QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS

Thanks David,

As an audiophile, I'm interested in the fuses.  In retrospect, I could have made this a bit more clear. 

The fuse argument is much like the power cord argument.  People contend that inexpensive wire is in your walls, so why would the last 6 feet matter, and yet most people reading this will agree that it does.

As a manufacturer, an owners' manual is of course a legal document which is why we find those silly opening instructions - don't stand in a bathtub full of water while operating, etc.

I like the idea of furnishing a solid design with good parts, while leaving a bit of untapped potential for the end user to discover (better tubes, and fuses).

Regards,
Thom @ Galibier

Thom and Bdp24, thanks for providing those inputs and perspectives.  For those who may be interested in the meaning of "breaking capacity," also known as "interrupting rating," those terms are defined on pages 6 and 7 (pdf pages 10 and 11) of the following Littelfuse document:

Just curious, does LITTELFUSE also have a PDF file that discusses the directionality of fuses or wire generally?  Maybe they just haven’t caught up to the aftermarket guys. Wire directionality is an important ingredient of fuses as we have seen. Is it possible high end audio is ahead of mainstream companies? Like with the Grapheme and the quantum dots.
