THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses?

There are 2 brands that I know of; the most commonly known IsoCleans and the HiFi Tuning fuses. Believe the Isocleans are Chinese while the HiFis are made in Germany. The Germaan fuses are ceramic instead of glass and the metal is gold plated silver. The actual fuse material is also silver. The HiFi tuning fuses are available from The Cable Company. Isocleans are available from several sources. Don't know how they work as I have not tried them.

Another thing I should have mentioned, Isocleans slo-blo only, HiFi available both slo-blo and fast-blo.

Porziob - don't knock them if you haven't tried them.

Rja - Isoclean fuses are sold direct by aaudioimports.com. According to Brian Ackerman at Aaudioimports, Isoclean makes them in slow blow only because they found fast blow don't sound as good. I imagine the Hifi Tuning fuses are also excellent, and it's not a lot of money to try one or the other or both.

I was skeptical, but the level of performance raised way out of proportion to the price when I installed them in my amps. Bass got deeper and more tuneful, no question about it. Coating them with Walker's most excellent SST was also an improvement, especially in soundstage depth and imaging. Benefits were also there when installed in a PowerPlant, CDP/preamp, and speakers, although, as Brian found, not as dramatic as the amps (JC 1'S as well). I will probably install more of them inside the amplifiers when the upgrade high fades. It's a cheap fix.

Haven't tried different fuses but I do hear a difference by wrapping Teflon Plumber's tape tightly around the glass portion three or four times. In my system I hear an attendant reduction in edge definition. As always YMMV.
