Something For The Fuse Guys ...

A very large number of the modern audio transformers in mainstream gear includes a built in thermal fuse.

Teo has been thinking about releasing a fuse design at a low price, for quite some time.*

*(Jimmie doesn't like it when you talk about him in the third person!)

This sort of problem is so very real, that i convinced a few audio show runners that before their given show plays out in the given hotel complex...

..that they needed to have an electrician come around and give a little twist and check on every single associated in room and out of room AC power line tie down (screw down) points in all the associated AC power boxes. and to not neglect the ground lines, either.

And the outcome is an obvious better sound quality for everyone in the display rooms.

As most hotels will never have their AC panels checked or serviced, unless there is a severe problem. As AC operation is critical for them, and AC power quality ---means nothing. But the audio folks want quality as well, and that requires making sure the lines have no issues.

Ok,

now go get your wall of university level physicists.
bring them on.
good luck......

appeals to authority, air of authority, rhetorical questions that you supply an answer for. dismissal before discussion.

All anti-science.

Every sin possible that is against logic and discussion.


And you go under a pseudonym and don't reveal your name, unlike the others here whom you disparage.

Your posts are crap.

Not that you had any credibility, but when you even try to suggest Dr. Floyd Toole doesn’t know what he is doing ... you lose any left.

Floyd knew what he was doing. Within a very narrow window. Floyd was a specialist.

Remember what Heinlein said about specialization....

One again, robcan, if you are so knowledgeable, please take a stab at explaining the physics of a liquid metal audio cable. Have at it. Prove or disprove it’s validity in audio. The audio world awaits.

Try to remember this: "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Always gotta try and find that different point of view. EG, just now, looking at my new dog rescue. And wondering what is going on in that mind of hers.

To her, we probably all look like something akin to oversized malformed waddling meercats.

Of course, that is not what he posted.
it's a re-invention to show himself in a better light.

I think that membership has been deleted.

Thanks for that, audiogon.

It was getting a bit obvious, but it probably had to, in all reason... wait until it was clear.

If so, someone should tell them we’re all a bunch of heretics, science be damned, and their charms, their wit, their animosity, and their vast catalogue of knowledge has no chance with the likes of us.

Just sayin, kinda thing:

Engineering and science are absolutely not the same thing.

This forum deals with science in most cases, as we deal with the exploration of the undefined and noted phenomena. Yes, that is science, if logic rigor is utilized in the act of exploring phenomena. The logic pattern, method, components thereof, etc... can take time to show itself, re the given issue at hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Engineering is for AFTER science, where engineering is used in a dogmatic manner to build things from established methodologies.

The two can and do intermix but the fundamental has to be known and noted at all times, otherwise we get the Spanish inquisition from an engineering minded person..... for an act that involves science and exploration.

Fuses by their very electrical and molecular nature, and how that interaction happens with respect to the audio equipment..well.. fuses definitely ~DO~ alter the sonic signature of a piece of audio gear.

Anyone who touts being a professional in the associated fields...and is confused about that ...should get their engineering or professional papers yanked due to dangerous levels of ignorance and incompetence.

Go talk with the companies that make the fuses. They'll explain to you how wrong you are. I'm talking Cooper-Bussman, Schurter, SOC of Japan, you name them. Go talk with their engineers and they'll be totally confused about how ignorant you are...and why are you bringing this to them?

As for directionality..well... within a year or less, dude, you’ll be eating those words.

Big time.

I read the physics journals every day, and lately they’ve been issuing the cutting edge work that cuts the naysayers to pieces.

But I don’t expect you to be around to eat it.

In my experience...the naysayers always cut and run when proven wrong.
