PROTOTYPE FUSES - NEW THREAD

My system has transformed over the years.
Age affords upgrades (modestly done).
Internet aids research and discussion.

The icing on the cake has to be power cables, interconnects, power supplies, USB/SPIDF converters, grounding boxes, fuses, isolation pads.

My ears are the tools.
My pleasure is the measurement.

Objective listening impressions are not scientific.

Empirical observation is the basis for scientific learning. Instruments have to be constantly calibrated. The combination of man’s sense plus his (or her) brain is one of the most powerful measuring devices on the planet.


millercarbon, be (play) nice...☺

I tried a QSA light blue two weeks ago mainly because of what I heard on these boards. I was amazed at the improvement it made to my system. I expected it could perhaps make a slight change, but it turned out to be very noticeable. So much so that I am upgrading all my fuses and my heightened interest in Franks threads.

If fuses made no difference in my system I would say so. I have no skin in the game and I paid full retail.

I can understand why somebody would be skeptical and refrain from trying audiophile fuses, but I am perplexed as to why anyone would feel compelled to claim they do not work when they have not even tried them?

I had this exact thought when reading about isolation footers. The only difference with some here is that I never shared my scepticism with anyone. It was along the lines of "how can items placed under my amp makes a positive and noticeable difference."
You know, better separation, lower noise floor, wider sound stage etc

Ended up trying/buying Black Ravioli Pads.

Notes at the time:
"A set of 4 each for the Dac and Dac power supply.
A set of 4 underneath the amp.
It has brought all the changes I've made, together.
Synergy, I'd call it.
Really enjoying the music.
Seems that was what I was missing.
My cynicism has disappeared. BR Pads work.
Although pricey, they are well worth it; an investment."

Have since upgraded to Black Ravioli Big Pads for the amp.
