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

Missed a few days, thought I'd check out how it's going. Looks like I didn't miss anything - people still insulting others over a stupid little fuse. 

danvignau...Are you happy now? When you saw how this thread was going why didn't you put it out of its misery? Don't bother responding I'm not going to read it.

Fuse threads are what cancel culture was designed for.

It was a fine but failed attempt to appear superior theaudiotweak, but digitally, if someone cared, you can actually differentiate from the initial signal and reflections quite effectively in the digital domain similar to how Kippel can achieve anechoic like testing at bass frequencies, even in a room with reflections at wavelengths < bass frequency measured.

The question would be why would anyone bother, when they could just start with digital except to attempt to recover information (once and only once) from old records. Of course that has already been done with a multitude of digital techniques. Keep swinging that hammer.

So what is the input signal when it has been corrupted by the same mechanical reading of the shear wave which is much of the wave type pressed into the vinyl. Those wave motions are the shear and also mixed in are the polarities of shear that travel the material. Like to see the removal of the interference in the digital domain without corruption of the original signal.  Like to know and like to hear the results. Tom

Shear wave elastography or something equivalent if offered by
Kippel would be a novel and useful tool to measure surface vibration and deformity of a speaker and any material or device even a fuse element. In a short search there is no mention of wave types on their site that I can locate.  I guess I will write them. Tom

OMG ... do you even know how "sound" travels in a material. Transverse waves are not the only method. Even solids have longitudinal waves.  When vinyl is cut, it is intentionally cut at reduced speeds to reduce impacts of vibration ... you know the non-fancy name for what you mainly call shear. But really, who cares. The vinyl is already pressed and if it is new vinyl, it is pointless you should have just stayed digital.
