We do have some remarkably stupid and gullible people posting here, but a a and Gnatguy seem to be American while Skybuck Flying is Dutch.

Even they wouldn't be interested in an over-priced UK mains fuse.

Maybe you should take your spam someplace else?

In 'merrica it was a plot to sell cocaine expensive audio crap shops were part of that.

No real audio guy would fall for this one, but the tube can hold just that much. So, :-)

Did you really think that the OP did seriously advocate that product ?

It is nice to read what kind of exotic products some "high-end" vendors may invent :-).

To "high-end" enthusiasts: visit a philharmonic orchestra concert and select a good seat, so you know how the orchestra should sound.

Cursitor Doom is remarkably silly. My guess is that he's aware that is a bogus product aimed at the audiophool market, but he's still advertising it, no matter how tongue -in-cheek the ad might be.

That's not any kind of high-end product. It's just a device to part an audiophool from it's money.

Audiophoollery isn't about listening to music. It's about owning and exhibiting fatuously expensive and ostensibly impressive high end audio products.

And I have heard an ion-phone speaker. One of our friends in Cambridge owned a pair and quite liked them, but the music would have sounded just the same on a less exotic device.

No, that's so the power-mad audiophile can hook up his 3.8kW amp to it. ;-)

Here's another innovative product in a similar vein...

"Please note: fuses are directional, so please ensure you install your fuse accordingly. If you are not sure on the correct direction, simply try it both ways- you will be able to hear the difference."

So make sure you fit it the correct way round! ;-)

Fast blow ensures they will be replaced often. Inner microgranularity and soundstage distance imaging suffer if the fuses are too old.

Just to add to the fun, fuses in series with a speaker DO generate odd harmonic distortion when operated close to their rated current, especially at very low frequencies. Whether this is actually audible is another matter, but it is certainly measurable and is much greater than the distortion from any reasonably good amplifier. See reply no. 3 in this discussion:

Any music that you buy has been through many levels of DSP, according to how somebody thinks it should sound.

Ah, "bottle-neck distortion" rears its ugly head. In order to conquor that, you need a better fuse! And here it is:

A bit expensive at $4,500 admittedly, but I'm sure it's worth every penny!

Wow! 12 month warranty. If it blows, do they replace it for free?

I'd love to see someone do an AB comparison test! LOL

Yeah, like the ton vs. tonne thing I suppose. They are probably working with metric electrons.

I wonder if they get their power from the Quantum Science generating station with the proper orientation of all equipment involved. Does the grid identify the polarity of their transformers? What if the three phase is rotating in the other direction? Oh, the humanity!

Only if you select a Quantum Science seat!

You mean they sell these to themselves? How would you transfer the "dirty" money to the company selling the crap? Usually, they only take credit cards. That's a sure way of tying yourself to the dirty money, by paying a credit card bill with it. I don't know about these companies. Do they take wire transfers? Bit coin?

send the money to shills and have them order the things.
