I did not find Georgie to be so demeaning. I agree with him, and have already done what he suggested, more tahn once over the years. For other skeptics, google, The Skeptic magazine's article, Audiophoolery. One of my favorite heretical statements in it concerns burn in time: Why do salespeople recommend three months for a componentsto burn in? 90 days is how long your credit card company gives you to get a refund for a scam. I only ask because Paul of PS Audio said he heard a difference. My other issue is that I do not have immense surges of power, because the Apollo Moon Mission rocket scientist who designed, manufactured, and service my electronics uses a NASA computer chip to regulate the four 26,000 mf NASA caps per channel as they fill. This might preclude the necessity of better power cords or fuses. The amps will play at medium volumes for a minute or more, after the NASA breakers are turned off. There does not seem to be a needed for a rush of power for immense surges. Anyone???
FUSES, Finally!?
I have been adamant about avoiding special fuses, because of the lack of empirical studies. Here is my question: What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start. I use three dual mono Audire amps (for Woofs, Mids and Tweets, and Subs, each of the six channel having four fuses. I would not not want to spend thousands, even if I could, just to experiment. My heat sinks do unplug, along with the outputs, and I could try just one channel or one amp. Paul of PS mentioned what they use, and that might eventually be a possibility, but what do you guys (and gals?) think I should do, to just to convince this ageing skeptic? Also, each channel of my amps has one single, dedicated computer chip that regulates the filling of the 4 26,000 mf caps (per channel), which might make any difference less than a design that allows a flood of electrons into the tank, presuming that might matter.
