| Lowering the noise floor One of my favorite quotes was by Shannon Dickson in Stereophile magazine, referring to CES in Law Vegas that year, “I went to the geek meet in the Desert, where once again almost all of the exhibitors failed to get up out of the noise floor.” | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Look, it’s really the same thing as the Dunking Chair. The Dunking Chair was used to find out if the suspected witch really was a witch. 🧙🏻♀️If she died in the Dunking Chair she couldn’t have been a real witch, since a real witch would have been ... | |

| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? kosst_amoganI’ve made this point before, but I’ll make it again. Anything that can be heard can be measured. I don’t understand why some of you think that there are some characteristics in audio that don’t have a measurement signature, but that is... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? pbnaudioPerhaps because we want the protection a properly designed and manufactured fuse provides, you know the ones by Bussman or Littlefuse (sic) for an example. >>>>>Wow! Another manufacturer checks in. “We don’t need any of your... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Wow! I think I see what the problem is. Some people are confusing real skepticism, you know the spirit of curiosity and investigation - the backbone of all scientific endeavor - with simply being overly suspicious or even superstitious. I suspect ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Almarg wrote,”Does all of that sound at least somewhat implausible, even though Ralph’s claims are based on actual experiments? It would not be unreasonable to think so, IMO. However, I feel safe in saying that to most of those having an extensive... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? MapmanThey are also not complicated devices and as difficult to understand as some vendors make them. Its reasonable to expect that some portion of the discussion about them is just noise but hey only one way to find out if one actually cares. Per... | |
| Most overrated bands Kiss was never rared as never rated very high so how can be overrated? Actually they had one good song. It’s on KISS Unplugged, their cover of the Stones song, 2000 Man. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Mapman wrote,”People will think and do what they will and are not likely to change, especially the older folks like me.”Can I quote you on that? 😀 Next to, “Only quote facts,” yours is my favorite. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Frankly, and I certainly have no animosity towards anyone, nor intend any disrespect, but I disregard with prejudice what ANY pseudo skeptic, naysayer or Crusader Rabbit presents as evidence or proof for any controversial tweak, including fuses, f... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? The ONLY way we have of observing reality, of perceiving the world around us, is through the senses. That’s why we have eyes and ears. To see the world and hear what is there. For Early Man hearing was absolutely critical for his survival, what wi... | |
| Can't we all just get along? willemjGeoff, I am not German (my grandfather sailed in convoys on the Atlantic and landed in Normandy delivering ammo on the beach while my father was in a labour camp). But what is the point of such xenophobic remarks? Modern Germany is a perfec... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Mapman, sadly, the mildly interesting theory of the flakey fuse holder was debunked. Didn’t you get the memo? 😳 Your excellent use of name dropping notwithstanding. | |
| Can't we all just get along? The problem in a nutshell is that one man’s fact is another man’s opinion. A recent post stated, ”only quite facts.” Which I (very tactfully, of course) mocked. When two or more people agree on whether some fact is TRUE it doesn’t necessarily mean... |
