OK, one with a blown fuse will reduce the noise significantly.
But no-one is doing anything about it because the aural effects of audiophoolery gear are largely subjective. 'We' know that most of this stuff is Tommyrot, but rarely can we prove it beyond all reasonable doubt. And I suppose that's why they continue to get away with it.
