Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
"What is the SE? "I'm guessing the latest microwalsh that may use different drivers than before (just plain Microwalsh?) similar to 1000 series. Not certain though. Maybe someone else knows for sure? 
Fuses that matter.
Bryon,You are a brave man!Will look forward to your findings.Remember that the primary function of a fuse is to provide protection against current surges. If a fuse sounds great but fails to blow when it should, that would be a no go for me.Also I... 
Fuses that matter.
So based on the measured data provided, I'm still leaning towards that the electrical effect of the fuse is in general too insignificant to matter.Maybe someone else will come up with some new measured data to contradict? I will not discount hears...

Twilight Zone!Where's Rod Serling to explain these things when you need him?Seems to me the two possibilities (not mutually exclusive) are the differences in fuses do make a noticeable difference in sound or the listeners think they heard a differ... 
Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C
GOod advice from Joefish.

SHould be interesting. Two radically different designs to chose from! THe Wharfdales appear to pack a lot of hardware into that package for that price!

How much were the Wharfdales?I would say the OHMs have similar characteristics as you describe liking with the Wharfdales but the presentation and interaction with room acoustics will be much different I suspect. Should be interesting. Keep us pos...

There is nothing wrong with people buying what they want but surely nobody can object to getting the facts straight as well?

Geof, As a vendor of controversial tweak audio products, is it reasonable to think that you might be biased? When i start my audiophile fuse business and bring the funky little fuse to market, i will likely become a member of that club also if you...

Is fox news biased? How about cnn? These are major providers of news to millions. So yes it is quite possible.

Tbg, You indicated a preference for slo blow fuses. The main function of a fuse is protection. Are you sure use of slos blow fuses is recommended for your gear? They may be more conductive than thin filament types but may not be appropriate always...

It is very possible that the reported observations regarding benefits of certain fuses are biased. 
Fuses that matter.
Yep. No doubt it could be. Nothing has been proven as best i can tell. 
need suggestion for external CD ripping drive
Check my system page.I've been using Seagate external USBs for ripping and backup now for a couple of years and I can highly recommend these. Very reliable and good performance. Comes with free backup software that is efficient, easy to use and is...

I believe drivers, sizes and pricing changed with the release of the latest 1000 series including microwalsh. I think size of mw stayed the same. Se edition may have some extra cosmetics. Not sure.....
