We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

cleeds - It’s fair to question positive results.

Absolutely. This is why it behooves those who claim to hear an improvement when an ordinary fuse/wire is reversed to be honest with themselves and do a blind test (i.e. a test where ones ears are the only sensory organ involved). 👂

nonoise - It's deja vu all over again.

I've highly recommended Amy > Bob > Amy > Bob, however, Amy > CSNY  > Amy > CSNY is acceptable.

nonoise - A troll is a troll is a troll.

@geoffkait 

This is your queue.

uberwaltz - Somebody has really lost the plot big time here......
My head is spinning!

That would be Geoff. Not only has he fallen completely out-of-queue, he missed the questions mitch2 has posed. 🤓

uberwaltz - What more requirements does a buyer and user of an aftermarket fuse NEED than that they can hear a difference?

Nothing, unless you're not looking to be as honest with yourself as you could otherwise be.

uberwaltz - Sorry but I listen to music not science.

No apology necessary. Listening to music is more than many others have professed though. Good for you. Keep in mind I've offered you music, and I have yet to read/hear back from you.

@cleeds 

Look, I'm truly sorry if my written replies offend you in any way.

Have you considered that "Ain't nobody messin' with you but you"?

cleeds - If offense was your objective, it's unfortunate that you've been disappointed.

@geoffkait 

This is your queue.

nonoise - That would make as much sense as Bob > Carol > Ted > Alice.

It makes more sense than your current listening criteria to verify after-market fuse worthiness, which is nothing more than "I hear a difference".

geoffkait - I bet establishing the proper orientation of all six fuses was a bear. 🐻

Your operative words are "I bet". I've asked. You've declined. That ends that argument. 🤑

nonoise - Why aren’t you trolling all the other threads on the above mentioned gear and having at it?

To begin with, I’m not trolling. In any case, if you consider my replies trolling, that is your business. Unfortunately, site "rules" do not allow me to respond adequately to your question. Suffice it to say, however, that the U.S. is a great place to visit in the summertime.

@kosst_amojan

nonoise - You’re wrapped way too tightly costco.

@nonoise

You’ve stooped to a new low. Name calling? Congratulations. You’ve joined the ranks of geoffkait and cleeds.

EDIT:

All the best.

nonoise - .....to say someone needs to calm down (which is what "wrapped too tightly" implies) is not name calling.....

@nonoise 

That would be true.  However, I'm referring to your addressing kosst_amojan as costco. Please refer to your 04-27-2018 5:19pm post.

mitch2 - Serious question...is there any way this thread could be more entertaining? Dancing bears.....

@mitch2
I agree. This thread - and the forum in general - is entertaining. And for that, I’m grateful to everyone. 🙂

geoffkait - That’s why humans have five senses, including the sense of hearing.

Yes, but in the case of fuses and where audio is concerned, hearing is the only sense that should be relied upon. So if your not making your determination that SR fuses are better in a blind test, you're doing it wrong.

@geoffkait 

This is your queue.

fleschler - As to SR duplexes and fuses, installed correctly, they are quite obvious in their audio reproduction benefit.

Then you should have no problem demonstrating your ability to reliably hear a difference in a blind test. I believe I (paraphrasing) asked/offered not long ago, and you declined.

geoffkait -  It’s never a bad time to post for the sake of posting, eh spaceman? It counts whether it’s a paragraph or a plus sign. Keep your dog in the fight. Even though your dog is a poodle. 🐩

Monty Python was never as funny as this though

uberwaltz -  But agreed it would be hard for even Monty Python to write some of this stuff!

fleschler - I was not offered the stupid blind test; however, I can afford it but why would I bother since I already know how superior the SR blue and circuit breakers are to cheap fuses.

To confirm whatever difference you believe you are hearing. This is for your benefit, as in being honest with yourself.

@ptss 

Same post of mine was just made in another thread, but this is worth repeating, IMO.

I understand your point. And I have no disagreement.

For what its worth, I've made my suggestion/recommendation known to Audiogon. The essence of my suggestion is to enhance forum moderation, by empowering the OP with some additional functionality (overview below) .

Let's be honest. The main issue or problem persona is GK. I simply believe in the eye-for-an eye, tooth-for-a-tooth scenario.

I've provided two channels for change, either one (or both) of which will have a dramatic impact. One is the enhanced forum moderation function, another is that I've essentially invited those who state the impossible to come visit Long Island NY and be my guest.

uberwaltz - However instead of clogging up other threads why don't you start a thread just on that subject and let's discuss it there?

Point taken. In this case it was a direct response to ptss within the thread where the presumed offense has occurred.
