@hifiman5 Don't worry I do not want to fight that battle. However, even though we do not need explanations on how these fuses do their magic to appreciate the effect they have on sound, I do believe it would be interesting to know more about how this is achieved. Not only because as an engineer I'm curious about those things but it would surely help in this debate if we could rule out the esoteric aspect of it and discuss over the technical merits. I know a few folks would still have something to say but my bet is that most people reading these threads would like to understand better how it works. Also, although it seems accepted that the blue fuses are better than the blacks, I still don't understand why a single fuse (there are still 3 other black fuses in the system) is having such an impact on the overall sound when 4 black fuses were not providing the same level of improvement. Again, that does not prevent me from sitting down and appreciating the music as recommended by @jpspock which is obviously the most important part but I can't help but looking at this hobby from the electronic perspective too ;-). The fact all of this nice music is coming from electricity, transistors, tubes and chips is amazing.
@oregonpapa Thank you Frank for sharing your impressions on fuses, music and other tuning devices. I personally appreciate (and I'm sure I'm not the only one here) you are spending your precious time to the benefit of the audiophile community. Regarding Herbie's tube dampeners, they are already on my list. Thanks again!
