So done with audiophile fuses

The journey started with a medium priced ($50) fuse in my power supply.  A failed rectifier tube blew that one out.  Not a fuse problem.  Next up was a blue fuse in my pre amp.  It blew and was not caused by a pre amp problem.  Apparently they sometimes are more sensitive and it was replaced by an orange fuse two values higher.  Things were going along fine.  I replaced the pre amp with a newer version of the pre amp and it has the same fuse value.  Five months latter (today) I turn on the pre amp and nothing.  it's a five month old pre amp so I suspected that it was the fuse.  Sure enough, I replaced it with a ceramic Littelfuse of the lower correct value it works fine.  No more wasting my money on unstable fuses for me.

"How many more will deleted because it fails to fit the shill narrative."



They don’t want a narrative, they want to preserve lazy astronomical profits.


What does a £50 fuse cost to make?

How is it better than a standard one?

Is there ANY electrical measument to confirm ANY superiority?

I thought not.
My comment that you took this from was also deleted...🤣🤣🤣

Hey...let's all get into the "audiophile fuse" business. When one can buy from China for 3 cents a unit in quantity, the business model starts looking pretty good...if you have zero ethics and conscience.
