Please explain with other than anecdotal information. This reads suspiciously like advocating high-cost interconnects, line cords, and speaker wires....


**Now you're being silly. Measure a fuse sometime. The resistance
increases, as current increases. It acts as a non-linear resistor. The
ONLY place for a fuse is before filter capacitors in an amplifier. In
the DC lines, or the speaker lines, fuses introduce distortion and
should not be used. This is electronics 101.

For the record:

* People using fancy power leads are deluded. The best power leads are,
of course, old style captive ones. IEC connectors are convenient and
stupid. They allow consumers to be conned into changing power leads
needlessly.
* People using *LOW INDUCTANCE*, *LOW RESISTANCE* speaker cables may
not, necessarily, be deluded. Again: Electronics 101.

Here are a couple of examples why such speaker cables may be useful:

Never throw the baby out with the bathwater. Electronics 101.
