Quantum Science Audio Thread

A 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. Kind of just says it all doesn't it?

To those non technical thinking of purchasing these $$$ fuses. Just save your $150+ and do this instead.

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 in "maybe" wasting their money, do not listen to the non-technical, listen to the technicians of this industry that design the audio products you have and listen to. AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH WHAT SAID HERE 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)

George,
I understand where you're coming from in your belief on fuses.
But, will you explain to me how it is a waste of money to try one when there is a full money back guarantee?

^^^ ... Carp, don't bother.

Pity the man. What we are observing here is the manifestation of psychosis due to living in what is now a police state.

The stones are the real deal. Like millercarbon, I put all six (2 of each color) in one place, on top of my power conditioner. I could experiment, but I am very happy with them there. I figure all my components are benefiting that way.

I recently upgraded my pre to a Django Mini passive TVC. That, along with the stones and QSA blue fuses, has brought my system to new heights. I am one happy camper!😃

Shostakovich is one of my favorite classical composers. Listening to his 4th symphony, with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, yesterday, was a real treat.

I’ve also spent the last few days experimenting with a set of 6 stones (2 of each color.) I put 3 each directly on top of the Quicksilver and Rogue transformers, respectively. Can’t compare the improved sound to any fuses because I’m still getting around to that. But the relaxed detail, expanded soundstage, etc. reminds me of the improvement I first heard with the SR HFT devices. So from a cost comparison standpoint, these 6 stones at 258.00 compare very favorably with a standard HFT 5 pack at 299.00. I also have a light violet fuse coming in shortly...looking forward to that one. Expectation bias is sky high so it better be good!
