Fuses that matter.

Anyway, my point is that, regardless of how many metals the sound has moved through becomes somewhat irrelevant since it still produces a final sound you have to live with on a daily basis and MIGHT be able to be improved upon. That said, I'm not trying to defend any particular 'tweak', just saying it is a theoretically attainable end I think.

A one inch fuse changing the sound after passing all of those various metals still makes no sense.

As an aside, when I type your name into my iPad hifitime, it tried to write "hotly me". Does your name have a secret meaning perhaps? ;)

It's your ipad, not mine. Does the ipad have a history of searching for similar entries you may have made? I'm just an audio person. Maybe your ipad needs a designer fuse... No secret meaning though.

I received a Synergistic Research SR20 fuse last week. I never expected it, but the darn thing does smoke the HiFi-Tuning Supreme fuse in my system.

When I finally added the WA-Quantum fuse chip, it added the same effects as it did on my HiFi-Tuning Supreme.

I know that people dispute all of this about fuses and the fuse chips, but are they expensive tweaks? I have a Furutech, a HiFi-Tuning and a Synergistic Research fuse at about $210.00 and three WA-Quantum fuse chips for $27.00.

This much of an investment in tweaks is throw away money compared to my system and all of the revisions and upgrades that I've been through and probably a large percentage of systems on Audiogon.

A $70.00 fuse and $9.00 chip is a tiny expense in the grand scheme of things. If it works like it did in my system, great! If it doesn't, it's $80.00. I wish that was all the extra money I've spent through the years.

I suppose it depends on how valuable the difference is, is there a cheaper way to accomplish the same results, and how much throw away money one has.

Anyone tried the Synergistic fuse on Magnepans (3.7)?

Krell_man, I didn't find the large fuse WA-Quantum chip sounded any different than the small Chip.

Mapman, obviously Krell is not talking about everyone, but if you are attending Audiogon, you can afford the fuses and chips.
