Geoffkait 11-18-2017IMO the explanations that have been cited for the sonic benefits of SR and certain other boutique fuses have either involved measured differences that are much too small to account for the reported improvements (as I have explained in detail in numerous posts in various fuse-related threads here), or amount to **descriptions** of the physical characteristics of the fuse, or how it has been manufactured. A description is not an explanation.
Sorry, no offense, Mitch, but you must have been snoozing since the way these aftermarket fuses work has been explained to death, including the various SR fuses. OK, you can go back to sleep, now.
An explanation would make clear how the current being conducted by a fuse would be affected in such a manner and to such a degree that it would consistently improve the sonics of components that are completely different in design, that perform completely different functions, that are used in completely different systems, that can have either unregulated or well regulated internal power supplies, that are powered by AC having very different voltage and noise characteristics, that involve both AC and DC circuit applications, and that involve currents that do and do not vary with the dynamics of the music.
I would expect that such an explanation could be provided without divulging company sensitive information. As noted above many designers are more than happy to provide comparable information. And in this case a meaningful explanation would, hopefully, satisfy many of the so-called "skeptics," and perhaps even result in a significant number of additional customers. Although I recognize the possibility that depending on the explanation the result could be the opposite.
