    I agree up to a point - but the claims of these are just too ridiculous to take seriously. I cannot believe that putting beeswax into a fuse can in any way aid transparency, detail or owt else. I also doubt it would meet safety regulations. Wax - great for starting fires lol

    Wax doesn't catch fire though, or candles wouldn't work very well. Otherwise I agree the concept is ridiculous.

    It would have to somehow get out of the container for that to happen.

    Given the nature and price of the product criticising it on the grounds of safety seems almost superfluous

    Even liquid wax doesnt burn easily. It needs to be turned into gases. Thats the wicks job. Candles are a very interesting thing.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I was having a go at the write-up on that blog, not your good self ... it's one thing saying 'i heard an improvement, you should give it a listen', another going on like a someone having an attack of verbal dysentery at a wine-tasting night .... I just don't believe that there's that much to say about the differences between fuses.

    BTW did someone say you were from Motherwell? I'm originally from there though haven't lived in Scotland since 1991.
