I realize I’ve posted some of these before somewhere along the line but maybe it’s good to post them again. We’ll see. 😬 Without further ado here are some suggestions for further improving any newfangled high end fuse. Or any stock fuse.
1. Cryogenically treat the fuse. The cryo lab (if he’s a nice guy) will cryo it free.
2. Alternative to cryoing - Freeze the fuse in the home freezer, 2-4 Days recommended, let thaw in main refrigerator section for 4 hours.
3. Apply contact enhancer to end caps. If you already have established correct fuse direction be sure to maintain correct orientation.
4. Alternative to contact enhancer: paint both encapsulated with permanent violet/purple marker.
5. Wedge a thin slice of natural cork under the fuse holder as counter vibration measure.
6. Make a “tent” out of mu metal and cover fuse and fuse holder. Since mu metal is VERY CONDUCTIVE cover both sides and all edges of the mu metal with adhesive paper or vinyl.
7. Apply WA Quantum Chip for Fuse to the body of the fuse. WA Quantum Chips are still available from distributors such as VH Audio. WA Quantum Chips come in various flavors for capacitors, inductors/transducers, speakers, breaker box, cables, etc.
8. It goes without saying the fuse, even if it’s a stock fuse, will sound significantly better in one direction than the other.
