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.

Krell_man,
Your EE friend's observations are interesting. About a month ago I placed the SR fuses in my amplifiers and line stage and the purity, transparency and clarity improved noticeably compared to the stock fuses. The overall organic character of the system is unchanged. They are a very cost effective upgrade.

The EE said that the marking on the HiFi-Tuning fuses indicate that the fuses are filtering in addition to being a fuse. I don't know why he thought that the Furutech also had filtering, and the SR and AMR didn't.

Since he's the head of the plant's engineering department and there's a big construction project going on right now, unfortunately, he's not someone that I can just go see anytime I want.

Krell_man, it is hard to know how someone could do filtering within a fuse, dampening, yes, but filtering no. Having had EE and physics training at the undergraduate level, I know that many EEs are assertive to a fault.

Norm,

I know. He was just basing his observation off of the marking on the HiFi-Tuning fuse and assuming that it was there for a reason other than making the fuse look more high-end or snazzy.

I think it's the same marking as the one on the HiFi-Tuning Noise Destroyer, which is a filter. It may just be a company logo thing or it may actually mean something about what it's doing.

I believe that he said that part of the symbol designates a diode and another something else. Can those things be fitted in there?

Mr K- Kinda what I thought. Those markings are simply a logo. Most definately not a schematic. Happy listening!
