Then both you AND Bernard Andre are fools.

Oh right, right. Why don't we add to that the names of
countless other audio engineers and enthusiasts who are
all aware of the audibility of fuses. I'm still waiting
for that list of "world class amps" that you designed,
that qualifies you to put yourself above Yves Bernard
André.

Yves Bernard André?

Yves Bernard André!

Oh, I get it, YBA brand name equipment.

YBA has been around for at least a decade.

YBA rose to ignominity when they came out with a CD player that *improved*
the sound of CDs by illuminating a certain colored LED in its disc
compartment.

"In addition to the triple beam red laser there is a blue laser which floods
the underside of the CD in blue light which actually adds optical noise. As
Yves himself says " the optical noise created by the blue laser (known as
"stochastic resonance".......a great name for a heavy metal band in my
humble opinion!) actually permits the recovery of some information whose
energy was not sufficient to drive a 0 to a 1 or the other way around".

Let's not get too hung up on the fact that "stochastic resonance" is an
oxymoron if there ever was one.

The problem with the YBA optical players is that there are objective
standards for correct recovery of the audio data on a CD. Needless to say,
ideal recovery of audio data from CDs is possible without "stochastic
resonance", and indeed there is no discernable benefit from this "stochastic
resonance".
