The guru on fuses:


For two years, I have asked why and how fuses could possibly matter. All I got was arguments of faith, pro or con. I needed a real audio guru who actually knows. Here is a link from John Curl’s discussion on Parasound’s website. He engineered and designed some some great equipment, including some Mark Levinson gear, The Grateful Dead’s 30 plus McIntosh amp powered Wall of Sound, and his admittedly, somewhat price compromised Parasound designs. He discusses the electrical properties of standard fuses, showing how they are compromised. The entire article is quite enlightening, but to skip to the fuse section, go to the bottom half of page 6. https://www.parasound.com/pdfs/JCinterview.pdf

Neo n45..nickle plated ..gold plated would be better because of its lower shear velocity..you guys should study up on material science and how shear velocity is a major part of all material sounds.
Good luck. Tom

  • I am thinking your knowledge of materials is plating deep. That would be evident in using the same material terms no matter the topic. Have at it with mahgister and his embeddings.
Shear is in all shapes and materials just look around. You are blind to sound even when its in front of you. Think of that ugly reflection in your mirror and how that surface feeds back sound. Electronics can not overcome poor choices of material shapes and boundaries. Better choices come first.

Only the magnets are plated. For 1 of my patents I remove material to add more reactive materials to make the device operate at its prime resonance point of contact. So by broad definition, the contents of the device are plated over. Shallow plating applies to your imagination. Tom

You pretty much just proved my point. When you only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail.  From another discussion I am not even sure you know what shear velocity is.
Thanks for bringing up the point because that geometry is a part of one of my patents. Go Fish. Tom
