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.

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.
Regards,
I'm a little late to the party but my experiences with HiFi tuning fuses in my previous gear (MBL preamp) yielded a noticeable improvement in clarity. I am very bummed out that my non of my current gear has any external fuses I can change.
Oh, found out the Accustic Arts Power 1 mkii integrated I just bought does have a replaceable fuse. Sweet. I will be picking up the Hif-Tuning Supreme and SR Quantum fuses to compare. I will report back in a few weeks.
Update,my friend reports that his AMR fuse for his Rega Elicit amp was the last tweak he feels that he needs to do.

He has been satisfied with his sound many times over the years, and that usually lasts for a few weeks, so if he keeps his system intact, then I would say the AMR or other upgrade fuse maybe the place to start and end in this hobby for some people.

I would suggest that anyone who is starting to tire of the sound of their system, or is looking for a change, that a $20.00 investment in an AMR fuse is the place to start.

If you are still disatisfied, then start on the buy/sell wagon and good luck.
