Synergistic Red Fuse ...
So, anyone who is not on board the SR train is a downer? A bold move. It sounds like you’re saying we need a little more enthusiasm. 😛 Meanwhile, I’ll look into setting up a Damage Assessment and Spin Control Office. 😀 
Cable Survey
mmrkaic@geoffkait Several points here.1. I stated my credentials simply to elucidate why I reject the pseudo scientific narratives about "the sound of cables". There was not argument from you or anyone else that needed to be refuted on its merits....

Whoa! Another excellent example of Appeal to Authority. Once I read, "I have 40+ Years in the business" all the errors in the screed suddenly made sense. For example, just one of many errors, high end cable manufacturers don’t get their wire from ... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
jetterAnd lets not forget the little blind naysayer people following the little blind nonbeliever sheep. Geeze, and now there are little minds, little statesmen, and the philosophers and divines are, I’m guessing, kind of little too. None so blind...

A wind up watch and clock have their own power supplies. Are they active devices?

The batteries in my Clever Little Clock (which is built on a Casio travel clock) last at least five years with standard Duracell batteries, maybe ten with Quantum batteries. Batteries are longer lasting across the board than they used to be. I’m p...

Finally, the answer on fuse directionality from Synergistic! Rejoice, ye refuseniks!from Synergistic web page for the new Blue fuse, Frequently asked questions.Q: Are fuses directional?A: Yes, fuses are directional. Electricity should flow from t...

At least Mr. Bybee was not being deceitful. He would have no reason to. You claim the battery will only last one year. How do you know? I thought the device just came out.

Actually, slate or marble or granite, assuming it’s not too thin, provides significant isolation against rotational forces attempting to bend the plate or slab, by virtue of its mass and stiffness. I am a big fan of bluestone, the gray blue stone ...

Exhibit A - Mr. Bybee has no motive to deceive or mislead or any such thing. I heard through the grapevine he gave his significant other a brand new Bentley a few years ago. Capish?

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines." - old audiophile axiom 😀 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Wolfie, if you're going to carry on you could at least get your facts straight. SR doesn't fill their fuses with anything. Nice try, though, slugger.

Geoffkait: Whoa! Appeal to Authority Alert! Big time! 🤔To which mmrkaic replied,"My dear friend, there is no appeal to authority here, just an explanation why I don’t fall for pseudo-scientific BS that is peddled by many in the audio community.Inc...

Actually, to be fair, the performance does not (rpt not) degrade over time. At least over the lifetime of the battery, which is ten years. Not too many things in this hobby last ten years. Or in life. Don’t be a big baby! 👶

I think you might be misunderstanding what I wrote a little bit. I’m saying that Mr. Bybee like me doesn’t consider that a battery powered device is necessarily an "active" device. So battery powered and active are not necessary synonymous. I desc...
