Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21

Fuses are not in any signal path except in the broadest sense that many of the electrons used by an amp can somehow become signal…sort of…One of the most telling aspects of the premium fuse charade promoted by, as an example, the athletic SR fuse salesmen in the main SR thread, is an utter lack of understanding of or desire for any sort of reasonable technical explanation of how or why these "special" (and relatively expensive) fuses work their magic. I asked once, and was told to call SR as why should these SR Super Fans do the "heavy lifting" for me?…they simply have no idea beyond referring to the Quantum Tunneling or high voltage exposure or other nonsense used in SR promotion baloney. I smell fraud all over this stuff, and any other inexplicable techno tweak like tiny aluminum "transducers" (some know what "transducer’ actually means), and have tested the efficacy of Special fuses and found them to be a silly waste of money. The astonishing imagined benefits of pricey fuses is simply one of those head scratchers to people who are in the amp design business, and any of them I’ve asked about this stuff simply say something like hey, fooling people into thinking what they paid through the nose for is worth it if enough others claim it to be so is all some people need.

not true. Fuses can be in the signal path and often are. Electrons are not signal anywhere at any time.

not true. There are many reasons why aftermarket fuses work their magic.

Off the top of my head I'd say your system is not what you claim it to be or your hearing isn't what you're claiming it takes me. You know, given that thousands of audiophiles have good luck with aftermarket fuses.

Not true. Not all aftermarket fuses are expensive. The word expensive itself is open to interpretation.

geoffkait you are just a voodoo’ist, as is most of the stuff on your website.

Real techs above are trying to tell you something, in a nice way, just incase you have something wrong upstairs.

Hey! Whoa!  Somebody needs to have his Huggies changed.

@indranilsen - Let us know the results.  It's good that you're trying one fuse.  Every audiophile fuse has their own sonic character.  The Hi-Fi Tuning fuses use silver and gold in their fuse elements and end-caps (in different variations/combinations).  This introduces the character of both silver (forces waveforms to be faster) and gold (gives somewhat of a warmth - can be interpreted as warm glare).  If you end up liking this character, then feel free to buy more Hi-Fi Tuning and add them into your amp.  If you don't like this character, then you've only bought one fuse.
