I know several Pass equipment owners who will not go back to using a standard fuse, based on listening, not on measurements.
Quick and free fuse tweak
I read about this once but tonight I tried it and was very impressed with the result. More pling from piano, more thwak from slapped acoustic bass, increased detail and space around performers.
Wrap a short piece of cream-colored masking tape once around the glass portion of a regular AC power fuse making sure not to touch the metal caps. I left a millimeter gap.

Hell9 here is the facts just look at steel the Buzz fuse conductor vs Silver or Copper ,steel has 6X the resistance a Huge bottleneck .not only audible give the fuse 75 hours to fully settle in but for sure measurable. the facts are in the details . My self and others in our Audio group did blind testing several times and when the majority of fuses were replaced ,play x amount of songs ,then stock fuses ,the 4-6 listeners picked the high end fuses Every time . https://www.tibtech.com/conductivite.php?lang=en_US |
Ya know, the little damping dots by Marigo and Machina Dynamica, and the damping sheets by ASC (Wall Damp) and EAR (IsoDamp), may provide even better damping of the glass tube of fuses than does masking tape. Then there is the Synergistic Research PHT, for those who are willing to spend $99 to damp a fuse. |
