Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Discussion of the use of circuit breakers in audio components can be found in the following threads. The bottom line would seem to be that it may be suitable and beneficial to use some breakers in some applications but not in others, with breaking time being one of several significant considerations: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/anyone-replaced-fuse-with-circuit-breaker https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/by-pass-fuse-and-add-a-circuit-breaker Also, use of a circuit breaker in a DC rail application may be problematical in many cases in terms of where it is located and how it is wired to, with the possibility of noise coupling to or from that wiring having to be addressed. Finally, I would imagine that in many cases a factor is that designers tend to go with approaches they have used previously, and are familiar with, and do not require significant time for evaluation and experimentation in return for sonic benefits that may or may not occur.

That would be interesting. Tried google search and came up empty. One benefit would be anything done differently is a unique feature and helps differentiate one product or product line from another. Also I’m sure not all breakers are created equal just like fuses however I would expect a good quality breaker circuit to be inherently more costly to implement than most fuses. |
