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!

I am afraid that is actually a good thing.

"Yes, you can pick anything you like from your inventory. Enjoy!"
"But what if I don’t WANT a placebo?"
Bad luck. Rumors are flying that all your products are a placebo.

geoffkait,

"But if I annoyed you, glubby, doesn’t that automatically make me a winner? Yes, it does!"
It would not necessarily make you a winner, but would surely make me a loser. Thankfully, you did not annoy me. Not yet.

"I have a product I call the Re-animator. It practically does the same thing and is a lot cheaper."
The same thing as what? You got my interest now.

Do not confuse "winner" with "annoyance".

"Actually, Steve Lacy breezed through the 400 degree experiment with ease."
In that case, he must have been a very cool guy.

Coincidentally, I usually bake pizza for 25 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit. Seems very hot from outside, or when I reach in.

This may, in fact, be a wrong forum to discuss that. NASS annual meetings may be better.

"The more I read about fuses and the distortion and noise they bring the happier I am I don’t use them any more."
More expensive fuses should be marketed as "noise-cancelling", or at least as "noise-non-inducing".

Would an airplane be less noisy if it used more expensive fuses?

"...where my friend Steve Lacy was in the heat chamber."
Tough job. Poor Steve must have been burnt-out.

"Don’t care how ... I only know that it does. How’s that for a scientific analysis?"
Be careful, someone could say that the answer would be in psychoanalysis.

"Graphene has a melting point of 4900K. I am not sure how practical it would be to use as a fuse."
Wait! You say graphene cannot make everything better? It does not have that magic touch that I learned about from one famous audiogon member’s posts over time? No photonic power? What a shame.

I learned what Thermotron chamber is. Good job everybody. Especially me.

At the same time, geoffkait, do I have to go through reality check of those impressive fuse numbers every six months? 100 000 fuses sold equals 10 000 -15 000 buyers, at best. Easily 5000 but I am a generous kind. It is overly enthusiastic to call it "the world". It is a number of inhabitants of some large residential building.

It is obvious from these threads that fuse-believers are very dedicated crowd. Which one of them bought only one fuse and then gave up?
