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.

Budburma, wow that is way too much testing for me. But I must say that I'm not surprised that you would hear such differences. I must say that once I decided that I liked the SR fuses, I did hear that on some components they made more of a difference.

Budburma,
I don't have nor have I heard the AMR fuse. I've only used the SR Quantum and they impressed me. So the SR Red fuse has my interest, if it's better than the quantum that's noteworthy.

I've found that the SR are directional but I'm enjoying the AH fuses which are the best I've tried so far; The Reds are on my shortlist...

I suppose you're right Tbg...although now I want to order a set of the SR Reds! The Plinius requires 4 rail fuses and a mains. The rail fuses made much more of a difference than the mains....and, most manufacturers even recommend turning them around to find the right orientation! That's a serious number of combinations already. Then if you start mixing and matching fuse types....YIPES! Brain damage...

"And every day the paper boy brings more."

It's definitely not a trivial time or monetary investment and likely hard to resell the other fuses. I have never actually tried, but with all the values and two different sizes it's hard to imagine matching them up with other loonie's tunes.

Thankyou Rodman99999, I will input the SR quantum Reds in my amplifier,I will be absolute as to what, fast blow or slow blow, I am thinking fast blow, I will listen to krell as to what this amp has to have, As I am going to make my modded krell 700cx one of a kind to my likeing, I have already got different total capacitors in this amp, I expected a subtle difference there, I was corrected to having a substantial difference with sound quality, most notably, the resolutution is unlike any krell I have ever owned before, let's put it this way, with the incredible air and 3-dimensional sound I am getting on this resolution, I would be purly impressed to find the SR Red fuses to improve upon that, oh yeah, I am batting for the REDs, bring it!
