Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?

They are also not complicated devices and as difficult to understand as some vendors make them. Its reasonable to expect that some portion of the discussion about them is just noise but hey only one way to find out if one actually cares. Personally, I’d focus on making sure my fuse is good quality and in good working order and look pretty much anywhere else (except Machina Dynamica for example) for things that will make clear significant differences in sound quality.

>>>>>I’m giving serious consideration to promoting you to associate shill as you demonstrate that very special skill I’m looking for - pretending to loathe and mock Machina Dynamica yet giving it a shout out at every opportunity. But not too much, otherwise folks will catch onto the scam. 😛 Keep up the good work.

Vendors don’t make fuses difficult to understand. You do, grasshopper. Look within.

Thank god for almarg!  A voice  of reason in the wilderness of insanity on this thread.

”Does all of that sound at least somewhat implausible, even though Ralph’s claims are based on actual experiments? It would not be unreasonable to think so, IMO. However, I feel safe in saying that to most of those having an extensive background in electronic design (such as myself) the notion that a fuse would have **inherent** directional characteristics to an audibly significant degree is substantially MORE implausible.”

>>>>>I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it appears that having a background in electronic design like Ralph and Al actually does not allow them to make informed judgements regarding fuse directionality. You know, in light of the fact that they ARE directional. It appears they are in denial. Oh, well. Whereas my background in physics and materials science does allow ME to make such judgments. We’ve already debunked the infamous fuse holder pseudo argument, gents. Let’s move this thing along, shall we?

I just don't like liars. And that's pretty much what I see here. How real something sounds isn't a question of opinion. It's a matter of measurable fact. How closely does the reproduced wave form resemble the original? Putting footers under your pre-amp or fancy fuses in it doesn't change that. It only changes what you think you hear. That's not scientific. That's psychiatric. If all that matters is what you think you hear in your head, why not try a Sanyo clock radio and a pile of mushrooms? It's much cheaper than HiFi and you're in a much better position to will your mind into hearing anything you want. 
Faith based tweaks like fuses and magic rocks only work when the listener has unwavering faith in them. Most of us are too skeptical to buy any old lie told to us. Some not only buy the lie, they run with it and expand on it regardless of the truth to the contrary. It reminds me of watching the 9/11 conspiracy theorists evolve their story. This is like debating flat earthers. I'm wondering how many of you have magnets on your fuel lines to polarize the gas molecules. 

Now please continue with your regularly scheduled ranting.
