Fuses that matter.
"All that am saying is that it is ridiculous to a priori reject that any variable can be found that contributes to the sound of a fuse."I would agree if reworded slightly."All that am saying is that it is ridiculous to a priori reject that any var... 
Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C
I do not know Vandys well, but I read a 1c review that indicated some breakup noticeable at higher volumes with more challenging kinds of music. OHM 100s were also referred to as well indicating a similar situation. SOme other third speaker type a... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
OK, you can find it on this site under "tests" if you look.Translation by Google:German OHM 1000 Review 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
There's a news flash now on the OHM site:"IN THE NEWSMay 14, 2012Thank You Germany.The Walsh 1000s received a fine review in Germany and we are expecting to have a good translation very soon.We are running about 10-15 working days for standard ord... 
Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C
"I'd have a pair of the 5000's if I could afford them."ME too. Maybe next time I have a good excuse to upgrade.My OHM 5 series 3 ended up costing me a fraction of list price due to taking advantage of several incentives that OHM offered at the tim... 
Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow?

Tbg,WOuld you agree that there are a lot of ifs and maybes still in this discussion?Back in grad school, where I did in fact study applied science and even conducted some award winning research, we were taught that the scientific method can be use... 
Fuses that matter.
Geof from Machina Dynamica asked:"The data also shows measured differences were due to fuse direction. Hel-loooo! What does your intuition tell you about that data? Lol"I've already stated that back towards the beginning of this thread. See below.... 
Analytical or Musical Which way to go?
I am not a fan of distinguishing audio in terms of musical or analytical. I just do not find much value in this distinction.HEy, its music! Of course it should be musical! But so what? Ask 10 people what musical means and you will get 10 different... 
Fuses that matter.
Well, I was done with this thread but now that there is some more real data to apply, what the hey. Thanks Bryon (I think).SO it makes sense to me that resistance and voltage across different fuses varies somewhat and is not exactly the same.Also ...

Drew, Makes sense. Thanks. 
Fuses that matter.
So just in case anybody still cares after all this, i will recap my thoughts about fuses1. Fuses clearly effect sound. No fuse, no sound. Pretth clear. 2. A fuse that sounds bad is probably defective and should be replaced3. If all seems well ther...

Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C
I believe you do pay return shipping if you return the ohms. I use my 100s for video as well as audio and voices sound good. I The ohm omni presentation and the wide range walsh driver are the unique things with the ohms. If what you read about th...
