Fuses that matter.

I had put four Synergistic Research Quantum fuses into my LSA/Exemplar Statement Plus amp and thought they were a great improvement. I had not put the WA Quantum fuse Chips on them as I only had three. Yesterday I robbed another off one of my unused component and put one on each of the fuses.

I was unprepared for the magnitude of the improvement with the Chips. Everything that I listened to after putting Chips on at about noon, was just vastly improved. The width of the sound stage was greatly improved as though the cross-talk had been greatly reduced. The deepth of the image became more vivid in the background. In live recording the audience became more present.

This amplifier truly became world class. I bought it for use in a summer home, but now???

After reading all of these post about the S.R. quantum fuses, I would like to try some. I will get one for my ps audio preamp and ps audio hcpc for the preamp. Can someone help me out and let me know where the fuse is located in my ps audio power plant premeire as I would like to change that fuse also, thanks

Kedoades, you will probably find it on the back of your preamp. It frequently is part of the IEC chassis mount where the power cord plug into. If so, you will need to remove the power cord out.

If it is not there, try inside by removing the top cover. You may just see fuses in fuse clips or it may be in a black box that is a little wider and longer than a fuse, which you open with a small screw driver that fits into the square hole in the cover at one end.

You will need to know the amp value for the fuse, which is in print on one end. You will also need to note whether it is "slow" blow or " fast blow' and how long it is in millimeters. The short ones are 20 mm and the large one 32plud mm. You will need to remove the existing fuse and insert the new one. You beed to be careful doing so. Then there is direction. All I can say is that direction matters The manufacturer may tell you or alternatively say you are crazy to ask. Your best course is to insert the fuse one way and listen and then reverse its direction and listen again. Leave it where it sounds best.

Acording to the manuel, there are no user survice fuses in the power plant premire, but I will still order 2 for my other gear. Not sure about the chip things, I will have to read up on those

The chips worked on my HifI supremes and on the AMR Golds.
Why,How?
Who cares.
