Quantum Science Audio Thread

I rarely post anything here. I did so this time because I had direct experience on the topic and reported it in a factual and non judgmental fashion. My reward was to be called a lier by one member and told I was in the wrong hobby by another ( I have been in this hobby for 49 years ). I am and always have been in this hobby for the enjoyment of music. I once got into a discussion with Geof Kait on the directionality of fuses and realized "why should I care or judge how others choose to enjoy this hobby ?" I think you guys have really strayed and are missing the point.

oregonpapa and millercarbon:

I agree that it's time. Like Frank, I have a natural aversion to reporting anyone who is exercising free speech. But this individual has crossed way over the line again and again. Took me all of 15 minutes to report every single post on this thread. For those of you complaining, I suggest you take the time to do the same. That is, if you are really serious about fixing the problem.

I think I was the one who said you may be in the wrong hobby. I meant it as a joke. In retrospect, I see how it could have been taken as insulting. I apologize for that. My intent here has always been to find ways to improve my system through the experiences of others and to help others to improve their systems through my experiences as well. 

Take care ...

Frank

Keep it up, in the meantime catch this proof for your time and effort!

cerberus7941 posts08-16-2021 8:55pmA few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon member. To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss fuses and could not hear a difference. I did this test with a bunch of friends and neither I or them could hear a difference.

A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products you have.
AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH FUSERS ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!

Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)

Cheers to those "non fusers" George

Thank you Frank
