Fuses seem like …well hind tit….@tomic601, You have sent my analytical skills into overdrive !!!
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.

Wolfie sez >>> "Weird...sort of like believing that fuses can influence the tone of sound reproduction devices." I don't think the fuses are influencing the sound. I think they are getting out of the way of the sound. In other words, they allow for lower noise saturation throughout the system. Like everything else that has lowered noise in the system, more of what is on the recording is heard at the speaker end. This may sound weird, but most of the tweaks I've talked about in this forum over the past five years or so have done exactly that. The PPT Gate, mats, TC, etc., all have had their influence by lowering the noise floor. All of the aftermarket fuses I've tried over the years have done the same thing. With these latest fuses, both the QSA Yellow and the new prototypes, the noise is lowered even further. Frank |
O’papa For many or at least some, for whatever reasons good or bad, the equipment noise floor is not such a concern or noticeable problem as it seems for you. With all the revelatory reductions in noise floor over the years, with multiple fuses and other tweaks, is there a chance that the actual ambient noises of the recording studios or live performance halls are what is being reduced? |
rsf507 >>> It is appalling how dirty the AC power entering our homes really is. Every time I try one of these noise-lowering tweaks, I think there's no more noise to be removed. The PPT "GATE" was extremely effective in lowering noise. At that point, I thought I had the noise issue solved for sure. Little did I know how much further the system could be taken. Again, after installing more tweaks and devices to lower noise, I thought I had the noise issue solved. Then, along comes the prototype fuses. Zowie. They are really good. As a side note, I got the word this morning that the introduction date will be mid-October. No word on price yet. Stay tuned ... Frank |
