Being the curious sort, I looked into the "research" Synergystic Research was speaking about (and you alluded to) and checked the detail of what you posted Andrew...
As you said, what you quoted just there is not remotely related with SR Black fuses and in fact has "fuck all" (as they say) to do with the subject being discussed, and is (in fact) for a completely different product.
I looked into that product: http://www.synergisticresearch.com/n...ct-atmosphere/
And the "research" they were quoting came direct from NASA.

Low hanging fruit huh?
Easy to draw the wrong inference, especially if it makes you entertaining.
As Marco touched on, At least your getting your jollys, that's what matters.
Ffs.

This led us to research of factors that contribute to fluctions in the Earth’s ambient RF environment. Ted reasoned that if differences in RF can degrade the sound, then RF can be modeled and shaped to improve the sound.
There are three major disturbances on the Sun that affect radio propagation here on Earth. Solar Flares, Coronal Holes, and Sudden Disappearing Filament (SDF). Each disturbance causes both electromagnetic radiation and ejection of material from the Sun that alters RF on Earth. What we looked at was how each of these disturbances affects our RF environment during the day vs late at night with the intention to mimic late night conditions to improve sound mid-day..."
And it goes on. Make of it what you will.
