If one is going to replace their power cord and buy gold fuses, it seems that this is all for naught without replacing the romex from the outlet to the panel. You have 1.5 inches of fuse and 50 feet of romex. As to the ripple theory, if we are talking about a line fuse where does the ripple come into play - you don't have ripple on the line voltage, or, another way to put it is, all the ac waveform is is ripple. If the fuse is past the bridge how is that contributing to additional ripple. If the fuse is somewhere down the path on the rails a higher resistance caused by the inexpensive fuses (which I do not think is true) would tend to reduce ripple rather than increase the ripple as the load current would be further limited.
fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones
My Rogue Cronus recently blew a slow blow fuse. I was surfing to find a replacement. The stock fuse is a typical metal end cap, glass and "wire" fuse. The audio emporiums only seemed to offer these $39 German gold plated end wunderkinds. I finally found "normal" fuses from a guitar amp site. Has anyone tried the uber fuses and found the sound better? Hard to understand how it could be. Thanks for any thoughts.
