue from a position of ignorance is truly remarkable .... just like your attempt to use simplifications to justify your reasoning.

almarg, and others have tried repeatedly explain the concept to you, but here let me put it to you in the easiest way possible. I will leave out the basics of Poynting VECTOR since many others have raised this with you already (quick search shows that). Energy is a scaler in the same way that velocity is also a scaler whose SI unit is m/s = meters / second. Now lets do an example. Geoff leaves his house at 9am and travels, for 1 hour at 30 meters/second. Where is Geoff? You don't know do you. He could be anywhere within a radius of 108,000 meters of his starting point.  If you want to use this "scaler" argument for energy, then you have to accept you can't say that energy always travels from the source to the load because that would require direction .. and energy has no direction.

But then again, the Poynting vector units are watts/m^2. That is not even an energy term, that is a power term ... which defines along with a direction vector where the energy is going and the rate of energy transfer.
