Upgrading Fuses

Jedinite,

If you haven't experimented with a good power conditioner or after market power cords, you might consider that before fuse upgrades. The advantage of power conditioners is that they can improve every component plugged into them. They also lower the noise floor to such an extent that you'll hear tweaks and adjustments to your system more readily. Shunyata and PS Audio gear can be found for reasonable prices on a'gon. Not that it proves anything, but my father was thrilled with the improvements he heard recently after we applied power conditioning to his midfi system. He has the NAD 326BEE and Meadowlark speakers, which are hardly pricey. Good luck on your journey.

Sebrof - "To me, this is the crux of the debate. When someone's limit is above or below their own some people simply cannot deal with that."

Good point.

I am firmly in the camp that upgraded power cords, whether DIY or store bought name brand and upgrades to the power delivery are crucial if not mandatory today.

Wallplugging your gear , or going straight into the wall which was the norm back when I started in the 1970's,for me, isn't the way to get the most bang for your audio buck.

And neither is a stock fuse.

So, if you are in the camp that can hear the differences that power cords and power line upgrades can do for your system then you owe it to yourself to go the next step and purge your gear from one of the last bottlenecks to good sound.

That they cost so little, is a novelty in this day, when you hear what they can do.

Those upgraded power cords are still at the mercy of the stock fuse.

Replace the fuse and finally hear all the improvements that the power cords and conditioners can deliver.

It's really that simple and cheaper than the countless amp,speaker trials and errors audiophiles submit themselves to.

It's all in the little details, add them up and you start to see the big picture.

Lacee - I'm in the camp that gives up after 3 pages of the same arguments.
Happy listening!

Happy listening is indeed the end result ,and the intended one at that.
Why else bother with the expense of upgrades?
