I switched out the standard cheap fuse and steel plate jumpers from my Magnepan 1.7i speakers for the Mike Powell silver jumpers and the silver tubes in lieu of fuses and have heard obvious improvements in SQ from lows to highs. I did careful before and after comparisons and took notes using the same playlists in an effort to fight conformation or expectation bias. So I think in at least some instances switching out fuses can make a change in SQ.
To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!
Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?
One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?
I gots to know!

ibmjunkman Not questioning the fuse maker who says their fuses are directional. Questioning their use in an AC circuit which is bi-directional. >>>>Let’s try to keep sexual orientation out of this. |
captaindidactic “I have just started playing my system with 16 new ceramic fuses and so far it sounded better before.” >>>>>Hey, Capt, since all fuses are directional and all fuses require breaking in it will be somewhat of a challenge to get all 16 fuses in the correct direction. Better put on your Mr. Spock ears. 🤡 |
