Fuses fuses fuses

I'm not one who frequents these forums often, but I do reflect my observations and results that work with my system. It seems the same parties are always contraversial and negative without being objective. Being trained as an engineer, I've always kept an open mind and made my evaluations after many attempts in order to come to decision.

I use the same procedures for evaluating equipment and tweaks in the 40+ years of being a music ethusiast. Concerning fuses, I tried at various occasions reversing the direction on all my equipment one at a time. I also reversed the order so I wouldn't be sucked into the placebo effect. As a result I did hear some differences when the fuses were reversed. I tried not to look at the position/ direction of the fuse but always came back to the same results even weeks later.

I also did the same tests with various fuses. I tried fuses from HiFi Tuning, Synergistic Red and Black and Audio Horizons on different occasions and directions. The Audio Horizons worked best for my system, but that's my opinion. What is interesting, the stock fuse worked best in my previously owned PS Audio P3 power condition.

So what I'm stating is be opened minded and evaluate for yourself. Every system is different and so are our ears. Just enjoy the music............

Geoff,

Don't waste your time or energy on these irrational people. It's typical of this generation to think they're right whether they tried things out for themselves or not. It's like my son-in-law who thinks everything he reads on the internet is gospel. I just sit back and watch him make a fool of himself. As the old saying goes 'experience is the best teacher'.

Teo,

Excellent info and analysis. I just wish the naysayers just accept the fact that there is a difference. Who really cares the reason? I tried different fuses and configurations and picked the best that worked for me. Just sit back and enjoy the music stop the analysis paralysis!
