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.

Well, perhaps more time is needed, but the AMR fuses did not come through on the amps as the fuse did in the PS Audio Power Plant. The sound is a bit cloudy, with a definite rolling off around 4k. Very much the opposite of bright: dull.

Which of you with experience with the AMRs has some idea if there's a break-in time with these fuses. The Synergistics - much as I hate to admit it - have been the best so far, but I haven not put the WA Quantums on the AMR. Even so, the AMRs have had around 10 hours and on Peer Gynt, cut 4, the triangle is so muted, I can barely tell it's there - except that I know it IS there. I turned off the amps, pulled out the AMRs, put the Synergistics back in and, while not in their full glory ( a function, perhaps of the CJ Classic preamp, which I suspect has slightly laid back highs, similar to the ET2 [ but I must state, I don't absolutely KNOW this: I've just NOTICED this since I've had it]), they are audible.
Do the AMRs have some kind of extended break-in time? And yes, before you asked, I've turned them both ways.
I have just installed the AMR fuses in my BelCanto ref500m's and also found that the sound shifted to dull and lifeless.
I also tried an AMR fuse in my Ayre CDx-7mp and found that the sound came alive resulting in a much larger, more defined holographic sound stage.
I am going to try an AMR fuse in my Calypso next.
Orelayer,

On your BelCanto monos, did you give them time to burn-in? Also, after they burned in, did you try reversing the fuses to hear the differences?

Gnmcleod, I noticed once again that the Syn. Res. Quantum fuses seem to have the printing running in the wrong direction. This entailed the four fuses in my LSA Statement Plus amp. But I don't really know whether they add the stickers in a systematic way as they claim the are not directional as they zap them in both directions.
Chuck,
I have had them in for about 12 hrs. How long is the burn in time for the AMR fuses?
