Audiophile Fuses: Helpful or "Snake Oil"?


Interested in both general and specific opinions/experiences/explanations etc...

Fuse believers should please repeat after me, while slowly and periodically banging your head against a corner wall:

God grant me the serenity to accept that a fuse does not ever affect the audio performance of an amplifier, the courage to admit to that and the education to understand what a fuse really does, together with the wisdom to know the difference.

Repeat this about 10,000 times and maybe there will be some hope for you.

Synergistic Research Orange fuse DID make a difference. And HIFI Tuning fuse also. Not snake oil. Period. Try for yourself in a system that is highly resolving

I HAVE tried them. That is WHY i am commenting. I also measured on a scope. There is no difference. 

Please take my advice about finding a corner wall :)

I just read an interesting piece, on another thread. Everyone read the information, everyone had an opinion.

Yet I dug out of the information, the "LAST TEST" is to listen. He the person being interviewed also went on to say that listening should precede bench testing. In other words if the stupid thing sounds bad to begin with THEN scope and testing ain’t gonna fix it.. WHY reinvent the wheel. Just to many GREAT amps to copy or just BUY... He also said testing a static fuse is NOT testing under a load. THAT tiny little piece of shi$ wire is ALL that is supplying your 5-20k amp.

Your telling me you scoped a SR Orange or blue fuse?

cakyol, you and George tell fibs, that is all there is too it... Neither of you have listened to SR fuses.. plane and simple...

The amps both of you talk about, would do nothing but sound better. I know you didn’t scope or try them.. Too many years a mechanic... your both full of it.. BUT I still like you.. ay.. But it could be a hearing issue.. I don’t know that for sure... But no, you guys haven’t scoped anything...

Telling me that a .5 amp filament bouncing around when you fire an amp up or hit heavy bass notes, stuff doesn’t move or flex? Geez at least wrap it in tape.. Keep using that 1 dollar Busman. LOL Enjoy the sound, but it could be better..
