Fuses that matter.

Thanks Ron for the comp, though that reviewer is using SR for power conditioning and all cabling, and must be grateful to SR for so much generosity. Just need a concluding one between the SR Red and AM super fuse. I have AM Liquid Nano in my mono blocks that could use an upgrade and will order the the "new black" for them and my DAC.

Hi Al, I am doing fine, still happily tweaking and have actually done more than I noted on my systems page. The recent round of cable upgrades, a.o. power cords, has logically made me revisit all tweaks in the power path that does not require sending the unit to a shop. Glad to hear that the SR Red fits well both upstream and downstream and does not exhibit the imbalance that their Tesla SE sockets - though pretty good - have.

Hi everyone, question, 250 volt 1 amp glass fuse is a fast blow fuse?, the fuse has a straight wire that is not spring looking, however, the fuse is full size, not the smaller of the pics that is on the site of the red fuses, man, I would need four for the amplifier!

Hello Mr. A- There are fast and slo-blo fuses manufactured in both 6.3 X 30mm and 5 X 20mm sizes. It's the internal conductor/construction that determines the lag time. Generally speaking; a single thin wire would indicate a fast-blo type, but it would be much better to check your owner manual, or with the manufacturer, for the recommended fuse.

FWIW, a few years ago I went through a few of fuses for my Plinius SA201; HiFi Supreme, AMR and Furutech. The Furutech seemed the most balanced to me with the HiFi supreme more dynamic, but brighter especially in the high mids. The AMR was is a great bargain and very easy to listen to but lacked some detail by comparison. All three were better than the stock fuses and the replacing the rail fuses made much more of a difference than the mains fuse.

My Klyne seemed to like the HiFi fuse more, but the difference was difficult to pin down and I wouldn't swear to the impacts of the different fuses. The pre has only a mains fuse and it is in the DC converter...

Charles-I should be receiving the AMR DP777SE soon and am anxious to see what you think of the AM vs the SR although it would be easy to take for granted that their fuse would be a nice match for their own gear...of course all the normal caveats apply.

Budburma, wow that is way too much testing for me. But I must say that I'm not surprised that you would hear such differences. I must say that once I decided that I liked the SR fuses, I did hear that on some components they made more of a difference.
