Fuses that matter.


I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.

At the risk of seeming dense (which I am wont to do as others see me), let me repeat that it's all a matter of degree.

Some systems are already up and running to the point where the benefits of better fuses will not be as dramatic as in a lesser resolving system (this is NOT a knock on anyones system). Maybe a 5% improvement instead of a 20% improvement, making it harder to ascertain. Heck, the improvement may be even less than 5% and that would drive me mad, wondering if I were just imagining things.

From what I can glean from Bryons findings are that he DOES hear a difference. albeit not as big as the ones we hear. Too many variables that cannot be addressed here as to why but I don't feel him to be a naysayer, just more curious as to what is going on and careful not to attribute things to some corollary when not definitively established.

Cautious, not certain as of yet.

I, myself, thought I heard an improvement when changing fuse direction but I wasn't sure. But I keep them in the direction that 'seemed' to sound best.

There is this circle we seem to be on: a circle defined by words, or rather, our lack of them. If one were to carefully reread all the aforementioned, one would see that we pretty much agree on the positive effects of fuses, just not to the same degree.

As for that beer, I'll take some Pinor Noir.
Sorry, make that Pinot Noir (Lot 59 from the Santa Lucia Highlands, 2009) and I haven't even had a glass yet.
"Logically, what can we conclude from all of this evidence?"

Some people hear differences with fuses that they like.

That's about it.
Also geoffkait taking so much time to push the concept tells me to stay away.
