I did in http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=278614&postcount=12 As others have pointed out, the fuse is short. One could argue that resistance is really measures in x milliohms per foot for any vaguely useful cable, so if the speaker cable is marginal and long, it might make a difference in voltage drop. The fuse element is typically short, fractions of an inch. But once the cable is long, its resistance is "big enough" then the resistance of the fuse drops out of the equation. In general, there is no point in an four-OUGHT cable when there is a 18 gauge fuse in line. -- pfarrell Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pfarrell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=200 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44602 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
