Manley Jumbo Shrimp upgrade


Would like to keep and upgrade my current Manley Jumbo Shrimp preamplifier.  Does anyone know of a competent tech who can accomplish this.  Considering $700-1000 worth of upgrades.  Thanks for input.

Gbmcleod,
As you well know this fuse topic has been covered numerous times on this and other open discussion forums. As geofkait noted the ratio is usually quite high in favor of listeners with a positive response. I do believe that some people can have such a negative bias and expectation of "no difference heard" that they’d never admit to any sonic improvement. Bias can and does work in both directions. I’ve heard fuses make a + difference in various systems and multiple components over the years. I remember very similar debates regarding power cables in the past, not so much anymore. My well meaning suggestion to celtic 66 is hey, just give them a try and see what you think.
Charles,
The "positive results" mentioned have been somewhat skewed by the relentless commercial promotion of SR fuses by a few very motivated posters, who by themselves make up a large percentage of the "testimony" in the primary SR fuse thread. When I posted the simple question asking if anybody had a reasonable explanation of why these fuses work (the Athletic Supporters of SR stuff seemed likely to know the answer), it became clear there was simply nobody who has a clue about why Quantum Tunnelling or Graphene dust in a fuse would make any difference. My tests showed it doesn't, but then I didn't pay anything for my test samples.

(I don’t see why) Graphene dust in a fuse would make any difference.

Wolfie, maybe it’s because the Graphene is not in the fuse.

I'd suggest finding the competent tech sought after and ask them what to do.  Ask about a fuse upgrade and see what they say.

Thanks for sharing that information with us. Seriously. Did you make it to the RMAF this year?
