So done with audiophile fuses

...not to mention the fancy time-aligned cable that is terminated with a substandard conductive Rhodium plated solid brass...also an inferior conductor...clamped on to another solid connector into a passive crossover through a network of capacitors, inductors, resistors, that might soldered...or spade lug... to a solid connector on each transducer, soldered to various degrees of copper, copper clad aluminum, or aluminum voice coil windings.

Talk about electron confusion. How on earth do they know what frequency they are a part of, when Ohm’s Law states that electricity follows the path of least resistance?

Reddy Kilowatt is one smart dude.

Your comment, priceless

Do you see Pass, Curl, Cary, Mcintosh, or any of THOSE folks coming out of NASA, or NEC, or the FDA, or Brain or Heart surgeon Professorships? WTF.

NEC? FDA?  ... You should have stopped at NASA, though they have had their fare share of failures ver the years.

There is some complexity to modern stereos especially when you consider what is buried inside a sigma-delta DAC, or the latest Class-D, or the semiconductors powering the system, or the capacitors. However, most are just throwing together building blocks, but it took 100 years for people at THX to come up with some new architectural stuff to reduce SNR/THD.

The top speaker/driver companies are no dummies either. There is a lot of good science and engineering there too.

Most of what NASA does is applied. The real research goes on in places like JPL, and university labs.

... here's some constructive criticism, based on the assumption that, in order to sound remotely palatable, audiophile grade amps need AC mains to supply perfect platonic ideal archetypical sine waves, like god's flatulence ...

I have no idea what you are talking about and, I suspect, neither do you. Such nonsense.

@molingus Ahem. In what 3rd world country do you all live where shorting a fuse in an audio amp starts your hovel on fire? Move into the modern world, where our buildings have code, and our breaker boxes have, uhhh, breakers installed.

It is a mis conception that a faulty component that takes damage when its fuse does not blow, will instantly trip a 15A or 20A circuit breaker before enough damage is done to start a fire in the component. In most cases it will not. If your faulty component doesn't blow a 10A fuse (where there should have been a 3A or 5A fuse) before causing damage or fire, don't expect it to trip a 20A circuit breaker.......Jim
