Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Why wouldn't an exhibitor at a trade show trick out the system a little bit? This is nothing new. The rooms are hard enough to get sounding right, so every little bit helps. I remember the first time I heard the ARC REF-75 with the KT150s installed. It was at an audio show. I already owned a REF-75 with the stock KT120s. The dealer at the show had replaced the stock tubes with th KT-150s, which I picked up on immediately upon entering the room. I asked the dealer what he did, and he pointed out the new tubes. No big deal. When I got home I called Upscale Audio and ordered four KT-150s for myself. Nice improvement to be had there. How can I get more of that stuff called ... "voodoo snake oil? Frank |
To all those thinking about blowing $150 on what seems to be a 20c fuse with exterior colorful "glitzing" The only way a fuse can give an improvement is if the old one has seen "too many turn on cycles" which are the highest stresses a fuse will see. And when they become too old and crusty, they end up looking like this. Just replace them only if your technically able, with the same new 20c fuse, and you’ll be back in business, forget blowing the $150 for a voodoo boutique fuse, which BTW will age just as fast as the 20c one.
