Fuses that matter.

I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.

It's a shame that we steered off the path. We were asked about fuses that matter. I feel they do & are more important in some equipment than others.

Suddenly we have got personal. We should be discussing which fuse worked well & did its direction impact the sound? Now we are dissecting arguments & character.

Bryon is excellent at keeping things clear. Even so we still have got lost. Human nature I guess.

Maybe the OP should read "people's opinion that matter". Music matters. Not the gear. It's seems similar to a religious doctrine. The point gets lost in the argument.

"It's seems similar to a religious doctrine. "

Fusism would be a good name I suppose?

Nebulous things like this that defy scientific models will inevitably be viewed from a dogmatic perspective by each I suppose.

What else is there to say?

Bryon, you're being argumentative again. I was simply pointing out that I have not accused you of wasting your time testing fuses. Why would I? But why would you say "you guys say it's a waste of time to experiment with fuses" unless you thought I was? Since I actually wasn't accusing you of wasting your time, your twisted logic notwithstanding, I have decided to let my strawman remark stand.

Well, one thing that could be said is that all of the various aftermarket fuses, including Audio Magic's Nano Fuse, have been very favorably reviewed, often rave reviewed, in major audiophile magazines, at least once. A cursory search turned up eight reviews. A skeptic would say it's the placebo effect or expectation bias or group hypnosis. LOL
