Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7?
Hey everyone,
I recently acquired some Magnepan 3.7 speakers and wanted to start tweaking them, so I ordered some Mundorf M-Resist Supreme 1.0 ohm Resistors for $23 each, but I can't seem to find any hifi fuses that are reasonable priced. Seems like hifi fuses start around $100 each, I need 4 fuses, and I don't want to spend $400 on a whim. Can anyone recommend some fuse upgrades that are reasonably priced, maybe around $20 each?
Looks like I need two 2.5A fuses and two 5A fuses, large size. I'd prefer not to bypass the fuses, so let's not get into that debate here... =)
Thanks!
Chris

Try Brimar Audio fuses. They are $35 apiece and are very transparent to the sound. All the best, Nonoise |
Before replacing the fuse, remove the metal rear panel and test all the parts on it’s back with a magnet. You will be surprised to find that Magnepan uses ferrous (steel!) parts. I found steel parts in both the fuse holder and the Magnepan speaker hook-up connectors. That imo is a much bigger deal than the fuse itself. I disconnected the fuse holder---bypassing it, and replaced the Magnepan connectors with Cardas binding posts, which fit into the stock holes without modification. Maggie old-timers have done both for many years. |
