Mitch wrote,"Much discussion here about trusting your ears and how science cannot explain everything and yet, I am skeptical about the level of sonic difference (if any) that can be attributed to changing a fuse. I am exponentially more skeptical ... | |
| Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear Asking why a system is too bright is like asking a mechanic why a car won't start. There are so many possible reasons that it would take a book to list and explain them all. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. "Also in order for the experiment to have any validity at all you would have to be able to re create the same situation , over and over and over again. i.e. you should be able to hear that if someone had changed the direction of the fuse without y... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. No noise wrote,"Naw, it was to imply that there’s no real answer here that can be agreed upon."Let’s just write the whole thing off as another one of those controversial things that get audiophiles’ goat. If someone didn’t come along many years af... | |

| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Mapman wrote,"It’s easy to label someone a skeptic if they disagree with something, anything."There are skeptics who believe the US carried out the attacks of 911 and they have lots of "evidence" to back it up. Ditto the moon landing. I would prob... | |

| Has anyone found Audio Nirvana? I'll say it again. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter Audio Nirvana. | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Al wrote,"BTW, Geoff has said at least one thing in this thread that I agree with, although he did not originate the saying. From one of his posts above: Keep an open mind but not so open your brain falls out."That's true, I did not originate the ... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Someone wrote and George quoted, in reference to Black Fuses,"- I feel there was a very, very subtle loss of realism in instrument/vocal texture."Interesting...hmmmmm | |

| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Thom wrote,"Another consideration regarding directionality. A fuse which is properly specified for the circuit is half way toward melting."How so, Thom? If that’s actually true, what is the relationship of being "half way toward melting" to direct... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Geoffkait: "Where is all this angst and hostility coming from?"to which Mapman responded,"Look in the mirror."Mapman, I took your advice and looked in the mirror. However I did not see my reflection. What’s up with that? Apparently no thread is to... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. Atmasphere wrote,"Incorrect. They don’t mark the fuse with arrows indicating its directionality, they mark it with a logo that is easily confused. This is done to buy into the myth that fuses are directional, and thus they sell more fuses. There i... |
