Fuses that matter.

Actually the fuse wire of the Gold Fuse is silver alloy, the end caps are gold plating over copper. The reason for gold for the end caps is less oxidation compared to copper or silver, obviously.

The gold fuses actually make sense to me in terms of potential technical advantage. Assuming they are certified somehow to work as a proper fuse should to blow at the right timeas (unknown?), these are one I might consider next time I need a fuse replacement.

Benefits should always outweigh risks. That's the basic equation for what works. The users decides. The purpose of a fuse is to protect the equipment that uses it. That's the main benefit. WHatever it might or might not do for sound quality should be a secondary consideration IMHO.

Faint heart ne'er won fair maiden. Methinks you worry too much.

"Most everyone at the Geek Meet in the Desert cannot get above the noise floor." - Stereophile reviewer Shannon Dickson's comment on the sound of high end systems at CES

I recently listened to the AMR fuses, The Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme, and the Synergistic fuses.

On tube equipment, I like the AMR over the others. They are more tonally correct and counteract the tendency of tube equipment to sound "soft". These differences are slight, but very noticeable. The Supreme fuses were just a little too bloomy, and the midrange on up had a slight glare or emphasis.

On the solid state equipment,(I only tried two components), The Supreme fuses gave a little more bloom and weight, while bringing out more detail, which silver usually does. The effect was slight and welcomed. It was not like using a silver interconnect, or worse yet, a silver conductor power cord. Those usually soften the bass too much, and throw off the tone. The Supreme fuses are like adding some of the positive aspects of silver conductors, while minimizing the usual negatives.
I may need more time with the Synergistic fuses, but my first impressions are they are more shrill than the others, but are quite clear in the upper treble range.

Greetings to all from St. Petersburg.

I AMR fuses, others do not know, which is better?
Synergistic research quantum fuse I think to buy.
Can you say more about the experience Synergistic Research Quantum fuse, the pros and cons.
Thanks,
