What is the science behind audiophile fuses?

@reimarc ,

Told ya...

@tonywinga ,

Agreed. Our beliefs are our beliefs. Certainly no hard feelings and my apologies to all for side tracking the discussion. Because, you know, that rarely happens!🤓

I have never used an audiophile fuse so I can't comment on them either way.

But, I believe the forthcoming answers will be long on opinion and short on objective facts. 

Who wants hot buttered and who wants kettle corn? 🍿

Where’s millercarbon when you need him?

Down at the nearest body of water trying to walk on it...

@reimarc ,

Kudos to you for a well thought out, balanced and logical opinion.

 last time I checked, we didn’t know how gravity works.

I suggest you check again...

" But the sciences that are more theoretical, astrophysics, anthropolgy, etc are built on a fragile system of suppositions and yet people build a belief system around these theories as a way to find comfort in their existence."

I also don’t understand this statement. I think the exact opposite to be true.

People find comfort in their existence by building a belief system around religion, not scientific theories.

"Science can’t prove the earth is older than 6000 years. "

@tonywinga ,

I suggest a bit of in depth research on radiocarbon dating.

Extreme accuracy up to 12,000+ years. After that, less accurate to 50,000.

My eyes are open. If you had researched it, then you would know about dendrochronology and Bayesian Modeling and would know that it’s not art and guess work and wouldn’t have made that statement. It's come a long way since its inception.

Since radiocarbon dating is strictly for organic material, do you also discount methods to date the Earth itself, such as Rubidium-Strontium Dating, Potassium Argon Dating, and Uranium-Thorium-Lead Dating? If so, what is behind your belief?

@tonywinga ,

Where abouts are you down there?

Poor little Cedar Key is getting it good, but it looks like one of my favorite places, Apalachicola, is going to get spared. Might get a little dicey for Sopchoppy and Carrabelle, though. Hope you ride it out safely!

Jerry, you get my #1 vote for a well written, logical and informative post on this contentious subject.

@mitch2 ,

What is an in wall magnetic breaker going to do that the breaker in your panel isn’t?

For that matter, what is one of those Swiss Digital Fuse Boxes doing that the breaker in your panel can’t? Also, what makes it Swiss, does it yodel when it goes off or something??!

Aren’t they all doing the exact same thing, whether they’re attached to the power cord, at the outlet, or in the breaker box?

@mapman ,

That’s the most plausible answer I can come with, too.

If something is going to fry inside your amp for whatever reason, how is any safety device placed outside your amp going to prevent that?

I’m totally open minded here, I’d just like someone to explain it to me.

@mitch2 ,

Sorry man, rereading how I wrote that sounds like I’m getting onto you about what you’re considering. That’s in no way the case. It's actually a general question to anyone who has a plausible explanation.

@carlsbad2 ,    @mitch2 ,

You guys are light years ahead of me with this stuff and I have a question for you:

If you have a dedicated line to your amp, and your amp has say 6.3 amp fast blow fuses in it, would putting a low current 6 amp breaker in your panel do the same thing?
