RE: Interesting

The study I'm referring to is I think available on Hifi Tuning's website. If it's not, it's easily found as I chanced on it while looking up Silver Star fuses, which I ended up buying.

I'm not writing a paper on fuses here, I mentionned it trying to be unbiased about the subject. The study did mention a slight difference in measurement depending on polarity but I don't remember what these measurements where.

I totally accept the existence this difference. I'm saying there's absolutely no way one can hear it. And I'll say it until proven wrong by proper demonstration.

As you say, I might not be able to hear the change a fuse produces. I'm totally fine with that and I accept the possibility. That's why I've asked other to try. But not to try the way they like. Only within the confine of a blind test.

All I can say about my hearing is that when I added Rollerblocks2+ under my cd player last week, I heard a very significant and positive difference. I'm suspecting if I can hear little balls under a component I would hear a fuse. Maybe I'm wrong.

So once more, I'll ask the question: did you validate your conclusions with a proper blind test? Within the context of this blind test, could you reliably identify an audiophile fuse? Could you reliably identify its polarity?

As far as I'm concerned, audiophile fuses are up there with voodoo-ish solutions, only topped by Acoustic Systems resonators, which are celebrated all over the net by reviewers.

None of them having done a blind test, at least not one they mention.
