IIRC the worst case measured distortion from a standard fuse that I've seen noted is 0.0033% for a fuse in the signal path at 20Hz. Every single one of his active components would appear to have higher distortion than that (not counting the CD player used as transport).Pretty good hearing for a 78 year old reviewer.
Here is is other gear.

Maybe they could sell a version that doesn't blow like mere mortal fuses when something goes wrong!For $595 if it blows, it better reconstitute itself starting at a quantum level so I don't have to buy another fuse.
At that point, you’d want to step up to the next level: The ChumpizatOr. Painstakingly designed and built from the ground up (pun intended!). Rest assured those electrons will flow through the Chump (for short) in style for a mere $2995! Do expect roughly 1000 hours before your electrons begin exiting the fuse with maximum self-assurance.
It is clear that these fuses are just an expensive toy for those who like to play with such toys.Imagine any capacitors, resistors, relays, transistors e.t.c. ..easily replaceable. What a golden niche market.
I’m pretty sure the fuse is made out of irony
Gotta admit, that fuse is an over-achiever.We can scoff all we like but I think this tells us everything.
If Amir did tables like this then we wouldn't have to read all the sciency stuff and we could spend more time trusting our ears.
Carry on.

I can't buy that... fit and finish is not up to par, in the bin.I think this tells us everything.

Poe's Law. It's so absolutely ridiculous we can't even mock it.yeah that was what I referred to earlier as being solid evidence the whole thing was a big joke! lol...I mean just look at that list of qualities! "Emotionally engaging?????" hahaha...it can't possibly be serious.
...but apparently it is serious!
Well, how not to envy people who know how to entertain themselves like that?
Yes, I know, without subtitles. I will try to explain.
This gentleman from the video runs a YouTube channel with mocking videos about audiophile wonderful inventions.
From 1:00:52 he read a review from High Fidelity about this "mystery invention". You sit now? If not, better sit
Quote from the review:
"The announcer announcing Frank Sinatra during his performance at The Sands Hotel was clearer in his body and more energetic."
xdddddd
I just think that making these stupid cables and even listening to some unthinkable fuses is much more interesting than endlessly discussing those who make stupid cables and listen to unthinkable fuses.
