We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses

@nonoise 
I'm over here making changes to an amp I built myself. Then I come here and read people claiming a single fuse is making a bigger difference that changing the bias in my amp by .32 amp. That's a BIG change in an F5. That's a change that exapands the class A envelope by 25 watts and dramatically lowers the distortion. Do you see how it's really hard to believe a fuse can have an impact on par with that? That's stuff you can measure. 
I wish I had the gear to do it. When I do get the gear I'll gladly measure what fuses are doing. Are you understanding where I'm coming from with my skepticism? 

Kosst!

Your banging your head against a brick wall, they can’t see the forest through the trees, forget it, they've already lost all credibility, it’s just the way they, the "awesome foursome" roll.
Even if someone like Nelson Pass himself came here and told them personally what for, "not that he would lower himself" they still wouldn’t lay down and die!

Cheers George

Kosst,
I do see where you're coming from. Not having the necessary gear to help explain why you're hearing what you're hearing can be frustrating. 

What you can extract from your adjustments makes sense but so does changing the fuse, for me. I'm talking a lower noise floor, better punch and drive, increased extension, etc. But not being technically inclined, I just forego the measurements and simply reap my rewards (which is not always the case).🤔 It took three different brands of fuses before I got what I wanted out of them. Unless I win the lottery, I'm done with fuses.

To be honest, I don't know if what I describe can be measured but it certainly can be heard. Each attribute I described can be considered small, ion their own, but add all of them up and it can be a big improvement, insofar as it greatly increases the appreciation factor.

As for George, he's not the best person to have on your side. He tends to dog pile on after having someone else go first. He can hold you back.

All the best,
Nonoise

George and I have had our words. I'm glad to see he we can find agreement on some things while disagreeing on others. Too many hear just want to disagree with me because I'm me no matter what I say. 

For what some folks spend on a single fuse, I could convert my amp into a full dual mono back to the switch. I'd do that way before buying a fuse. 

kosst,
I hear you. I can't afford to buy any of the more expensive fuses either, but then, I can't convert any amp to full dual mono either. Seems like $30 was the right amount to spend for me.

All the best,
Nonoise
