Yeah, if you get too close to the thermal limits for a speaker line fuse, you might see some effects. Of course, in sensible designs, the fuse is contained within the feedback loop so even those small effects get knocked down. Someone wrote about that in Stereophile about 35 years ago, a very smart, sensible, and handsome young man with the initials "SY."

Isn't that where one gentleman said : but my amplifier has zero negative feedback ?
Disappointed, fuses in speaker lines when we are talking about mains fuses, moving goalposts....
As to 6 moons, 6 times the Luna cy
Disappointed : you are the one moving the goal post show where i specified PSU WITH THE WORD FUSE ...
Well since the discussion started out from links referencing these magical fuses for the mains I thought it would be logical to presume that's what we were discussing. I ' l l t y p e s l o w e r I n f u t u r e s o c a n k e e p u p .

Money is good Dutchie , as long as you contribute willingly ...
I should have have made it clearer in that post - I'm referring to the research into what matters, and doesn't matter in audio as regards listener sensitivity - the "get a bunch of people in a room, hit 'em with a mess of sounds, which ones do you like, or don't like" - that sort of thing.Frank, do you design your own amplifiers/electronics? Do you know how it works? If the answer is no, then you can't have any basis for calling the science sloppy!!
The designing of electronics is fine, but the people who do it need to know what is truly significant, and what is of lesser importance ...
Apart from the nastiness, there is quite a bit of the context of the 'problem' stated here - those who can't hear the differences, or are not interested in discovering whether they're audible, defend their postion by pulling out the "can't show any objective proof" card every time - they know this is almost guaranteed to be a putaway, but if the person is brave enough to dig out some investigation into the behaviour then the latter will be savagely attacked, every possible flaw in the work will be highlighted - while ignoring the fact that research that backs their, objective, POV was sloppy ...My opinion about why people fall for snake oil is simply that they have never bothered to learn electronic theory/practice, aren't all that bright to begin with, yet want to somehow have some sort of control over their audio products and not feel left out of the chain.
...
If they wish to do so and waste money on foolish products that is their right but when they try to defend their purchases/tweaks and can't show any objective proof that the sound was changed,but keep harping on and on how it was and that those that can't the difference must have defective hearing, then they need to shut up.

How long is a wire?
Went to a pro supplier for a canare 75ohm s/pdif cable , figured the shortest necessary length would be best. The "cable guy" was pretty insistent I should have him make it as a 1.5metre length.
Because everyone (except me) knows this will sound better than any other length. Better than 50 cm. better than 100 cm. better than 152 cm.
When I asked why he asserted this is so , he just said it is what it is.
I took this as his way of saying I was too dumb to spend money in his store, and left.
Anyone else have an idea what this fellow was on about? Or on?
