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.

Bryon, another hilarious post....of course I was joking by calling myself a troll. Now, the real question is who is the troll here, you or me? You have certainly stalked me like one. By the way there are many reasons why you did not get definitive results with you fuse experiments, some of which have been touched upon, but since you are so persistent in stalking me, it might be of some interest to mention them now. One reason is your system is not up to standards needed for a test. You yourself pointed out the contacts had to be cleaned. That's not a very good sign. Another reason for inconclusive results is that your hearing is not all that you claim it is.

Funny, all this chestbeating and namecalling resulted from something as obscure and magical as a tiny little fuse.

Anyway, it's been nice stalking with you.

Cheers
I am riveted to my listening chair (and I have yet to try better fuses, no really).
Gravitas to Bryon for excellent thread work!
And if you look at a virtual system photo and in that pictorial is displayed proudly and prominently a in wall giant resonance collection chamber [a TV] a virtual time machine of phase errors and noise, a sure cause of time release headaches and in the picture of that TV display you see a mirror image of the proud owner reflecting at his desk, recording his self image at his listening position and behind that hot spot is a row of windows that reside over his shoulders. A picture of science at rest. Golly gee, sure example of someone who should be giving advice and reasoning on the viability of fuses making a marked change in anyone's audio system based on that reflective beam box, laser like and bouncing back between his eyes ....That is a standard of reference to judge what? And then there is me guilty of my own giant run on sentences. figure it out your selves. Tom
Taking a look at that virtual system leads me to think that even though there is a large screen TV between the speakers and windows behind the listener and one to the side, this is pretty much a standard room, give or take, that one must deal with and to make the best of. Every listeners room is different and actually no better unless one can afford a dedicated room, optimized for listening.

From my own experience, I realized the differences in fuses without addressing the large screen TV between my speakers, not to mention having no treatment behind me (save for a large sectional where I sit and a bare wall with no treatment) and a whole wall of windows to my immediate right so there is something else at play here.

Yes, addressing reflections would help any system but I don't see how they would conflict or overshadow the results of changing fuses as the results were of a different nature, and magnitude, at least for me.

All the best,

And the magnitude of difference heard within a reflective pinball machine would be more or less...or none at all. If you knew how to listen thru all of that maybe one, would be able to decipher the audio code. Ask the Pin Ball Wizard he may know. The difference of these fuse types is not subtle..no more than my dismissal of those who partake here and say there is no basis for difference or that they are unable to hear any. That's their findings..Looking thru a optically challenged Hubble telescope only reflects the glare not the substance. Tom
