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

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'll abide an opinion, BUT my cheek was turned a few comments back.
I try to be a gentleman, but when it's normally fueled by insult hurled at everyone "AS IF", he's better than when in fact he's not "AS GOOD AS"
Time to say, "what a shi$head". White gloves and dancing shoes OFF, WORK BOOTS and leather gloves on.

BUT thanks nonoise. I'm sure it will get booted anyway.. I spend WAY to much time here anyways. LOL

"I commented before that these fuse discussions are useless. For Gods sake, take advantage of Music Directs 60 day policy and try their Hi Fi Tuning fuses. Don't measure and just listen. If you don't hear a difference, then return them for a full refund. If you hear a positive difference that you feel is worth $100.00, then keep them and enjoy the music and stop with these useless discussions on whether fuses make a difference. We were given 2 ears for a reason."            +1                                                                   IF you’re interested in improving your system’s presentation, have a shred of confidence in your capacity for perceiving reality and trust your own senses: try a better fuse, FOR YOURSELF.                                                                                                                                  The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens!

 "When" you don't hear a difference, then return them for a full refund.
They bank on you "not doing" just that, it's how "snake oilers" work.

Even these $$$ boutique fuse manufacturers are smart enough not to stand up for the claims made by fusers on forums.
Other audio equipment manufacturers do, (wonder what difference could be????)

With rare, very rare exception, no one claiming fuses are highly audible does a blind test. I have many times with people making a fuse claim. Funny, blind, they can never tell a difference.

Notice how the last two comments are basically cut-and-paste?
They'll give the same responses years from now, which is basically how all of these discussions on fuses have been for many a year.

It's like some form of arrested development.

All the best,
Nonoise
