What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

"The equipment winds up protecting the fuse!"

Taking into consideration quick depreciation of used audio equipment and availability of more and more expensive fuses, this may be good thing.

What I find most interesting is that you hardly ever hear of a tweak making things worse.

After i just learned the fact that it is the visibility of my devices that change my perception of sound, in no way their shape or acoustical content properties, after reading that, i read that what prove my failure or treachery is that i dont speak about device making things worse...On the contrary: for example put a piece of shungite on the amplifier it will compress the sound.... Anyway....


I cannot express how ridiculous are the contorsions of someone willing to dismiss something he dont want to experiment or understand....


Sorry i never has been the first sheep in the line,  buy your costly device warrented to be the best by the market and dont bother with acoustic, your equalizer will solve all...

"...your equalizer will solve all..."

Finally words of wisdom.

I recommend Soundraftsmen. They are even cheaper than Hallograph.

By the way i NEVER recommended to buy the hallograph, that was not my point at all...

My best to you....

Audio2design, You are absolutely correct about the frozen yoghurt incident that I witnessed.  The fuse probably had nothing to do with it. I realized this about 15 minutes after posting, but at that time I was out of the house doing something more useful than this, so until now I hadn't the chance to make corrections.  As to the capacitor business, it is fair to say that capacitors "hardly ever" short to ground.  But once in a while they or other devices in a circuit do short to ground.  I've built a few amplifiers and done some extensive mods to both preamplifiers and amplifiers, over about a 25 year period, just as a hobbyist, and I have experienced at least two capacitor failures of that type. So, do you want to use these tidbits to disagree with me that fuses built into audio electronic devices should be left in place to do their job? Did you want to agree with Mijostyn who relies upon his circuit breakers to protect his gear? If so, there we part company.  If not, what is your point?  If your goal was to point out my error in the way I told the story of the yoghurt machine, you win.  I goofed. However, I stand by the main message of my post. 


I am not an EE and never claimed to be.  All of my electronics knowledge has been acquired from books and from conversations with EEs and their ilk.  Plus I have a solid grounding in basic physics, math, and chemistry from college, medical school, graduate school, and from 40 years as a biological scientist.
