Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
I suspect the benchmark for Uber Skeptics and Tweakaphobes is whether you laughed so hard that milk squirted out of your mouth. Ta ta

Mapman, you probably didn’t get the memo. Fuses are not only directional in DC circuits, they’re directional in AC circuits, too. You know, when the alternating current is moving in the correct direction the voltage drop is measured as lower acros...

This popped up during an Internet search. It’s written by Ted at Synergistic Research. What he’s saying here is that the lettering on the fuse is only a tool to show the direction of the fuse before you reverse it, so you won’t lose track and acci...

"With 19 fuses and either direction the choice, if my math still works correctly, I think that would be 2e19 combinations, which would be fun to perform and see what the optimal combination was by listening. Could be a hobby for lifetime and then ...

Hey, whaddya know? Al and I finally agreed on something. Try the fuse both ways. Halleluja! I have a feeling Mapman is probably biting his lip about now.Geoff Kaitmachina dynamicawe do artificial atoms rite

In the case of the Audio Magic Beeswax fuse (assuming he’s using the same stock fuse as he did for the Super Fuse (which I had) to drill out and squirt in the beeswax) the stock fuse manufacturer is either unaware of fuse directionality or chooses...

Does the ceiling fan affect the sound?
All joking aside, bowls of cold water on the floor out in front of the speakers are the only way to fly if it's modifying the way acoustic waves propagate through air you're after. 
Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
Hello, just curious, how can they test a WA Quantum Chip? Has anyone actually tried to test one? I am not referring to listening tests, I’m already on board the whole freewheelin’ WA Chip thing. I’m referring to more uh, traditional tests. For exa...
