The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
@uberwaltz Nothing that could not be explained or discovered. Delivering a safe aircraft to the flying public demands that no weird anomalies exist. If it is acting strangely there is always a reason and it must be discovered and corrected. Also note that fuses do not have a direction as AC flows equally in both directions. |
Now I need go sacrifice a goat or two...... You and Geoff can do a double take on that one, using his avatar. http://sshc.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/bm10.jpg http://sshc.in/voodoo-dolls-black-magic-voodoo-love-spells-evil-spirits/ Cheers George |
I went to the Synergistics website and was greeted with nonsensical marketing terms of things that do not exist and a claim about what physicists know with absolutely no citation much less a credible one. Even if it did somehow alter anything, it would only be absorbed by the ripple softening capacitors in the power supply. The rails take Rectified and filtered DC only with electrons flowing in one direction at the same speed on each rail which is a constant given. I somehow envision that someone will market exotic diodes for power supplies in the future that some will claim transforms and lift veils and never knew how good their equipment could sound even though diodes only consist of two semiconductors, one doped with P type doping and one with N type doping and are either forward or reverse biased depending on the polarity of the input but plenty of people would buy into the marketing. Apparently only Synergistics has found a way to use Quantum Mechanics in a fuse that nobody else has. Perhaps they should use this knowledge for advanced space travel by bending the destination toward them and getting the hell away from us. This no different than all the useless pills and books advertised on TV promising to transform you to the vitality of a 17 year old with a libido the size of Texas. If we spent half as much on healthcare as we do on useless nonsense, there would be no healthcare crisis, not related to audio but the exact same concept. This reminds me of twenty years ago where this company was selling fake rocks to place on your equipment to absorb whatever the pet emi devil that was marketed at the time. I knew someone who dissected one only to find a piece of dupont corian inside. He threatened to go to CES and throw it from a high balcony so it breaks on the pavement and others could see what was really inside. They were rather nervous and begged him not to do it. |
dwstudeman is calling audiophiles dopes if we believe fuses and directionality make an audible difference. Fine, calls us names but it won't change the FACT that 10,000s of audiophiles believe differently as well as some manufacturers. My skeptical manufacturing friend heard it and chose to change from fuses to circuit breakers to increase the surface area of the protection circuit, just like putting a large gauge wire or metal block in the place of a tiny fuse wire. That's the only reason he came up with for the vast difference between fuses-that they are NOT made the same or operate the same way and are different. Otherwise, he's satisfied that there exists a difference even without explaining the why of it. |
