Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"?

One need not understand one single bit of amp design and their power supplies in order to hear a difference that a fuse can make. Stop with the red herrings that take us out into the weeds and away from the subject under discussion.

Your appeals to authority are useless. That, and they show a tendency to be closed minded leading one to think you're a victim of expectation bias. You've read that the fuse is only a safety device so therefore, it cannot have an effect on the sound.

You've painted yourself into a corner and refuse to trust your own ears, which if they are good, can hear a difference and yet you won't admit it. Instead, you cite anecdotal events of others you know who do hear a difference and claim they can't if subjected to some parlor trick.

Time to work up for another endorphin hit.

These **** ***** fusers here will have you believe a $150> is better for sound than that circuit breaker, because the fuse "they say" is "directional" even though it's in an AC (alternating current) mains path.  

Consider yourself lucky that your not conned into spending >$150+ on these $1 fuses that does absolutely nothing for the sound quality.

Cheers George

Take your time and go back over all the discussions on fuses and link them here so we can see what you claim: that someone claimed a fuse is better than a circuit breaker. 

You're desperation is showing, Georgie.

While I am quite certain fuses in power supplies make no difference after showing that to many audiophiles in their system, I am also convinced george will never learn how electricity works and will keep bringing up AC like somehow it matters in the discussion.

What part of "It Sounds better" don't YOU understand?

or

"It sounds the same".

For the record anytime YOU want to match wits, I'm up for the task.

FOR ALL TO SEE. I may dummy it down just to be of good cheer, and show respect towards others, BUT how a power supply works in a friggin' little stereo?  Let me brush up for 15 minutes and I'll give you a run for your money... audio2design.. Geez you really think your smart don't you..

Better yet, I'll build mine, you build yours and well see who know what..

I'll leave it to someone neutral like Nelson Pass to judge our work.. he's up for it I think. there a few qualified guy I know. James B died. Lets see who else. Hads to friggin' sloppy to judge my work..
Who ever you or I can talk into it.. How's that?

I think  mahgister would be a good judge...

What do you say? 10-25 watt amp SS or Valve. You pick..

I'll pick my stuff, you pick your stuff

Put your MOUTH where your money is.

George.. maybe not.. he might just surprise you and me when it comes to board level tech and build quality.. He understands quality. Just a little thick in the fuse department.. 

So you up for it?

Or

You gonna tell me a whole new way to feed my chickens?

My hand are good for 15 minutes twice a day... My mind.. 24/7
