If you install a Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse in a DC circuit of your tube power amplifier, you may end up "burning in" your entire amp ;-) .
Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?
Hello,
I've gone through the Hi Fi Tuning line of fuses starting with their Silver and then on to the Classic Gold.
I recently purchased the the Supreme.
The Supreme does everything I hoped it would but as with anything in this crazy hobby, there's seems to be a trade-off.
I'm getting more clarity and air but the presentation seems to have an edge or sharpness to it.
If everything was just slightly more-should I say organic?-I'd be one happy man.
I have about 60 hours on them.
Will more time smooth things out?
The Gold's are definitely smoother but they lack the air and clarity the Supreme's provide.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

analogluvr727 posts12-01-2018 8:02am@geoffkait what is a bouquet fuse, is it made from flowers picked from far away lands with clouds of cotton candy and streams running with single malt whiskey? >>>>You can dream of Blue Bonnets, Angel Hair and Sweet William If it helps you. Why would I care? |
@rodman99999 , Roger Modjeski received one of his Music Reference RM-9 amplifiers back for repair. Every stock fuse in the amp had been replaced by the amp’s owner with a Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse. Roger checked out the amp, discovered what had happened, then did some research into the fuses. He wrote up his findings on his AudioCircle Music Reference Forum (that info is still viewable on the Forum), but basically it was that the HFTF is not properly designed or constructed so as to be able to provide protection to an amp employing fuses on it’s output tubes, and is in fact incapable of doing so. A phone call to the American distributor, and then the design engineer in whatever country the fuses are made (Germany, I believe), revealed to Roger that neither are very well versed in basic fuse technology and engineering in terms of their use in tube hi-fi amplifiers. Well worth searching the AudioCircle MR Forum for Roger’s full report, for those interested. |
