Fuses that matter.

I have had the AMR, Audio Magic Liquid and now SR fuses. In my opinion the best fuse was....... no fuse.

For DAC's, pre-amps and optical players you are better off jumping the fuse, always. I have never had to replace a blown fuse in low voltage equipment like this, so will run the risk.

Amplifiers is another story. I'm not game enough to go there, even with the electrical box having breaker switches. But once you realise how much a fuse can color the sound of your amp, it does gets tempting.

No fuse is just better. Imagine how bad UK audiophiles have it, as well as the components, they also have fuses in each AC connector of the main cables.

I also think the SR fuses are the best. And they are definately directional, unlike some of the other fuses where I could not tell a difference by reversing them.

Agisthos, I think SR hoped they would not be directional. So far I have always found the direction of the printing on the sticker on them goes agains the direction where they sound best.

Yes I think you are right Norm. Even when I don't think the fuse is directional, I still put it with writing as the direction due to my audiophile OCD tendancies.
But with the SR when direction was changed I could hear it easily. I would not say it was vastly better, but it was certainly a different sonic presentation.

This was quite a change to my previous fuse direction swapping attempts, where I was straining to hear any difference.
