Mapman, yes I suppose I have a gift for word. You have a lot of posts, though, so you shouldn't feel too bad. I’m more into quality over quantity, myself. No offense intended. Let the twitching commence!
Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.
There are 4 fuses in my Odyssey Stratos amp. I recently returned some AMR fuses because they rolled off the highs and lows a little too much for me. Mids were excellent though. Anyway, I'm getting ready to try the Hi-Fi Tuning Classic Gold fuses, as they are on clearance now for $10/ea. Are they any good? However, I have read that they are a directional fuse? Can anyone confirm this? If that is the case, does anyone know the current flow for the Odyssey Stratos? Or, does anyone know how figure out current flow by opening up the top and looking at the circuitry?

I don't know if its this thread or the three fingers of the single barrel bourbon I've had tonight, but I'm laughing my a$$ off at this point. Al ... I bought new wiper blades from the dealer for my Lexus LS ... and they suck. However, when I recently changed the worn Goodyear Eagles put on by the previous owner for a new set of Michelin Premiers it was like going from a noisy clumpy ride to gliding on velvet. I don't have a clue about tire technology ... but I know what I hear and feel in my car. And by the way, with the new quiet ride, the Mark Levinson sound system has much better highs and mids. Too bad it doesn't have a fuse that can be changed out for an SR Black fuse ... or does it? Hmmm ... Ralph ... As we know, not everyone hears the same and/or makes honest assessments of audio gear. As good as your electronics are ... and in my opinion, fantastic, a bad review can be devastating to a small manufacturer. We both know a certain reviewer who did a little tube rolling in one of your gorgeous sounding pre-amps before he wrote his review and didn't like the sound. He then proceeded to write a negative review based on the sound he got from other than stock tubes provided by the factory. Enough said there. My assessment of the review was that the guy must have been STONED. :-) Georgelofi ... "This is just a shill fest..." Obviously you've tried the SR Black fuses in your own system in order to come up with such an assessment, right? Surely you wouldn't intimate that there is some kind of dishonesty going on here unless you've actually tried the fuses for yourself. Why of course not ... Only a complete ass would do something like that. Over and out ... |
If you guys just had a minuscule amount of AC theory, you would understand the voodoo in this BS of fuse reversal, and whatever else is being shilled here on them. https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1319829 Cheers George |
I'll be the first to admit that I don't have near the knowledge ( practical or theoretical) than most here, but I just can't seem to hear any difference between stock or audiophile fuses ( regardless of direction). I'm not knocking those that do, more power to you......they can enjoyed their perceived improved sound and I'll enjoy saving all that money :) IMO most tweaks haven't provided any improved sonics for me and have found that quality components, system synergy and speaker placement go much further in obtaining good sound........but these many "reasonably" priced tweaks are oh so tempting. " You mean I can transform my systems sound for a mere few hundred dollars?". It used to be too tempting for me to pass up, but not anymore. Marketers are great at exploiting our obsession with obtaining audio nirvana. A good glass of Scotch or a martini is all the tweaking I need to take my music listening to the next level ;) |
