I usually subscribe to it for one or two months a year to get ESPN...College Bowl Season just about every year. Sometimes for Baseball playoffs if the Braves are in it (TBS usually carries the playoffs). The rest of the year, I don't need it.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -

Well, that's not really an apples/apples comparison. That's a good deal for you though. I could stomach cable service for $50, but most are paying through the nose for that garbage. I have a coworker spending more than $300 for Comcast service (includes internet and home phone). 200+ channels of mostly garbage reality TV, relentless biased news, and re-runs. Sports (or ignorance) is what keeps most subscribing. I keep telling him to drop Comcast and stream, but he's stubborn and doesn't like changes. In his words, he really likes how his TV shows the caller ID of people that call his home phone. I was like, "who actually calls your home phone?" He says, mostly doctors, telemarketers, and scammers. My point exactly.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore... -

'Problem with Toilets' Forces American Airlines Plane To Turn Around, Land At Original Airport After 9 Hours
https://www.ibtimes.com/american-airlines-flight-toilet-malunction-3744514
An American Airlines flight from Dallas, Texas to Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea turned around 5 hours into its journey, returning all passengers from the airport it initially took off from. Passengers were provided with no explanation about why their journey was altered when the incident occurred on Sept. 7.
.......... airline staff explained the incident as having been caused by an issue with the toilets. The pilot also reportedly asked if any passengers were carrying a screwdriver which could have helped fix the issue.

RIGHT ! TSA will not even allow fingernail clippers..... MAYBE , the airlines should stock a small tool bag in the cockpit.

We were flying back to Boston from somewhere down south (perhaps Charlotte) with the kids once (quite a few years ago, now). There was a loose plastic ceiling panel on the plane. We sat at the gate for quite a while, waiting for repairs. Eventually a couple of guys got on the plane, looked at the sagging panel and duct taped the seam to hold it to the adjacent trim panel.
The whole economy section broke into applause.
We then just sat there for a while longer. Eventually, a sheepish flight attendant announced that the duct tape fix was deemed inadequate, and we were taken off the plane. We had to hang around the terminal for another good chunk of time until they scrounged up another aircraft for us.

Eh, they may not be for everyone but they aren't doing it wrong. Insanely priced? You bet. But QSA is no joke and the results are outstanding. FWIW.

Not really. They use the same technology they use in their PC's and fuses. I use one of their fuses and the results were stunning in the PS of the MF KW-750.
I took one full week of burning in but after that? I was very impressed at the changes it brought to the table.
On this one, I would reserve commenting about them until you actually use them or hear them in a rig, before and after installation and burn in.

Tom, there is absolutely nothing they could do to that receptacle that warrants the price. To even suggest I need to, "actually use them or hear them in a rig, before and after installation and burn in" is beyond ludicrous.Political Correctness'.........defined

$711.00 for fuse!?!
They state, "All are designed to eliminate the distortions created by a typical fuse."

I paid something like $125.00 for a Synergistic Research Blue fuse once. Thought I was crazy for doing so, but I did it anyway. The result, no difference...none, nada. Total waste of money.

I hear about or have read about observations from SR fuses being the same thing as yours. No difference. The QSA fuse in my rig was not the same at all. As for the fuse creating distortions? Eh, I don't know about all that. What I do know is that the standard fuse that was in the KW was absolutely bottle neck for the system, when going from that to the QSA Red and Black. The change was not subtle at all. I would have never known, had I not tried it.
No, I did not pay retail for it....or anywhere near retail. But I will say this. It was worth every penny. I would have never tried it, if it weren't for a local audio friend that had a spare (He upgraded to the Silver fuse) and allowed me to use it in my system. I didn't like it at first because the bass was WAY too bloated and sounds were all over the place but after the week went by in the system? It gelled with the rig quite well and the sounds were very nice. Extremely musical. Especially the instruments.
It also makes the responses to a PC upgrade vastly more noticeable as well. I just wish the prices were more reasonable. If I had to pay retail, I wouldn't know what I know now.

No worries. I was just reporting my findings/observations. There is a new product that is hitting systems and the reports coming in are very favorable. One that I will try out after some other plans come into fruition for the rig. That being a SDFB (Swiss Digital Fuse Box). These are much more reasonably priced and they lose the fuse altogether. FWIW.

This question is going to sound snarkier than it actually is (and for which I apologize):
For any of these audiophile fuses, do the manufacturers provide any information on how well they work as fuses? Are they slo-blo or regular? Do they pop at 150% of rated current? 200%?
IF they're being used as mains fuses -- I'd be kind of curious about that.
One's insurance company might, too.
OK that last sentence was snarky-with-intent.
But, in all seriousness, are these products (be they $125 or $700 fuses) good fuses?

As far as the SR fuses are concerned they are standard fuses that supposedly have been zapped with a million volts or so from a Tesla coil and a small dot of supposedly graphene placed on the paper label, which looks to me like black paint.Political Correctness'.........defined
