Fuses that matter.

Tbg,

In general, I do not advocate people open up their expensive gear and make a tweak in the interest of better sound unless they really know what they are doing. Accidents happen, and there are many other much less risky ways to tweak for better sound. In some cases, vendors might even void a warranty if the device is opened up by anyone not authorized.

For someone who truly knows what they are doing, more power to 'ya!

Mapman, I know your concerns but most components have externally accessible fuses.

Thanks for the words of caution. Crap, I already had my Oppo modded! Please don't rat me out to Oppo. Lol

Just a short update.
A couple of my friends reported back that they are satisfied with the AMR fuses that they purchased.

The fellow with the Maggies noticed an improvemnt,just waiting for another update about how an AMR fuse does with his Rega amp.

A year ago, I wouldn't have been able to give them one for free to try in their gear for fear of some mishap.

I see some are still hesitant to try them,but the ones that can be replaced in the IEC power inlets most gear have doesn't require a degree in EE.

I can also state that a .5 amp fuse will blow if placed where a 5 amp fuse is supposed to be.

Lesson, always check the fine print on the fuse,now I use a magnefying glass.

I guess all the reviewers who show the innards of the gear they are reviewing have voided the warranties?

I'm curious,how about some references to the less risky tweaks?

I'm always open to investigate new ways to get better sound.
The upgraded fuses have been simple to install and not very costly(AMR-$20.00) and I've had no issues.

After all the more costly upgrades and tweaks I've used, I'd say they are a bargain.They do more for less than the other things I've tried.

So fill me in.

"They do more for less than any other tweak I've tried"
Lacee that's my conclusion also after using the Synergistic Research Quantum fuses .
They provided a very noticeable improvement. As long as one observes the proper fuse value markings and the slo -fast blow distinction there's much upside potential with little cost and minimal risk.
