Aftermarket Fuses

@audiolabyrinth 

What state of the art cable's have you tried? do you own any  state of the art cable's?

Not sure, I have owned multiple cables retailing for over $1K each and some over $2K. There are always more expensive cables - who is the judge that defines "state of the art" or do you simply mean "most expensive?" 

do you own any of the boutique fuses mentioned on this thread?

I have HiFi Tuning regular, supreme and silverstar, SR Red, and Furutech fuses here.

Have you owned boutique receptacle's such as furutech NCF rhodium duplexes?

Currently using Acme silver-plated, Porter  Ports, and Furutech GTX.

Have you ever owned State of the art power cord's?

Multiple cords by Furutech and Neotech and I also currently own an Isoclean Auto Focus cord. 

Etc.....  here is a statement,  what if I told you I never heard a component that was a more substantial sound improvement than my cable's?,  you see, I own State of the art etc.. such as mentioned on this post, it is really silly at best or bluntly put, ignorant to nay say anything unless you own it, or have owned it over substantial period of time.

That is why I try to speak to only items I have owned and what I heard from them in my system.

What is your point???

Apply contact enhancer to each end of the fuse and insert back into the fuse holder. 

And for cradle type fuse holders, you can take a small orthodontic rubber band and wrap around the top of the holder at each end to apply a little pressure to the contacts.  You can also wrap a piece of Teflon tape around the glass body to dampen ringing.

Anybody here have an opinion on "Create Audio Deluxe" fuses? They are much less expensive than SR fuses. Just wondering how they compare or if anyone has actually tried them. Note that I'm just using standard (littlefuse) fuses now. 

It's a fuse, and if it is functioning as designed, to protect the component, it will have zero impact on the tonality or performance of any audio component, regardless of what people think they hear in "premium" fuses. Standard Littelfuse products are all you need, the rest are simply a scam to sell you things. You're welcome.
