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.

I suppose you're right Tbg...although now I want to order a set of the SR Reds! The Plinius requires 4 rail fuses and a mains. The rail fuses made much more of a difference than the mains....and, most manufacturers even recommend turning them around to find the right orientation! That's a serious number of combinations already. Then if you start mixing and matching fuse types....YIPES! Brain damage...

"And every day the paper boy brings more."

It's definitely not a trivial time or monetary investment and likely hard to resell the other fuses. I have never actually tried, but with all the values and two different sizes it's hard to imagine matching them up with other loonie's tunes.
Thankyou Rodman99999, I will input the SR quantum Reds in my amplifier,I will be absolute as to what, fast blow or slow blow, I am thinking fast blow, I will listen to krell as to what this amp has to have, As I am going to make my modded krell 700cx one of a kind to my likeing, I have already got different total capacitors in this amp, I expected a subtle difference there, I was corrected to having a substantial difference with sound quality, most notably, the resolutution is unlike any krell I have ever owned before, let's put it this way, with the incredible air and 3-dimensional sound I am getting on this resolution, I would be purly impressed to find the SR Red fuses to improve upon that, oh yeah, I am batting for the REDs, bring it!
@Wig-Ouch. Directional, huh?...and there are 5 in the Plinius SA201.
I may wait as I am considering a change to Electrocompaniet.
Budburma, I faced this some time ago. When the manufacturer could not or would not tell me the direction of the fuses, I used a meter to find the side of the fuse with the least resistance to the hot pin of the IEC. I figured that the direction of the fuse was from this side to the other. One manufacturer suggested that most designers used this convention.

It is still a pain to do but better than to have to switch each fuse and listen and on and on.
