Default Re: Audiophoolery?

A fuse is just an ordinary piece of tinned copper wire. Why should it benefit from beeswax and not every other conductor?

Making and selling non-BS1363-compliant plug fuses could be taking on a lot of liability.

The thing is it's so easy to fake these advances. The first of April is close, so how about a suggestion that amplifiers, speakers, turntables etc made in imperial dimensions sound better than those made in metric dimensions? It would have to be padded out with florid prose and tales of exalted listening tests then an attempt to flog imperial-sized CDs at exorbitant prices with the promise that an imperial CD player would follow. It was no coincidence that we played 12" records on 12" platters with 9" arms and cartridges on 1/2" hole centres through 12", 4" and 1" speakers.
