Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Dear @almarg @oregonpapa @nonoise and friends: Even with fuses internal circuit problems can occur and the item could be not protected against it.

My phonolinepream and amp monobloks have internally other fuses at power supply that I don’t touched.

What I did it is to hardwire with the silver Kimber Kable from the regulators directly to the input power supply on each item by-passing too the item input connectors.

I already have this kind of set up for over two years now with no failure at all and I think it will stay that way.

I had more than 40 years in audio and in all those years I never had a problem with internal shor circuit or something similar. The times that a fuse bow-up were for different reasons.

Can I have a problem in the future?, who knows but the rewards are so formidable/outstanding that is worth to take that " non-probable " risk. No fuses can gives that kind of paramount quality levels differences.

@oregonpapa you tested in that ARC that’s a more " sensitive " item to problems than my Levinson monobloks and you never had a problem.

Of course that’s up to each one of us doing what I did.
It’s so amazing that I just can’t come back to fuses, any one. Yes, my risk and is welcomed ! !

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Btw, I can´t remember if was on this thread where through a link I read what D.Berning found out with his experiences with high end fuses. Self experiences and from his customers whom sended to him their electronics ( Berning amps. ) to fix it and where he found out that what damged his amps was the high end fuses that does not acomplish the electrical standards. He said in that forum that is a real risk to use high end fuses.

Unfortunatelly I don't have that link but maybe some one can remember it and share with us.

@rauliruegas Thank you for sharing your experiences. Fuses will always be a contentious subject until someone can demonstrate to those who don't believe that they do make a difference. 

One would think by now that all here are on the cutting edge. In fact, we represent mainstream thinking, at best but at least we're heading in the right direction. 😀👉

On another note, I found at another site a discussion on fuses and Lloyd Walker (the Lloyd who makes the Proscenium turntable) recommends that people try aftermarket fuses and try both directions to ensure proper rotational speed in his drive motor. The point is, one can find highly valued perspectives on both sides of this equation and point to them that they support their point of view, so it all boils down to what you hear.

All the best,
Nonoise

Could be that it may take a full 8wks for the paint to cure. There are climate active paints..so why not an acoustic paint.. his patent says there is...without a formula..You could mix your own if there is any basis for that type of coating. The Enabl paint patterns work on speaker fronts and with more calculation they should work on walls. Has nothing to do with P waves.  Tom

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  Whoa!

Yeah man…a paint infused with discarded lamb fuzz or recycled sponges. Basis SCHMASIS!
