Hifi Supreme Tuning Fuse replacing main power fuse in integrated ARS Sonum-Filarmonia 30 watt E34L tube amp. Improved separation, more realistic all 'round. Not dramatic, but noticeable.
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 just replaced my Classe' 2200 with a CA-2300. I was using a Hifi Supreme in the 2200 to excellent effect, but the 2300 has a completely different topology and requires the following fuse type: IEC time lag, high breaking capacity 12A 250V I cannot find this type listed among the Supremes' offerings, nor from Synergistic Research. Does any audiophile company make an upgraded fuse to replace this? Any suggestions welcome. |
Tbg, That's good advice, but I remain a bit skeptical about sales people's expertise in this rather small niche of audiophilia. If anyone owns the new range of Classe amps and has installed a fuse upgrade, I'd love to hear about it. Classe has always discouraged fuse upgrades for reasons I have never fully understood. |
Vhiner, I just went to Synergistic Research Quantum fuses http://www.synergisticresearch.com/featured/new-category-synergistic-research-quantum-fuses-furutech-hifituningsupreme-fuses/ I note that they have a 12.5 slow blow 20 mm fuse. |
