What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
Certain things (at least at this point) cannot be measured in order to provide data that can be interpreted by independent observers demonstrating ironclad proof of an effect or lack thereof.  It doesn't mean there is no effect.  A foolproof test... 
Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet
It's like Wireless does not exist. Get a good wireless mesh network and stop listening to the worries of people concerned about the metal in their power plugs. Unless you have $1M system do you think your Ethernet connection is the biggest issue y... 
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
Depends on amps and speakers. If you have a 3 or more way where only fairly deep bass can be isolated to one amp, maybe. I think you would need to be pushing your system hard for it to matter.  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
If we apply that same rule, why do 90% of the owners of amplifiers such as Boulder, Pass, Soulution, etc. buy a power cable, when the device already comes with one as standard. Probably because they can. Perhaps those that buy those amps are m... 
Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked?
Think of thermal compression at 1 watt at 84db vs. 1 watt at 99db!!  I’ve heard the difference hundreds of times…… the 84db (low sensitivity) sounds stuffy and congested with no dynamics. Doesn’t really matter what topology    When you figure ... 
Loudspeaker sensitivity and dynamics: are the two inexorably linked?
I think you are barking up a tree there @alexberger . No way crossover parts are heating as much as voice coil. Inductors probably not at all and what are we paying all that money for fancy resistors for??  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
No need @thecarpathian. I did check. We still don't know for sure how gravity works. Lots of theories. Nothing for sure. Now some think they have discovered a new force as well at the subatomic level.      
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
I don’t know the deep darkest secrets of quantum mechanics and how that effects the covalent bonds of the alloys that make up my car. I am not even sure that is a totally logical statement. I expect the engineers that designed it don’t either. I a... 
Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now?
The other side of this is that I used to want to pursue a better amp/DAC for my Sabrina's but now I don't really.  After having heard the DAW's I know the Sabrina's will never reach that level, regardless of gear.  So spending on a amp/DAC seems ... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
@reimarc , I don't know the answer to your question. I don't even know if there is an answer to your question. After reading 80 replies I do know you will not find the answer here.

A quote from Sting/Police, Another suburban family morning Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Krispies We can’t hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all h...
