The guru on fuses:
Generally, those that do blind testing do not trust themselves and already think there is no difference. Would you like a shovel to dig yourself out of that hole? I am under no delusions that I have magical powers that protect me from all bias, however the many audiophile friends I have are not protected either and it is their claims I disproved not mine. The unwillingness to subject oneself to blind testing shows you lack the confidence you profess to have. |
You have a few 10s of people who constantly go to forums like this one and let everyone know that 'whatever" is snake oil. These people are on a crusade to rid the world of snake oil. What is really interesting is that 10s of thousands of audiophiles all over the world do not believe the rantings of these "snake oil killers". Almost all of these people do not comment on these forums....they are busy listening to the incredible sound of their stereo (at least 40% of them with snake oiled systems). This very day there are people buying fuses and I bet 90% of these people find them beneficial to the sound...... So, on one hand we have 10s of thousands of audiophiles who hear a beneficial sonic improvement with fuses and growing every day......and on the other hand we have 100 ranting "snake oil killers" who go on to every forum in the world........who mostly have never even tried an audiophile fuse.. Who would you trust? A ton of people who listened and had a direct experience or a few people who mostly won't listen and rant? |
So, on one hand we have 10s of thousands of audiophiles who hear a beneficial sonic improvement with fusesThat btw is well over the top, and they definitely aren't audiophiles. Just show one of these $$$ "boutique fuse manufacture" posts or advert, where they confirm for what these 10s K delusional "fusers" believe, especially the directional claims for ac fuses???? |
Did you not read? As I said, I did participate in some blind tests....and EVERYONE at the tests passed the test.....We all heard the same differences.....no one thought it sounded the same. I don’t need blind tests to tell differences....if you think you do, than that is fine. 99% of all audiophile audio tests are not blind.....magazines, individuals, etc. Jay does some blind tests for people on his thread on this forum.....most people hear the same differences....however his latest post has people preferring neither (split decision). However, practically none of the people who do his tests hear no difference. Jay is afraid of fuses....but if he was not then he would do blind tests with fuses and you could hear for yourself the difference (sorry, I mean that they all sound the same....he he) https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/my-long-list-of-amplifiers-and-my-personal-review-of-each?pag... |
And again we have millions who claim that vinyl is more realistic than good digital when the truth could not be farther away. Anyone who has heard live what is coming off the microphones knows that tape and vinyl is a softened and colored version of reality. There are many many thing millions or billions believe that is simply not true. It speaks volumes that so called audiophiles don't trust their hearing enough to do a blind test. |
