How do you repair a fuse? Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just replace it.
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!!!

Even the repair department is cashing up on this snake oil hysteria. Next they'll be charging extra for special vacuum sealed postage, so you know your getting them fresh. Cheers George |
Back when I was a dealer for the original $16 Intelligent Chip, which was good for only 10 treatments before it ran out of steam, I offered a recharging fee of $25. Was that wrong? 😳 Not to beat a dead horse, all the angst and anger regarding the Audio Horizons fuses could have been avoided by staying within the 30 day guarantee period. Problem solved. |
