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

I have been eating more fish(thanks)!

Some should stick with giving nutrition advice.

Just noticed, my moniker was mentioned. Referring back to my first post: while subatomic particles(pick one) have been detected, their paths traced, their mass determined and even some created, "no one has ever been able to actually observe(as in seen, viewed or watched) the ways electrons function." That’s WHY the study of such is called, ’Particle/Quantum/Atomic/etc Theory’. Any scientist should recognize the foolishness, of making(attempted) categorical statements based on theories(ie: Band Gap Theory/QED/Electrical/etc).   I've never met a scientist, that I've found dissuading others from experimenting/learning for themselves.

Tried smoking banana peels, in the 60's(per Donovan's recommendation).   Doesn't work.   Had to experiment, though!

All I feel is sympathy.

Some of us(restless souls) experiment, learn and grow, our entire lives.   Others remain wherever they may be, feeling comfortable and safe in their castles of complacency.    I’d call it, "stuck"(a personal opinion).    But- long as they’re happy..........

I’d forgotten a conversation, months back, in which Geoff informed me, "energy is nothing." I mentioned that they’d just disproved Relativity and decided any further discussions with them, would be folly. Gotta work on my memory(my Physics is just fine)!

If one fails to grasp the concept of energy ALWAYS flowing, from a greater to a lesser potential(ie: a generating station, to an amp’s power supply), they can’t have much of a foundation, for their purported knowledge, let alone their, "argument".

Regarding energy flow/transfer; anyone, with even an iota of scientific awareness, should be familiar with the Second Law of Thermodynamics! http://www.ftexploring.com/energy/2nd_Law.html

I'm a firm believer, in wood.   The harder, the better!

"However energy is conveyed in only one direction, from source to load, putting aside reflection effects that occur mainly at RF frequencies."

@captaindidactic- Read almarg’s response. "Better" will always be in the eyes/ears of the beholder/listener. Subjectivity/individual taste reigns! You won’t know what you’ll like, "better", until you try it for yourself. But, DO experiment(and have fun)!

No one will be able to categorically answer your questions because no one has ever been able to actually observe the ways electrons function. There are theories/theorums, however. None of which would discount the possibility, that any or all of the phenomena that we observe/hear, in whatever fuse/cable/etc changes we might make, aren’t real. Best theory, of late(20th/21st Centuries), holds that electrons exist as a kind of cloudy/indistinct wave, with possibilities of location, anywhere in that wave and don’t appear as a particle, until measured/detected/observed(much simplified). As Bohr(a fellow Physicist, with whom Einstein had conversations/issues, regarding entanglement/nonlocality/etc) once said, "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." btw: Bohr’s been proven correct. https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/quantum-physics/quantum-numbers-and-orbitals/a/the-quantum-mechanical-model-of-the-atom and: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ypw5pw/how-could-quantum-physics-get-weirder-shattered-wavefunctions
