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.

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.

AND just in case; Slo-Blo is synonymous with Time Lag, as can be seen on this Littelfuse data sheet: (http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Littelfuse/0218010HXP/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvFDy2ynfLiNS%252bPLgNldHoz4YtqwB9TwGI%3d)

Tbg, I had just learned the 12.5 was available...but the Time Lag terminology was throwing me off, Rodman99999.

Many thanks to both of you! This is great news.

I'll post the results of adding the Synergistic fuse once I install it and burn it in.

Vhiner, at some point I would strongly suggest that you get some to the WA Quantum little fuse Chips to put on the center of the SR fuses. Also try the fuse both ways and use the best sounding direction.

SR claims their fuses are not directional but they are directional.
