Fuses that matter.
Tbg, I did not say i rely solely on intuition. Those are your words and you are incorrect in jumping to that conclusion. Jumping to conclusions is clearly not good science!

One more thing regarding intuition. Some believe intuition is the driving force behind innovation. That makes sense to me and I would tend to agree.

Well, maybe I'm wrong. After all, its merely intuition. I do always try to keep an open mind though.

There are some products I have lower regard for than the MD products I have read about but it is truly hard to come up with many. Cigarettes are the ones that come to mind. Although I am of the opinion that the MD products are a sham, at least the...

Tbg,I'm not saying intuition is science. Look up the meaning. Two different things!Maybe someone with nothing better to do will do a scientific study on the effect of fuses on sound in audio systems.Meanwhile we will have to solely rely on our ind...

Geoff, There are smart people here. Scientists and engineers. How about actually discussing some of your scientific breakthroughs in scientific terms rather than muddying the waters via logic based on non-facts?"Onviously a lot of folks think many... 
Percentage of cable cost
I do not see any valuein chosing cables based on a %. All that assures is you spend a certain amount of money, nothing else. Very good wires do not have to cost a fortune. Makes no sense really. 
Analytical or Musical Which way to go?
The recording and/or the room acoustics and/or poor amplification would be the likely culprits for lifeless sound out of well executed speakers.
