I have noticed that this has become more common with people who have joined Head-fi in the last couple of years and seem to interject controversy for the sheer enjoyment of it wherever they go, rather than be a productive part of the debate. I also notice that is comes from younger people who enjoy this type of banter on other sites.
This is a new era for Head-Fi and I'm not sure it's one that the tenured people enjoy, which has made them stop posting valuable info to share with the community.
Wheever some makes one of these statements, I check their posting history and see a pattern that is consistent to this.
I apologize, I forgot to quote the post I was replying to so it did indeed seem like I was trying to ignite controversy. Though I will admit, my posts of late have been silly. Most of them have been in the two threads pertaining to fuses, can you guess why?

Bypass the fuses and potentially roast the gear or your home .... now that would be foolish.

Let me get this straight, you are recommending to both n00Bs and knowledgeable people with technical backgrounds, to run AC components while bypassing a fuse?
That about ends your validation as a competent person to discuss audio with.
Seriously people, don't try this at home, it is a professional stunt that is only to be done on a closed course by people with expendable cash in one hand and fire extinguishers in the other.
What a perfectly pointless analogy. Electricity does NOT equal water through pipes. Using that analogy, when electricity (water) hits a choke point, it increases pressure (like when you put your thumb over the end of the hose). So basically, when you hit a so-called "choke point" (talking about a fuse here, not a resistor), your voltage goes up and your current drops...not true. Besides, fuses aren't choke points, they are designed not to resist the current they are designed for.
Simply put, you cannot think of electricity as water through plumbing.
Proved that despite its huge size the CD3000 can be shoved down one's throat.

Well to be 100% accurate while to place the thumb on the hose what you increase is the speed, the pressure in both scenarios is the same, cero, the pressure in an open flow of fluid is always cero...
