  Upgrading Fuses
Have a Audio Research Ref 3 and am considering upgrading the fuses but I am a little skeptical. Would like to hear from people who have try this. Hard to believe that fuses can make a substantial difference like the manufacturers claim. All advice appreciated.

To the scientifically approaching people:

Explain me what is the "life" in any living being. What happens to this "life" after the living being dies? Where does it go? Can you track it? Can your degrees create or measure that "life"? If you can do that and explain my questions, I will start believing the following:
All amps are same
All wires are same
All fuses are the same
All humans....nope..that is going too far.

I guess some things cannot be explained by measurements or science. We can argue - why do we believe that humans evolved out of apes? Have you guys seen it happen with your own eyes? Nope, but we still believe it. On the other hand if we hear a component and find that it does sound different, why the hell are we arguing about it? It is in front of our very own eyes and we are listening to it with our very own ears!! He he he...got carried over.

The people on the other side of the fence can say, the non-believers are actually the ones who are wrong. Why? Because they "assume" everything in audio is the same - without actually using (trying) the product. Yes snake oil exists in abundance in any hobby. But we have the equipments (namely our ears) to identify them. Why not give it a try without prejudice? BTW, not everyone hears the same. and that could be the reason some of us believe and some don't.

So, lets continue with the original topic and let each of us have our own opinions :-)
