Fuses do affect sound, the question is how much

[NorthSky]

Then don't waste your time Dennis, spend it with music listening to some of the best music recordings in the audio music history.

Let the audio scientists and audiophiles play with fuse rolling, let the pros do real experiments and share their results. If their scientific methods and results aren't your cup of tea, try to best it yourself.

 

[NorthSky]

I highly respect your scientific openness. No short fuse here.

Theory experimentation, hypothetical physics, practical suggestion, scientific test, audio fuse rolling, blind test comparison, technical measurements ...

* Take two brand new same integrated amps and replace the fuses in one of them by audiophile certified premium fuses. Burn the two amps equally @ the same level with the same music (Tidal source) for the same time...100, 200 and 300 hours. @ each 100 hours interval perform a blind test. And take measurements of both integrated amps for each 100-hour period, for good measure.

The above is a suggestion for amateur audio scientists who love exploring, experimenting, discovering, who are passionate about audio challenges.

Now if you would excuse me it's time for my peanut butter/jelly/banana sandwich.

Lack of motivation, no interest in scientific audio exploration, lack of financial resources?

I thought you were going to do the comparisons. Is the above sentence for your consideration?

So much to add but it's 1am and I've still got whiskey left to drink.
I shall return with maths, measurements & regulations.

We'll be right here, we're not going anywhere but up.

I am not a scientist, nor an artist.

Did not expect this thread! I didn't think I would be the one telling ASR that I don't think some audio part doesn't make a difference!

Threads attempting to start a "discussion" on fuses,cable elevators, cryogenically treated AC receptacles, pvc vs teflon vs whatever wire insulation, really only need a

LOL

as a response instead for walls of text.

It saves reading time, typing time and and discourages further attempts to "bait the readership"

So...
about them fuses.... LOL

Wooah there partner, as the OP for this thread, its about the science of the fuse, and on this site we have had scientific evidence presented. That's what we do here! Are you old enough to remember audio engineers saying a capacitor could not affect the sound of a signal audibly? Many engineers did say just that and its not true. If you read my first post starting this thread, you will find that I was not saying a fuse could be heard, but that most definitely it is capable of causing distortion, and so that's what we are discussing here. Science, its what we do here, and that's with facts, and that's what makes this the best darned audio site on the planet! You're talking about my baby here......

I would like to see the valid evidence supporting capacitors affecting sound. I have only seen credible published studies that do not support that view. A new thread might be best for that tired topic.

I am always open to new information.

I also checked over to my neighbor in Vancouver, Archimago's Musings, but he's not there yet in evaluating, analysing, measuring, listening to audiophile fuses in comparison to the stock ones.

You really don't get what valid supporting evidence is. Putting-up others untestable opinions that align with yours is not good enough.

I don't know why people are fighting in the world.

That whole 'tiny desk concert' clip is just fake IMO. One mic. Sounds/instruments out of sync. She opens her mouth to 'sing' and then holds it open for a bit. Speaking voice and playing voice different acoustics. Clapping 'audience' doesn't have the acoustics of the room. Cello plays when the player is not. Backing vocal two guys are panned left and right too far.
