PROTOTYPE FUSES - NEW THREAD

Double yawn. Lay intuition. None of the great things humans have done were done by mystics. They were done by educated people using science the correct way.

If you are going to believe that fuses make a difference regardless of anything you are told to the contrary then your believe means nothing.

Fuses are an intentional bottleneck. If the unit draws more current than it was designed to, the fuse blows. If the unit is running within parameters, OPERATING NORMALLY, then the fuse dose not blow. Until the fuse blows it does not change or modify anything, nothing, nada, zilch, zero.

Anyone who thinks unblown fuses modify the sonic performance of an audio device has limited self awareness or rather does not understand how their CNS can modify data so as to improve their performance in the jungle. This is not an insult. It is true of all of us which is why we have to be so careful with assessments like this. These comparisons have to be set up to avoid unintentional bias. There are no exceptions to this. Nobody is above their own physiology. Thinking you are is sort of arrogant. It also makes any advice you offer suspect.

Some members are not worth debating with. 
Ignoring does wonders for sanity.

I went from SR Black to Orange in my amp and Dac.

My thoughts at the time:
"Base stronger - seems to hang in the air.
Instrument separation more discernible.
Again, hearing things in tracks I'd never heard before.
Overall, a huge A+ in my view"

If Oregonpaps is right, I may have to upgrade.

@jerrybj,
I hear you.
I wasn't really trying to debate, more trying to figure out what the point of the posts were.
Now I know.

I am paying pretty close attention to @oregonpapa 's posts, as I, too am curious as to what's going to drop.

I am here simply because I am interested in another audiophile's opinion on them, and am curious to see what he has to say about them.

So far, unless the prototype fuses are WAY outside of my price range (enough to move up from the Orange SR's), I may have to upgrade, too. After all, I suspect they will come with a money back guarantee. 

Guess we'll see.

Lay intuition. None of the great things humans have done were done by mystics. They were done by educated people using science the correct way.

Right. You reserve the practice of "lay intuition" exclusively for yourself. To your credit, you’re consistent in assessing the sound of equipment by solely looking at pictures and reading white papers.

Until the fuse blows it does not change or modify anything, nothing, nada, zilch, zero.

I’d ask you to share your data but - as you’ve demonstrated before - your "proof" always goes "poof." It’s really fine that you put faith in your intuition, but it’s a bit disingenuous of you to deny others the same.

I did mean to say SUBJECTIVE listening impressions are not scientific in that they can can be influenced by placebo effect. Maybe it’s more accurate to say they are not CONCLUSIVE proof of anything.

Observation IS conclusive proof. We know the sun shines because we see it. We did not doubt that the sun was shining for millennia until we managed to measure its energy, we knew it shone all the way back from our Stone Age days.

When multiple unrelated people make the same observation it is considered conclusive truth and on that alone a number of people have been sent to the electric chair.

So far no one has been able to describe to me exactly how a fuse affects the audio signal. The audio signal does not pass through the fuse

Really? So you’re the world’s smartest genius that would understand why everything would work? Really? You don’t know how a microprocessor works - yet your iPad works just fine right? You have no problems using that no?

It’s 40 bucks to test. You don’t have to understand how it works to get benefit.
