" inductive quantum coupling" Well I'd say 'great to see you're still a bit of a wag' Paul

Tried a few Belt tips Couldn't hear any differences - which made me reluctant about the tweaks to come
Probably tested on Fons CQ30, Rotel Integrated and Leak 2075 speakers

The one bouns Adrian of being able to model everything is I use a high BW TDR scope I can acutally 'see' any changes in the impendance pathway on any portion of the set up, can de embed each piece of the tramsmission line (cabling, inductors, resistors, caps, conectors) so any changes are measureable I can see them. After this you can deiced to poceed with listening, each one of those types of thse types of cabling will sound different, how much, by what sonic traits they exhibit and any changes in amplitute well thats personal element, each one of those designs and construction of wire can easily be measured both statically (LRC) and dynamically VNA via S11 / S12 etc. Each will have an impednace and inductance figure of merit also what these wire are connected to have a large bearing on how they will sound as well how we percieve the sonic differences well thats down to each of us. Have a chat to SEAN @ IES (renaissence amps) you know him, he can explain to you this in great detail as they also make cable tesing equipment for RF. Beltism is gunna get you! Hi Tony, I just found Paul's(Slingers) comment quite amusing, if not somewhat provocative as I know there are a few that have invested in hi-end fuses. That is not to say I would discount that they may make a difference. I personally do recognise and do hear differences in cables whether interconnects, speaker cables, digital or ethernet. I have also noticed that although one cable may be good in one system, be it expensive or not, it may not get the same result in another. A friend and I, who are both into Hifi or shall we say audio for musical enjoyment, have on several occasions swapped cables around between us and found what works well in one just doesn't in the others or at least not to the same extent. We have also found that it is not necessarily top end cable(cost wise) that gives the best results, depending upon the implementation. I think the problem is, if we are talking about cables, that as you point out understanding what a cable will bring to a system, enabling a better end resolution, is not straight forward, and the impedance and inductance, as you infer, is quite critical between equipment. I have also come to the conclusion that getting rid of noise, RF is one instance, is of major importance. Sean @ IES is a great chap, in fact you reminded me to give him a call for a chat. Sean did talk with me some time ago about their cable side of the business, which was very interesting. I used to own a pair of RA01 power amps, great sound IMO, but moved on from the for several reasons, not necessarily the right ones in hindsight.

That's an almost verbatim quote from the Synergistic Research website, Martin. It's really badly worded, implying that everything along the line benefits from the fuse. No, the component it's used with benefits from the fuse. Apologies for thinking you wrote it.

With fuses, the only way to know is to try one. They make little sense (although quite a lot more sense than freezing two time gapped photos together) but there is no going back to normal fuses afterwards.
Strictly for already well sorted systems!

It frustrates me that fuses do make a difference

Firstly, let me apologise for seemingly derailing this thread. My only point in mentioning fuses was to draw a parrallel between some of the old bollocks that Peter Belt spouted, and some of the old bollocks that's used to sell fuses. Point in case, the quote I copied from the SR site that Martin thought I'd made up for a laugh. I believe there's a thread for all thngs fuse-y so let's get back to belting Peter on this one before I get skinned alive by the OP.

It does highlight that SR obfuscate what they really know behind marketing bollox.
OK, enough about fuses. I don't think PB ever sold them?
