After well over 40 years of using a McIntosh 2105 with regular fuses, and then a boutique fuse, I went all the way and replaced it with a piece of high purity silver wire. Stupid? Probably. But it's been there for 10 years with no issues.
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!

ieales, I am guessing no easy answer to how long does burn in nirvana takes. In my quest to upgrade my NAD stuff, I took all three units in and had my guy replace all the caps, wires and whatever else he could to upgrade the units. $850 in parts. I was deeply depressed when I got it all back. All the warmth and richness was gone. It sounded horrid. I ran it 24/7 for a few weeks with all sorts of music plus the Effacious CD. Finally, it started to sound musical again... and then better than before. Most of these tweaks, Do make a difference. But one has to enjoy the journey. |
ieales At what (BurnIn / BurnOut) is nirvana attained? >>>>I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. 🤡 |
