Hey, whatever, guys. Looks like this fuse stuff is for high enders only. Good luck with whatever. It appears somebody’s following the wrong sheep.

Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...
I’ve bought 5 Audio Horizons Platinum fuses a couple of months ago, for my amps, speakers and DAC.
Three days ago, coincidentially, the 5A fuses on my mono amps (Rogue Apollos), blew at the same time on start up. Replaced them with the OEM fuses, and everything works again.
I have a very good electrical installation, with independent lines for each amp, a no surges or anything strange occurred. My speakers, Evolution Acoustics MM3s are always ON, and nothing happened to the fuses on them.
I emailed Joseph Chow inmediately and his response was to send the fuses back to him (at my cost, I live in Ecuador...), to repair them for $70/each, plus shipping.
I have paid $138 for each fuse in October, and no warranty?... what a shame!!!
Won’t buy these fuses again, NEVER!!!

Just stay away from the fuse snake oil, it’s all BS just to get your dollars.@georgehifi While I’m inclined to agree with you completely, I’m curious as to your opinion as to why so many folks (on this forum and others, such as very recent postings on head-fi where the Yggy fuse is concerned) claim to *hear* an improvement when switching from a manufacturer supplied fuse to a boutique aftermarket fuse. |
purport to *hear* an improvement when switching from a manufacturer supplied fuse to a boutique aftermarket fuse.Simple answer to that one, "they don't". If you know your ac/mains theory, it's just not possible. What they do hear is "expectation bias" waiting for it to arrive after spending $130 on a $2 fuse. Or their replacing an old fuse that's had too many turn on surges over time and carbonising and getting ready to blow like this pic below. There's no way they could reliably pick the difference in a blind A/B. https://i.stack.imgur.com/0uqWX.jpg Cheers George |
Go back through the fuse threads and you'll see that this argument has already been shot down. Properly made fuses should show no signs of wear unless they are cheaply made. All they have to do is blow when required. Now imagine the silliness of an argument that purports that hundreds, if not thousands of people succumb to expectation bias when it comes to fuses. Now attribute that silliness to the people who bring it up over and over again. All the best, Nonoise |
