Fuses that matter.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

The WA Quantum Chips from Germany come in a variety of, uh, formulations. One of the formulations is intended for fuses. In fact, the fuse type WA Quantum Chip will be incorporated into all Hi Fi Tuning fuses in the future.

Geoffkait, actually WA Quantum has fuses with their Chips on them. There is an interrelationship between WA Quantum and HiFi Tuning. The fuse chips have great benefit on all fuses I have tried. Indeed, the Chips work well in every application where I have tried them. Why they work I don't know, but work they most definitely do.

Can we rule out vibration control?

;-)

Question. If you have a fuse holder do the chips go on the side of the fuse?

Geofffkait, the effects of those for speakers are so different from one location to another that you might expect that. Those on cables suggest otherwise. They are hard to get to stick to nylon covers. I carefully pressed them around the speaker cables and found a big improvement. One night while still enjoying them, I noticed that one was just hanging by one corner. When rewrapped it and held it fast with tape, it sounded the same. On fuses, the Cable Company suggested putting them on the ends on the sides or the ends themselves depending on where your fuse contacts were. I experimented with each as well as in the center. I don't know where vibration would most affect a fuse. Finally for those for transformers, I experimented with putting it on the core, on the windings, and on the screw down. All locations sounded the same.

All of these experiences cause me to doubt that they are vibration dampening. I cannot think of better tests of this hypothesis.

Ozzy, as I said above, I don't think it matter much where you put the Chip.
