RE: Hah, you're on!

In my original post I tried to explain how, when swapping the fuses back and forth, I ended up choosing one way over the other based on admittedly somewhat vague impressions. It's the case with any changes that I test. The proof comes in living with the sound for several days or more. Your impression is a far broader one and your more likely to identify the character of sound through the difference in mood, electricity, air pressure and so on.

After installing the first fuse the system was still going through burn-in changes of other tweaks I'd done on the power side, but there came a point where I was really happy. A couple weeks later the fuse blew and I put in another. I gave it time to burn in but, for two weeks or more, I was frustrated by certain aspects. I did the second test and, within several hours of settling on one direction, I was mucho happy, and still am mucho happy 2 weeks down the line.

And indeed it was 'almost unlistenable' because of the constant awareness that, not too long before, I had a sound that gave me much more pleasure and far fewer things to fault. Indeed, a case of audio nervosa it was...

I've just repeated what I'd written in the first post, haven't I? Oh well, guess it can't do any harm to try once again to convey that I, and others who have observed the phenomenon, are not batshit crazy. I've just added somewhere else in the thread that there has to be some crazy voodoo going on here, or at least some aspect of the science of electricity that humans have yet to touch on. All I know is that what I'm hearing is real and whether others choose to argue that point is, well, the reason why I get to repeat myself, hooray!
