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.

Grindstaff, it is a long story but they will be arriving this week. Your question is a good one. I would expect no fuses in the crossovers, but I will check. Since I heard a pair of Arcadia speakers September that had been playing for about a month and at the RMAF heard them again and they were much better, I expect, it will be a month before they are near their best.

Hasse, I've tried the new synergistic fuses on the 1.7's. Huge difference! Huge soundstage, deeper more tuneful bass and so much more detail. All the while smooth. Highly recommended. (I've tried Hifi Tuning & Furutech's before this).

Thanks, so you prefer SR20 to HiFi Tuning? BTW, which model, Gold or Supreme?

Hasse, this comparison of fuses is muddled by the WA-Quantum fuse Chips. Either the HiFi Tuning Supreme or the Syn. Res. Quantum fuses are superior to the other when one has the WA-Quantum Chip on it. Overall, I prefer the SR with the WA-Quantum Chip versus the HiFi Tuning with the WA Chips.

Tbg and everyone,

Well, here's a wrench to throw into the fuse mix, the AMR Gold fuse.

I was looking through the various 2012 RMAF reports and saw that Avatar Acoustics received outstanding comments from show reporters.

Since I know Darren and Bonnie of Avatar, having bought a Karan amp from them, as well as some Acoustic Systems resonators, and I still use their Afterburner 8 outlets.

I revisited their website to browse for anything new and saw the AMR Gold fuse. After reading the review, I thought that I'd try one. There's only $20.00 a piece and I still had one WA-Quantum fuse chip left unused.

I received it and put it in. Everyone using audiophile fuses should think about giving this a try. I'll just say that it's in and the three other high-end fuses are in the closet.
