LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality

Good for you, you'll do well.

Mr Rubin,

My dear old Nan often counselled "A fool and his money are soon separated"

George, others and I are trying to help you keep yours. As engineers and audiophiles with countless years investigating audio phenomena, we have a pretty good idea on what is buckwheat.

The fuse phenomena, and innumerable other tweaks, are easily explained by connector rejuvenation and other non-Merlinic majic.

Cables are easily explained by reasonably simple math. However, few bother. When perceived performance was less than expected, "burn in" was invented. What is happening likely connector related, outgassing and oxidation. After the prescribed NNN hours, the sound changes. Replug them and start over.

Decades before burn in was discovered, professional electronics and recording engineers were refreshing contacts. Some studios went so far as to solder every possible connection for the absolute degradation minima.

Make a bundle. You'll need it.

I'll pose the same question, as well as my observations here, hoping for an answer:    The Naysayer Doctrine (a faith-based religion) clearly has it’s roots deeply embedded in, "measurements" and, "engineering experience".          I’d be interested in hearing what (if any) measurements have been taken and/or what experiments have been conducted, by the Naysayer Evangelists, or their Popes, that aren’t based on an Engineering/Physics understanding of electricity/electromagnetism from the 19th Century (ie: Ohm, Maxwell, Faraday, etc).           The same cult was taking shots at Nikola Tesla, back in his day!      https://nextexx.com/2020/06/18/why-do-scientists-hate-tesla/           He still managed to take the world, kicking and screaming into the 20th Century, with his inventions.         A good read: https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Invented-Twentieth-Century/dp/148122980X

What NEW properties are discovered that invalidate the old?

We naysayers have all heard audible changes without changing anything.

Claimed changes are all explainable by pedestrian, non-exotic effects. Purveyors and aficionados make extravagant claims without any scientific or engineering support other than their say-so.

The proponents frequent resort to denigrating the naysayers ability to hear in spite of their  decades  of proven ability.
