The secret to a great amplifier...


Is a $150 Orange fuse from Synergistic Research. Seriously, extreme boost in sonic performance. Blacker background, larger soundstage... if I wanted to make some bucks, I’d put these is cheap OEM compnents and start letting the accolades and purchasers come calling.

Mind you, I have a high value-oriented $20k system, so it was nice before, but damn!

Anyone interested in whether installing a better fuse (whether high-Dollar, "audiophile", or- simply a better constructed one, as mentioned by some), can make a difference in your system’s presentation: just TRY them, for yourselves, as did this thread’s OP.      The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens!            Whatever the rationale; if it sounds better TO YOU, it will have been worth the effort.               
"If you can’t measure......"      That’s been, "science’s" failing, throughout it’s history and- always my point.      ie: Knowing how or what to measure.      If you had the slightest background (or- genuine interest) in the subject, you’d understand.      With no foundation/higher education in Physics  (obviously), you can’t begin to grasp anything (the, "possibilities") to which I refer.     Hence; your posts are full of uneducated, "leaps" (assumptions) and any responses (on my part) are a waste of keystrokes.
"You can't claim to be a person of science on one hand, then conveniently reject the science that does not agree with what you want to believe (and accuse other people of Dunning Kruger)."         As I stated earlier;   "A modicum of Wave-Particle Duality and QED study, can open one's eyes to the POSSIBLITIES, surrounding what's happening with conductors, dielectrics, and our voltages/signals."     None of it (modern Physics) supports AC pushing electrons through a wire.      Of course; that's was what being taught as, "Science" (regarding electricity) by the Engineering Dept, while the Physics Dept was teaching voltage/signal wave propagation, at Case.     That was the Sixties.    QED was still young and related in lectures.        No one that can prove via, "Science" that changing a fuse can't make a audible difference, or: vice versa.        All anyone has, at present, is Electrical THEORY.       Again; theories don't prove anything, but: I choose to put my confidence in the latest (I like to keep up).           I'm not on this forum, to impress or convince anyone, of anything, by winning some kind of educational or semantic, Urinational Olympics.      Only: to encourage those, so disposed as to experiment for themselves and confident in their systems and faculties (their own minds, GASP), to do so.        That the variables are manifold should be obvious, to most anyone.      As should: the propensity of some, to constantly change subjects.       I'm of the opinion: pleasing one's own ears, is ALL that matters.
Far as, "a proper experiment", as I said, "IF you’re interested in improving your system’s presentation, have a shred of confidence in your capacity for perceiving reality and trust your own senses: try a better fuse, FOR YOURSELF."         
   "........knowing more about what happens at the atomic level does not change what happens at the macro level."          BUT; new knowledge will, generally, help us understand the WHY (at least: get us closer).      A modicum of Wave-Particle Duality and QED study, can open one's eyes to the possibilities, surrounding what's happening with conductors, dielectrics, and our voltages/signals.          Of course; arguments between theories and concepts will never end.     The only thing that should matter here, is what one hears for themselves, in their own home.      
Again:     No one can possibly know whether fuses will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves.      Some companies offer a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, so- those that are actually interested, have absolutely nothing to lose.     Anyone that knows anything about the sciences, realizes that something like 96% of what makes up this universe, remains a mystery.       For centuries; humanity’s seen, heard, felt and otherwise witnessed phenomena, that none of the best minds could explain, UNTIL they developed a science or measurement, that could explain it.     The Naysayer Church wants you to trust their antiquated science (1800’s electrical theory) and faith-based, religious doctrine, BLINDLY ("Trust ME!", their credo).    Theories have never proven or disproven anything.     It’s testing and experimentation that proves or disproves theories.       IF you’re interested in improving your system’s presentation, have a shred of confidence in your capacity for perceiving reality and trust your own senses: try a better fuse, FOR YOURSELF.           The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens!
