Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax

Kosst, you can't claim "science and measurements" only when it suits your needs.  You stated in another thread your Focal speakers have just as good dynamics as high efficiency speakers.  Where are your measurements for this?  You're stating your subjective experience, just like everyone else here.

This is a hobbyist's group. No one here is required to produce measurements to suit your sensibilities. Everyone is free to post their subjective experiences without being subject to demands or attacks.

Good point, but somehow the rules do not apply to some. Seems like posts are removed on one side of the argument. 

Um yeah, that was kind of my point.

Who or what is the false authority being appealed to? The person making the claim is automatically the authority of the claim. Being unconvinced by a claim lacking a legitimate theory, supported by dubious evidence, and built on broken logic doesn't make somebody an authority or "false authority" because it takes no authority to observe the obvious. It makes the unconvinced party not a gullible fool.

No. It's not as you authoritatively assert, which is part of an appeal to false authority.

I'm pretty sure your base rate fallacy claim isn't right either. That has to do with statistics and probabilities, and there aren't any statistics or probabilities in question it would apply to. Maybe it's not a Texas sharp shooters fallacy, but Geoff is certainly appealing to the authority a sales number represents, which is an insignificant number that doesn't prove anything.

Again, no. It can simply be the claim of a number or amount.

The base rate fallacy, also called base rate neglect or base rate bias, is a formal fallacy. If presented with related base rate information (some fuses sold) and specific information (all fuses sold), the mind tends to ignore the former and focus on the latter. 

Kind of like a red herring.

Just so we know what Appeal to Authority means, you know, since it comes up so much.

An argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate), also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam, is a form of defeasible[1] argument in which a claimed authority’s support is used as evidence for an argument’s conclusion. It is well known as a fallacy, though some consider that it is used in a cogent form when all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context.[2][3] Other authors consider it a fallacy to cite an authority on the discussed topic as the primary means of supporting an argument.[4]

The claim 90,000 aftermarket fuses have been sold is not an Appeal to Authority. It’s actually evidence of the great success of the fuses, which lends credence to the idea that they probably work as advertised. Most likely audiophile fuse companies would have been run out of town on a rail a long time ago had their products failed to deliver. On the other hand, we’ve heard from some people who claim they didn’t get the results everybody else did. However, since there are only a few of them, it’s probably best to throw them out like any other outliers. We already know for any audiophile thingamabob there will always be a few who don’t get good results. That’s kind of how the cookie 🍪 crumbles.

Please name the 90,000 persons who have purchased the aftermarket fuses that you oft refer to.  How about naming 1,000 of them, maybe 100?

The defense rests its case.  Mr. Burger, your cross.

‘Fuses matter’

Well, let’s see. There’s Johnny. And Jim. And Roger. There’s Sally, Bruce and Molly and Alton. There’s Agnes, Flo, Bonnie and Herb. Make that two Herbs. There’s also Henrietta, Reggie, Neil and Boo Boo. Alex, Frank, Drew, Clayton, Harvey, Louise and Dave. I forget the rest.

Talk about a delayed reaction. 

It seems from this and other posts of yours on other threads you no longer have a leg to stand on and can't dominate the conversations as you used to so it's just insults and invectives from here on out. Noted.

All the best,

‘Fuses matter’

Typical, 3 posts all on fuses, another SR fuser recruitee.

This is true George. I have been watching this forum for a while and it seems like trolls like you and the other Star Trek fanboy have the floor with your inhospitable attitudes. Have fun.  

I may have read this on another thread on this forum,  but I recently purchased a pair of Magnepan 3.7i speakers.  Do any of you have experience with base fuses with audiophile ones (I already replaced the the basic jumpers with the Cardas jumpers)?

Give these forums something legit, I only have one thing to say.

As long as a fuse is doing its job and not blowing due to sketchy ratings (like SR fuses do), they add or subtract exactly zero from the component, and that's as it should be.

@gormdane, the most dedicated Maggie owners bypass the entire fuse assembly, and replace the stock speaker cable hookup connectors . The holes drilled in the speaker’s back panel for the speaker cable connectors (horrid things, containing parts made of ferrous metals) are the same size as those required by Cardas binding posts, and all the other parts (including the fuse block, which has parts made of steel!) and connections can be easily by-passed. Some owners report hearing a huge improvement in transparency. You can read all about it on the Speaker Planar Asylum.

My last post was removed simply because I pointed out the OP scammed Synergistic Research out of 4 expensive fuses and to be wary doing any business with him. Moderators, whom would you rather protect, the vast majority of honest Audiogon members, or the dishonest ones? I ask you to read Ted_d's post on page one.
