We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses


LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;)  BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially. 

More seriously, two question survey:

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil 

2. Have you ever tried them?  Yes or No

In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along... 
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

@gdhal, pseudoskeptics are the pegs clowns hang their unmentionables on. 🤡 I am the king of lies and the king of truth. You are the queen of pseudoskeptics.
geoffkait - It’s a time honored tradition here for me to have the last word.
Even if what you write is fiction, which you've since admitted you're the king of. 
geoffkait - I assume you misfired. Better load again.

Nope. "My aim is true", to quote Elvis Costello. 

Incidentally, even you would have to agree I was/am right about the fact that you have to have the last word. Read back a few posts.

As to drugs, should this forum close for 24 hours or more, or no members post in that period, you would suffer the worst withdrawal symptoms imaginable.

Carry on.

cleeds - I don't think brain damage is a funny topic.
Agreed. But my wallet and I are rather confident I don't have it.

cleeds, so your one of the high on life guys, or gals. And your busting gdhal’s chops for not being too afraid have tuned in and turned on along with millions of others.
You might want to read what I posted more carefully. I actually defended gdhal. I don’t think it’s amusing to mock people with brain damage.

You chiding me for not having consumed hallucinogenic drugs is just silly peer pressure.
your probably on the wrong forum.
Really? You have to do drugs to participate here?

Just so any interested party should know, any reference to me and drugs goes way back many years. Nothing current, except beer. I’d venture to say the majority of the world does or has tried some kind of drug, especially if one considers doctor prescribed drugs. Some of the greatest musicians have experimented too. Including the Beatles, which the vinyl lovers among the group typically revere. If you haven’t tried it, you ought to. It opens one mind to creativity and possibilities, not the impossible.

Uh, Earth to gdhal.👨‍🚀 Did drugs give you magic powers? Did drugs turn you into Carnak the Magnificent? Able to know anything about fuses without any experience or technical argument to back it up? Didn’t you get the memo? Drugs are sometimes unpredictable, unlike fuse directionality, making some folks minds contract and close down, you know, rather than expand and open up. Beer has an effect of dulling the mind from I observe. Maybe you should consider switching back to drugs. 🤠

... you should note that my statement regarding drugs refers to the past, not the present.
That's probably a good thing but, as you noted, the damage apparently lingers:

Admittedly, I suspect my mind isn't always as "normal" as it would have been had I not "experimented"
That's why I said people should not chide you for it. I don't think brain damage is a funny topic.
cleeds, so your one of the high on life guys, or gals.  And your busting gdhal's chops for not being too afraid have tuned in and turned on along with millions of others.  Hah, that's rich, your probably on the wrong forum.
Oh and cleeds, you might want to consider brushing up on the English language.

Thank you for quoting me, however, you should note that my statement regarding drugs refers to the past, not the present.

You made a similar mistake when you confused the words "offer" and "promoting". 🤑

clearthink,

America has enough problems without being blamed for the likes of georgehifi. Please get your facts straight before launching your next inappropriate assault on the US.

Oh dear! I can’t believe clearthink can think this way, read again "SLOWLY" it was reference to deleting posts as a potential forum cop.

And yes I’m from Australia, gods country, where we have gun controls so tight you can’t even own a BB gun here.

Cheers George

Go to China and Russia and see how much freedom they have and how they bully their own people as well as people all around the world (well, mostly Russia does that, China buys out foreign country interests). Trump may threaten but Russia acts surreptitiously to install itself wherever it wants to. It’s in Lebanon and Syria as well as Crimea and parts of Ukraine. Eastern Europe is afraid of Russia, not of the U.S.

As I've previously stated here and in the prior thread, audiophile fuses are a gift.
Moderators, feel free to clean up and close the thread; I've gotten what I wanted out of it. I suspect if it is allowed to continue the rancor that was found on the other thread will increase here. I would rather this be closed than to lose the good exchanges on the thoughts behind trying or not trying fuses.   :) 


And your on the hit list also sunshine.
A troll that threatens, and runs to the mods to get posts deleted. 
I'm quivering in my boots.
chrshanl37Oh “clearthink” lol

Oh yes its so funny when Americans with guns and bombs threaten others you are the world's tough guys for real then explain why the rest of the world laughs at you're country! What a mess but you guys love it guns guns guns go go go USA!

georgehifi
"And your on the hit list also sunshine.Cheers George"

You Americans with you’re guns and swagger and threats to others and you wonder why the rest of the world laughs at you! If I lived in the U.S. I would never post on this group why would I when one of your members threatens a "hit" over an audio post! You probably let nutjobs like this have a whole garage full of guns and bombs no wonder your USA is blowing itself up! But hey he’s a savior he won’t let people buy fancy fuses so he’s justified with this garbage. At least gdhal has a drug problem to blame for his crap this guy is just crazy so it’s ok why don’t you let him buy some more guns its his right after all! Freedom freedom freedom go go go USA!
Can we return to productive conversation? 

Now, where is our volunteer among the skeptics who will try an aftermarket fuse? It's not like I'm asking you to put up $1,000 for a cable. I'm guessing someone is willing to take a $50 risk to see if fuses make a distinct difference.

Geoff enough, it’s about time you stopped insinuating the gdhal is on drugs, otherwise your posts will be reported
Actually, gdhal already admitted to this:

geoffkait - Gdhal, would it be safe to say you’re experiencing another one of your Deadhead acid flashbacks? Or are you always like this? 😬 Question. Have you given any consideration to going back and finishing up your GED? 😀
Possible. Admittedly, I suspect my mind isn't always as "normal" as it would have been had I not "experimented"
Oddly, this same person is quick to accuse others of being delusional. But I agree that it's really not appropriate to chastise someone who has a brain injury or defect, even if it was self-inflicted.
Geoff enough, it’s about time you stopped insinuating the gdhal is on drugs, otherwise your posts will be reported.

Cheers George (potential forum cop)
gdhal, this is your brain 🧠 This is your brain on drugs 🍳

Just say No.
Wolf, George and gdhal-Not funny and just troublemakers.  Ruins the forums they inhabit.
folkfreak - Perhaps it's just the less constructive posters who are being blocked -- seems as if Geoff and I can post freely to the original Blue thread

Geoff, constructive? Thanks. I needed a good laugh.

That’s 2 "snake oil" fuse threads shut down, hope the others do too if they start with all the outrageous claims of of sound improvements for their systems being suddenly transformed.

But like I said they’re like weeds, pull one out and another one pops up. It’’s the mantra of the fusing shiller. And judging by Geoff’s post the weed seed has been sewn.

+1

It doesn't take a careful reading of George's last posting to see that it's his mission statement to be as big a troll as he can. Thanks, George, for finally telling the truth. 

If you don't feed the trolls, this thread can survive. 

All the best,
Nonoise

That’s the way it goes sometimes. Someone should start a new one but don’t tell you know who where it is. 😀
The thread is alive but the discussion is closed.  Check for yourself and see if you can post.  I can't, it states discussion is closed.
This is the last postings on that forum.  Notice the bottom statement from the moderator.  Maybe I'm wrong but it appears correct.

^Remember gk, by your own admission, 80 percent or more of your posts are fictitious.

Prove it. You can’t. That’s because you’re lying. Remember, you’re the flea. I’m the elephant. My guess is you attended one too many Dead concerts. One too many trips to the mind garden. 🌹 🌹 🌷 🥀 🌺

This discussion is closed 
The Blue Fuse thread is still open. There have been a few, ahem, deletions recently, I’m not saying that. 😀
Apparently, the The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... discussion has been closed by the moderator. Too acrimonious and slanderous for me anyway. The assertions by others who know better than me is that 75,000 after market audiophile fuses have been sold. That's a lot fuses.  My friends and I have all obtained their fuses in the past two years which may mean that sale of fuses is accelerating.  
@douglas_schroeder 

My sentiments too! I'd venture to say nearly everyone else on the forum as well!
No problem, douglas_schroeder, you may continue with your troll in peace. 😬 You represent yourself as kind of a wannabe.
geoffkait, how about we just don't talk to each other? No anger, but I just don't care for you. You present yourself as trying to be so helpful, then nitpick and irritate. So, please leave me alone. Thank you.  :) 


Such a strange answer. Details! Details! Why so reticent? Oh I know. You’re afraid of the blowback. 🤡
