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

Millions?  Billions?  Now who is over the top here?

First generation master tapes on super modded tape machines running at high speed and double or quad speed DSD masters using the lastest tweakiest A/D and D/A converters are both very very close to reality.  Everything else is less good.

It speaks volumes that so many people trust their hearing enough that they don't bother with blind testing.  Again, blind testing is for those that don't believe in their ability to hear......they are not deaf....but believe they are.....so they need some kind of external "proof".  Trust yourself....trust your ability to hear differences.  
It's been shown that fanatically religious people who proselytize have the weakest of faith in their own beliefs. They do this out of fear of being wrong all the time past and need others to fervently believe the same stuff they do so as to prop themselves up (sort of a group support thing).

With every convert there comes a sense of momentary relief, only to vanish moments later. It becomes a never ending cycle. Like audio2destroy, they come up with silly premises and suppositions, and then generalize as if it's conventional wisdom. Heck they even go so far as to team up with others they hate (like Vegimite Moonshiner Georgie) and steal their insults, like name calling and other juvenile traits.

Like ricevs has pointed out, they haunt audio forums and troll away, in an attempt to rule the roost or close them down when they fail to do so. Many an online reviewer has closed their comments section from these losers, which probably aroused them to no end.

All the best,

When you point your finger at someone.....three are pointing back at you.  We are all a mirror for each other.  Please be kind.  Love yourself more.....the more you love yourself....the more you love everyone.  Do you want to be happy?  Do you want everyone to be happy?  I do.  
Applying some science from another discipline might be interesting.
If orange or red fuses were described by users as adding brightness or detail, and if blue fuses were described as adding smoothness and “tubey” qualities, then this would add to the arguments of those who shout ‘placebo’ and call for double blind testing. Because sugar pills those colours cause patients to perceive these effects on their senses according to colour. On the other hand, if these effects are not reported, or are reversed, this is evidence for the ‘trust your ears’ community.
Or is the colour effect the other way around...? Ah! The double bluff!
