NEW PROTOTYPE FUSES COMING >>>

I’ve been asked to evaluate/beta test some new fuses that will be coming out soon. I should have them as soon as this coming Saturday.

At this point:

1. I cannot reveal the name of the manufacturer of the fuses.
2. I do not know what the retail price will be.
3. I do not know what the name of the fuse will be.

For comparison purposes, I have a full complement of SR Orange fuses that can be used throughout the system. I have one QSA Yellow fuse now being used in my ARC-PH8 phono stage, with another one to arrive soon to be used in my ARC REF-75se.

I’ll be comparing the SR Orange fuses, and the QSA fuses, with the new prototype fuses. I’ll also be using the ears of three of my well-seasoned audiophile friends, as well as my own to make the evaluations. These guys are all truth-tellers that I have full confidence in.

According to the manufacturer, these new fuses are real game-changers, so stay tuned.

Looking forward to to your findings. The more choices we have  the better.
‘There sure seems to be a lot of new fuses coming out lately.
 I tried many fuses over the years, they do seem to be getting better.
 I tried to SR orange fuse in my amps but my amps didn’t like the physical fit. And yes I got the right size. I felt that I was warping the fuse to get it in the amps, they should have fit.

 I ordered the QSA fuses a few weeks ago. I have received 1 fuse so far. Waiting on the second fuse to arrive. The QSA fuse are a little smaller than the SR fuses. 6.3mm x 30mm. SR fuses are 6.3mm x 32mm.
hope they  fit my amps better.

‘Fuses used to be the 3AG type years ago. 1/4” x 1-1/4”. The SR fuses should have fit. I measured the SR fuses with my digital caliper, they seemed to be ok.
‘Good luck with your evaluations.
‘Respectfully 
Joe

I wonder what the market will be for vintage and used fuses?

I'm dazed and confused.  Whatever they are, I hope there won't be the typical game of increasing the amperage value of the fuse because they have a tendency to blow.  I'm done with that game.

No!!! enough is enough, this is just yet another con job to suck in the ones that have already been conned, and look at who's at the helm.
