To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

I used to buy fancy Synergistics Red and Black fuses..
My new gear is a Pair of PS Audio Stellar M700’s with a Schiit Freya Preamp..
I’m happy to say that both companies make the Fuses inaccessible to the consumer..
Thank goodness..

My amp manufacturer heard his/my amps with the SR Blue fuses (a huge skeptic about fuses until comparing bussman to SR Blues) and said he would do one better. He replaced his amp fuses with circuit breakers (5 amp). However, they were NOS 40 years old and untested so he is gambling but knows how to repair his equipment (I don’t). His amps sounded terrific. At least as good as my Blue fused amps. I will now try the SR Orange fuses particularly because they reportedly sound better than broken in SR Blues right out of the box.
My pre-amp and phono pre do not use fuses at all.  Nothing's blown in over 15 years and they use sub-miniature, 100,000 hour rated tubes. Yeah!

Wyred4Sound's STI-v2 integrated employs a circuit breaker on the back panel in lieu of a fuse. Hopefully, more manufacturers will catch on.

All the best,
Nonoise

How long do we have to wait before there are audiophile circuit breakers? 

@ millercarbon

" no one could possibly be bone dense enough to build an amp with SEVEN fuses "

Adcom did.  The GFA7707 uses one on each channel board.

Just saying...
