| Fuses that matter. Hi Mapman - It seems like there's a growing consensus that IF fuses and/or fuse direction have audible effects, it must be as a result of fuse parameters that are either unmeasured or unmeasurable. If that's true, then the only "evidence" availabl... | |
| Fuses that matter. Bryon, you and Al think there are NON-QUALITATIVE reasons to believe fuses/direction can have audible effects? That's very interesting. Do you mean psychological reasons? Please expand.My statement of Al's views in my previous post was based on th... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-14-12: AlmargOn page 3 they state in reference to the resistance measurements that:"There is a measurable difference in directivity of fuses. Mostly that will be due to the way the melting wire is manufactured. The difference is in the range of... | |
| Fuses that matter. So what is it we are arguing about again?The Believer says to the Skeptic, "You must be deaf.The Skeptic says to the Believer, "You must be a fool."The Engineer says to the Believer, Where is the evidence?The Believer says to the Engineer, In ... | |
| Fuses that matter. I found another set of fuse measurements, this one done by Hifi Tuning. You can see it here.bc | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-13-12: AlmargJust to clarify, I think that in number 3 you are referring to other fuse-related variables, perhaps unexplainable ones.Yes. Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was saying that it's possible that there are properties of fuses that... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-12-12: AlmargThe most notable differences occur for non-harmonic frequency components that are at levels of 60 or 65 db or so below the amplitude of the 60 Hz component. Those differences were generally in the direction of favoring the expensiv... | |
| Fuses that matter. ...just curious, though, does your "technical intuition" come from a crystal ball or do you have a strong technical background?Hmm. Doesn't Machina Dynamica sell a crystal ball? | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-12-12: Almarg(a)The EXPLANATIONS that are offered for their purported effects do not stand up under quantitative scrutiny.Hi Al - There's a guy over on the Polk Audio forum who claimed his measurements corroborated both that fuses measure diffe... | |
| Fuses that matter. Mapman - I want a piece of that. There's gold in them hills!05-12-12: GeoffkaitI think it would be a fair statement to say, however, that many of the "arguments" presented in Zen and the Art of Debunkery actually do apply to many of the debates on... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-11-12: GeoffkaitAlmarg, you said,"The assessment was conducted in a sufficiently disciplined manner to rule out the possibility of misperception, placebo effect, or self-reinforcing mass hallucination..."The problem here, methinks, is that you ... | |
| Fuses that matter. 05-11-12: Kijanki...we discuss here if "major difference in my sound" that Tbg experienced can be repeated and benefit others.Hi Kijanki - Yes, the question of whether fuses can make a "major difference" in sound quality is one of the things we've... | |
| Fuses that matter. Roger makes a compelling case. When I hear things like that, it erodes my confidence in my (already tentative) belief that fuses have audible effects. Having said that, I conducted a second experiment (I use that term loosely) that corroborated (I... | |
| asymmetric apodizing filter Hi Glai - I recently uploaded an apodizing filter into my Meridian dac/preamp. To my ears, it is a remarkable improvement.FWIW, I did NOT upload Meridian's proprietary apodizing filter, although I had the option to do so. Instead, I uploaded an ap... | |
| Fuses that matter. Wow, Tbg. That was quite a volatile reaction. I suggest you take a cooling off period before you read my reply.Here was my initial comment I'm not saying that fuse direction can't have audible effects. I'm just saying that, for me, it did not. Th... |
