HFT Silver/Gold Fuses

[Resident Loser]

If RL could reproduce music with a rope and pulley he would, since there have been exactly zero improvemnts to the art in the last 75 years.

Ignorance is indeed the highest form of bliss.

...you wanna' start with me?


If you have any more clever remarks, I'd suggest you present them in the Steel Cage...I don't do PMs...

...I try to support your position and you give me a swift kick in the nuts?

What part of transcription disks and audio tape recorders was inflammatory? Was it the vacuum tubes that clinched it? Not PC enough? Truth too inconvenient?

Geoff, you got some set...

jimHJJ(...nice even playing field ya' got here pal...)

I really don't want any help with that.

If You and Herman want to go-at-it then take it to the Steel Cage.

And again I ask: What part of transcription disks and audio tape recorders was inflammatory? Was it the vacuum tubes that clinched it?

His inference stands, while my response is edited?

I'm tryin not to be an unfair guy but I have my limits.

So; I don't mind if you take someone to task for something they claims without support, and I don't take offence if you call someone out for a personal slander as long as you do it without swearing. But there's a point when you put the two together when it becomes too much. Re: Hermanv

Honestly I was really hoping that this thread would have died by now, but there's no way I'm going to let it continue as a bash-fest between you and Herman.

...I'm not tryin' to be difficult, so please bear with me...what did I say, did I swear in my spare time? I always self censor with @s and $s and the odd asterisk...

And re: the part you left intact...I was the one who suggested the Steel-Cage Invitational to obviate such continued tom-foolery within this thread...What gives?

A disagreement doesn't mean "go at it". I don't call people names. I believe many have no idea whereof they speak. That is not a sin.

Look it up, ignorance means un-informed it says nothing about you or your mother other than that and no one is "going at anything".

Since I personaly have embraced the "witchcraft" of cables, and isolators and special stands etc, the sound from my system has improved. I don't sell anything, I am not affliated with any company that sells anything I only post my personal experience in the hopes that others might add additional enjoyment to their systems.

There are those on this forum who respond with knee jerk condemnation to anything new or different, RL is most certainly in that camp. He is so positive the new fuses of this thread can't work that he need not even bother to listen. I think it's kind of sad. Maybe they don't, or god forbid maybe they do, thereby challenging the entire belief structure.

Me, I don't care how RL enjoys his music, I only care that he advises poeple not to even bother listening becasue "there is no proof", obviously your own senses couldn't matter, seems like terrible advice to me.

A forum is a place to discuss things, people will disagree. If there were complete agreement there wouldn't be a forum.

I wonder why some people are so concerned about how someone else spends their money.

Getting back on the subject. How exactly do these work? Don't fuses work by having elements with a precise resistance which melt at a specific current? If the gold is used as end caps to prevent corrosion, I understand that (how do you justify the cost when many gold-plated connectors with more surface area, more gold, costs much less). But, if you're saying the gold is used as the element, I don't understand it. Gold would be a better conductor (less resistance), so the element would have to be much thinner, providing more resistance, to build up enough heat to open it at the same current. Having a more perfect conductor would be contrary to fuse design.
Also, where are these being used? How does placing a gold fuse in a power supply, pre-amp, etc... help? The signal is still subject to the weakest link in the chain. How does a gold fuse in even the output circuit provide superior sound when it passes any benefits made through non-gold output relay (there's an idea for another tweak, gold output relays), non-gold speaker wires, non-gold internal speaker cabling? Do they make a power supply more regulated, less noisy, have less losses? Have audiophiles with reference systems been wrong all these years? Do the fuses unveil another layer of detail, provide more "air", "clean up the grunge? I'm sure with these benefits, there's a patent to provide protection for the design, thus no reason to be secretive. Many companies explain their revolutionary designs so the consumer can make an informed decision. Saying "Unfortunately you are a Theorethiker and no listener." doesn't wash. It's used by every salesman dishing up "snake oil". I say "show your work if you want any credit" and "either put up, or shut up".

...just that every once in a while, it gets pretty deep around here...I just try to level things out...
