FUSES, Finally!?


     I have been adamant about avoiding special fuses, because of the lack of empirical studies.  Here is my question:  What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start.  I use three dual mono Audire amps (for Woofs, Mids and Tweets, and Subs, each of the six channel having four fuses.  I would not not want to spend thousands, even if I could, just to experiment.  My heat sinks do unplug, along with the outputs, and I could try just one channel or one amp.  Paul of PS mentioned what they use, and that might eventually be a possibility, but what do you guys (and gals?) think I should do, to just to convince this ageing skeptic?  Also, each channel of my amps has one single, dedicated computer chip that regulates the filling of the 4 26,000 mf caps (per channel), which might make any difference less than a design that allows a flood of electrons into the tank, presuming that might matter.  DanV

Looks like you may have integrated power cords? Install an IEC connector and upgrade your power cord. Much cheaper and an larger sonic bump. You can always get a 3 for 2 deal on the SR. I have 4 blacks on the rails of my monos and an Orange in the IEC. Every bit adds up. 
“I have had several audiophile friends tell me about their new fancy fuses and I have shown them, in their own system, that when they didn’t know what fuse was installed, they couldn’t tell the fancy fuse from a basic fuse.”

Thanks for humoring us 😂

PS: Do you know anyone here who can possibly confirm your involvement as stated? 
Can you point out one person on here who has actually done a blind test on a fuse?  No. They all have "superior" hearing and could never fool themselves .....
I would concentrate on the mids and highs only you will not need special fuses for the bass frequencies nearly as much if at all and try to see if you can find a dealer to send you a selection of different fuses that you need and try them out it could make a real difference depending on your amp and entire system.
The truth is folks, fuses in general, are bad for sound. They limit current, and are a band aid for the purpose of the protection of gear. This is the fact. As theaudiotweak pointed out with transformers, they produce mechanical vibration ( and other things ). Take any amplifier design, and isolate the power transformer ( s ) from the chassis ( cork and rubber, a simple mouse pad ) can do wonders. I use sheets of Dynamat, if I have the room within the chassis, and it is incredible the cleanliness of the sound, with this one tweak. Of course, I dampen the entire chassis, including those horrible heat sinks, which ring like hell ( they all do ). Everything makes for sonic improvements, as I have done for myself, and many others. Doing and listening, is the only way to know. And back in the day, when components did not have IEC inlets, I replaced the cords ( soldered ) to better, heavier gauge cords by the big cable manufacturers ( Belden, Southwire, as examples ), and incredible sonic improvements, every time. If anyone opens their gear ( inclusive of fuse replacement ), I recommend to be careful, and hope you know what you are doing. I take zero responsibility ( if anything bad or dangerous is to happen ) for recommending these things to anyone who wants to tackle them. I have nothing more to say, at this point, on the fuse topic. Enjoy, and be well.
