Oh, for fucks sake. This is why fully functional people laugh at audiophools.
"Yeah, I'm totally gonna pay 120 pounds/dollars/euros/whatever for this fuse, cuz it totally makes a yuge difference, trust me, I can hear it".
Fuck off and die. How about you donate that money to starving children or cancer research or something, you collossal pile of shit?

I noticed a huge improvement in sound quality when I stopped spending stupid amounts of money on equipment and started listening on my iPad.
Fuck you, you gullible twats.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I had more spine-tingling moments where life just seemed fucking great listening to music on my Sony Walkman cassette player or on the old stereo with a blown speaker in my old long-gone '87 VW than these guys literally could ever have listening to the expensive gear that gives them so much misery. And yet not a single one of them can comprehend my point.
FWIW, you can replace a blown fuse with a piece of gum wrapper, if you know what you are doing. No reason it wouldn't sound just fine, too. It might start a fire, but that is not a sound quality issue.

Damn it was a good thread but Turbodriver and Agitater may have scared off Ortorega

I was fortunate enough that my dad had a good stereo system since before I was born so I was spoiled growing up listening to a lot of my favorite music. But listening on his stereo wasn’t always an option. I had to rely on shitty computer speakers and Walkman headphones a lot, and had lots of religious experiences with those too

I got handed down a sweet Fisher MC-725 with a blown out speaker. Audio nirvana for me!

My setup from the late 80's through the late 90's was built around a pair of second-hand Sansui speakers from the early 70's. One of the woofers blew out early on so I replaced both with Radio Shack woofers that didn't quite fit. Never had any complaints about the sound.

Currently listening to music on youtube through a pair of 50 euro headphones plugged in to my shitty old laptop.
And fucking loving it.

The only "equipment" I had growing up was a cheap Japanese transistor radio my grandfather bought in Vietnam. He got drunk the night he bought it, pissed all over it, puked on it for good measure, and then decided to clean it up by submerging it in a dirty bathtub for a few days. When he came home from the war and gave me the radio, it would power up only sporadically and, when it did, turning it up above the volume of a whisper resulted in little more than a tepid sheet of white noise.
But to this day, that radio is my benchmark for reproduced music. It had everything I'll ever need in a piece of audio equipment: it gave me a smug sense of self-satisfaction that no $100 fuse could ever bring.

And your father's bodily emissions for that warm tube-y sound. |

The fact that his dad had to hide the radio in his ass for five years from the Vietcong also adds to the sonics.
