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!

I am also a music lover first with music playing at least 10 hours daily in our home! We attend many concerts and love searching for new artists we enjoy. All good.

  • "Oregonpapa, in all your well-meaning literature, I wonder if you have separated more audiophiles from their hard-earned than any other individual on this site, they seem to think it was worth it."

Yes, they definitely seem to think it was worth it. I hear from them all the time via PM ... and you can read their many comments here on this site.

Sharing pertinent information with other hobbyists so they can improve their systems beyond what they thought possible is a fun thing to do.

By the way, the word through the grapevine is that over 1000 SR Orange fuses were sold within three days of their announcement. I'm sure its many more by this date. That's a lot of happy campers. :-)

  • "How many times have I seen you say this, from stock to black to blue to red to purple now orange, you must have the best sounding system in the world."

"The Best?" I have no way of knowing George, but in several ways, it is one of the best I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of systems in my time. Oh, and to my knowledge, there was never a "Purple" fuse. Did I miss something?

  • "Because there’s now a million Orange fuses to get rid of at rrp $150, cost price 20cent, nice profit if you can get it."

I know you're not from around these parts, George, but around here, profit is a good thing. It allows for more R&D, which in turn creates more great products. That is a definite benefit for the end-users, wouldn't you agree?

Profit creates more jobs and better lifestyles for all concerned. That holds true for every legitimate business. A definite benefit there too George. Surely you can't disagree with that, eh George?

By the way, George, if I remember correctly, you weren't feeling very well a year or so ago. I hope all is well with you now. 

Take care ...

All I can say is Yipes again?????
notice how very few if any pro electronics or physisitst even bother to comment on this site.
most if not all the sub critical aspects of electrons,holes,carriers etc will have NO yes-No intelligable effect on sound period. ive studied these things down to the electron hole pairs and quantom movement. if your amps and other circuits cant deal with correction than they are junk like a single mosfet  amp.
the power of psychoacoutsics are huge and contribute to all this hype and sales glitz. working on you guys. yea i did years of brain wave EEG measurement and effects on neuro triggers in the brain IE "hearing" "seeing"
same goes for those musicians that think a shiney trombone sounds different than a dull one.
someone should do a double blind test usinfg EEG waves and not the subjective opinion of the ear/mouth. LOL.   they will find nooo change.  only overall dopamine/serotonin standard distribution as per the DSM 4/5 2019.
yea rant off for now.
ps I currently have a Brain Plate after a crainomity and was flatlined 3 yrs ago and on regular analysis now. so pardon the typing and such. its medically caused.
