Being an ElectroNumpty don't understand any of the theories on here. At the end of the day if you can hear an improvement and you are happy to pay for it then who cares why it does what it does or what it measures?

There's a lot of denial and closed thinking. Not what I'd expect at AOS, other forums maybe...

Sure Marco. What I'm saying is that what we sense even when listening to music is not necessarily simply sound between 20hz and around 14kHz. There may well be stimulus outside traditional frequencies, these could be as Mr C suggests at frequencies above our normal hearing capabilities. It may nor be "hearing" but some form of perception, possibly aligned with the scientific paper linked to several posts ago.
There are aspects to perception we don't understand. Who knows what's going on?

Quite where you would fit a fuse of any kind in a grounding cable which is terminated on the box end by either a spade or banana and on the equipment end with an RCA phono plug, BNC, XLR, USB or RJ45 connector, is beyond me!
Remember too, that the terminations at the equipment end are only connected to ground!
Just thought I would mention this as it doesn't appear as though you have been following the discussion closely!
