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.

I use fancy fuses on my amps & cdp, and I'm happy...

...Not because they make no discernible difference to my system, but because I'm not missing out.:)
I am serious, they are there, and they are directional too: supposedly has to do with the ground. The fuses were given to me as a present by my amps' dealer.
(fyi- the amps are class A)

I took out the fuses altogether and replaced with sold 660 brass plugs and guess what............the sound opened up, My amps are each on a 20 amp breaker (mono blocks)Let the music play!!!

Pack, I hear you.

Been there done that, but prefer the safety of having the HiFi Supremes.

Before they came along I lived on the edge as you are now.

No arguments from me, no fuse is the best way to go soundwise.Goes way back to the late 70's, re Peter Aczel.

You have found out first hand what so many here fail to understand, the fuse compromises the sound.

Pack, I have tried magnets in place of fuse and even silver wire. I will say that there is a different sound, but I felt unsafe.

The magnets are directional as well but then they tell you that, at least on this end of the equator you know whats up...Try them with AVM. Tom
