We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses


LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;)  BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially. 

More seriously, two question survey:

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil 

2. Have you ever tried them?  Yes or No

In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along... 
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

All you had to say was you don't know what phenomenology is. You didn't need to prove it. 

A "body of evidence" is in no way developed by amplifying the number of people suffering the delusion. That's not a rational basis for believing anything. And what exactly is "empirical perception"? That's a concept so fundamentally flawed in premise it should be obvious. Because you think you perceived something it must be manifest in outside world? Where do I even begin with how wrong that assumption is?

I don't give a **** what you think or what I know, don't make out like someones saying something, when they're not. Even if your joking, because that's being dishonest.

What a ridiculous thing to say: thousands of people suffering some form of mass delusion. What's next? False flag scenarios? Pizzagate morphing into Audiogate?

A concept so fundamentally flawed that we do it all the time in our waking lives. 
Because you think you perceived something it must be manifest in outside world? 
Duh...yes. Or is it the shadow cast on the wall of the cave by the fire?

Please don't. You're giving me a headache.
Go back and forth with George. He's more your style.

All the best,

So, if I give you a good dose of LSD reality itself has now morphed into something else and the rest of humanity should be able to perceive that? The causal link between phenomenon in the universe and what you perceived them to be is very loose at best. There is no phenomenon in the universe know as blue. Blue is purely a construct of your perception based upon your biological reaction to electromagnetic radiation of a certain energy value. It’s highly debatable whether any two people experience that the same way. The color blind certainly don’t.

So tell me more about this "empirical perception", will you? Demonstrate to the crowd how brutally uninformed you are.
And, here, we, go. 
kosst thinks he's Merleau-Ponty, in the flesh, to dole it out with a pleb.
You've read up on phenomenology, empiricism, gestalt and association,
levels of perception and the like, and that is how you argue the efficacy of fuses?

You've a troubled mind dear kosst and when getting no where in an argument on fuses, you resort to this? Spare me your brilliance and expertise in a field apart from audio. Are you the kind of person when someone says "it's the truth", respond with something lame like, what is truth, really?

All the best,
