I fail to see how there is a conflict between what I wrote above, to the effect that audiophilia and logic are sometimes not good partners, and the bit about Ralph's idea on fuses. In any case, I followed up that subject with Ralph, privately. He and I are long time related as customer and manufacturer, so long that we have become friends. I own a now very old MP1 preamp and a pair of his large OTL amplifiers, to drive a big ESL. I would never be so presumptuous as to say that those who hear elaborate improvements in SQ, due to exotic fuses, are "wrong", and I didn't say that here. I guess my private doubts come across in my tone. You could call me an agnostic or a hypocrite, but I do use Acme fuses in the output stage of my circlotron amplifiers, where fuses are in series with the signal. I also installed Acme fuseholders to go with. Acme seems to offer "audiophile" fuses and fuseholders at a reasonable cost. One of my pet comments here and elsewhere, which you can also dig up, is to wonder aloud why one would install a very expensive fuse in a typically poor quality fuseholder. Acme at least takes a shot at making a good fuseholder. I wonder whether Oyaide or Furutech make such a product, now I think of it.
I think any of us could go over our systems and find things we do religiously that make no logical sense or that are supported by very faulty logic. It's OK. We're human.
