fuse damage

Roger Modjeski of Music Reference and RAM Labs received one of his excellent RM-9 Mk.II amplifiers for repair. The owner had installed in it eight Tuning Fuses, and they had failed to perform the main task of a fuse, resulting in damage to the amplifier. Roger inspected the fuse, and to his utter amazement discovered that it does not possess "high-breaking" construction, absolutely essential in a fuse installed in a power amplifier. In his contact with a Tuning Fuse principle, Roger became aware of the fact that the man was unfamiliar with the concept of the high-breaking characteristic of fuse design and construction. Read Roger's discussion of the fuses in the Audiocircle Music Reference Forum, in the "Tuning Fuses" thread, and install a Tuning Fuse in an amp at your own risk!  

Yes...not very encouraging to hear that...but thats the aspect i was interesed to...just from the technical point of view...every fuse will give this or that  sound signature (as any component change inside amp) but does every manufacturer do his job by the standard...according to bdp24 post obviously not...thanx you guys on your responses...im sure there will be more "victims"...actually "tuning fuses" where on my list to tryout so this info is very valuable to me and im sure to a lots of folks...i hope that Red Synergistic Fuse, Audio magic beeswax super fuse and Furutech fuse dont make trouble cuz there on my shortlist too...

That's actually second hand information.  The witness is not here to cross examine.

Geoffkait youre right that is second hand information (i asked for first hand) but dosent mean that is a lie...maybe someone from here knows someone who isnt on this forum but had a bad luck with that case...if someone is lowlife and lies about it...well shame on him and hope he gets debunked...but you got a point...it would be nice to share some evidence if possible...

I'm not accusing anyone of lying.  You cannot find out what really happened unless you do some digging.  It could be for example that the amp owner installed a wrong value fuse in one or more locations.  It wouldn't be the first time.  There is also the possibility that the manufacturer has it in for aftermarket fuses.  Difficult to say without actually well, being there. It's a lot of who shot John at this point.
