To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!


Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

elizabeth"I have read about tube amps bursting into flames"

Amplifiers intended for use in Music Reproduction Systems that burst unexpectedly into flames is not limited, confined, or exclusive to "tube" amplifiers perhaps the most famous, legendary, and most notable of these would be the "Flame Linear" (Phase Linear) and "SureFire" (Sunfire) amplifiers that are the exclusive design, manufacture, and creation of the legendary Bob Carver!

The following is so laughably incorrect, I don't know whether the poster was honestly communicating what they believe or if they were trolling. This is wrong. It is not open to debate (unless you have no clue how electricity works). Of course energy is transferred in both directions."

No has has claimed, asserted, or argued otherwise perhaps you are confused, disoriented, or lack proper reading comprehension.

Excuse me?  That is EXACTLY what someone claimed. This is a direct quote from this thread."


Youhave not provided the quote to which you so strongly object, protest, and dispute.

"It seems it is you that lacks reading comprehension or just wanted to look like the big man on the block, but were too lazy to do due diligence or perhaps you just don't understand the topic at hand"

Insults! Insults! Insults! Is that the New American Way to develop, pursue, and prosecute an argument, reason, or belief it is beginnin g to look that way! 
"you should open up your electronics and start playing around with the direction of every resistor and non polarized capacitor too .... let me know how that goes."

You are free to design, specify, and perform you're own tests, studies, and analysis and let us know how that goes but you can not insist, demand, and require others to perform you're testing for you on your behalf at you're insistence, demand, and order.

I could never understand why people who are not engineers or physicists pretend that they are or Audio forums. Anyone can read the posts that I am making here and instead of a few hand-waving lines, my posts are detailed, I can use REAL numbers where warranted, and I don't run away when pushed."

Are you what is known as a a "stable genius" when it comes to matters involving Music Reproduction Systems?

while you "enjoy" your retirement of anger, I am working on my next "deal" ... just a few million units ... of real electronics"

That which can be submitted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence do those words sound familiar to you at all?

Reading your last few posts where you attempt to be the "social justice MOM" for all the AGon community, i am just going to ignore, from here on out, every single post YOU make. If you are so triggered by me, I suggest you do the same"

I will read the posts that I alone decide to read and advice you that it is a violation to threaten anyone in this forum.
