George,
Those don't look like audiophile fuses at all. What on earth would I do with them?

Something For The Fuse Guys ...
There are fuses, and then, there are fuses.
I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago.
Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue.
The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs.
The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October.
Stay tuned ...
Frank

".....read the post carefully, and you’ll understand the point being made."("Cheers", indeed) Excellent advice! Someone seems to have some some serious problems with comprehension. Not only about whether I said the amps come with the fancy fuses installed, but- where I said I opened one up("innards were exposed"). To recap: "Had a pair of Odyssey amps, IN HOUSE, FOR AUDITION. Opened one up(with permission), to look at and test a couple things. Found Hi-Fi Tuning Gold fuses(it’s been a while) in the rails. Never looked at the AC main fuse. HE’D JUST USED the amps for demos, AT A TRADE SHOW. Can’t say if he sells his amps, with them installed." (Emphasis added, for the comprehensively challenged) Just another one of those special moments, on this tragicomical AudiogoN site. Now: back to your regular programming. |
Can’t say if he sells his amps, with them installed.Just Google Odyssey images, and like I said they ( 4x) are next to the red coils on the pcb’s, and they are just Plain Jane 2ag and or 3ag for other models, here’s a pic they are circled in red all 20c glass fuses.. https://ibb.co/vjLRc6j https://ibb.co/1qnyQzS https://ibb.co/9cFqc2K |
Short memory, too:

Found Hi-Fi Are you trying to say Odyssey come new with Gold tuning fuses? If you look at all the Odyssey amps (Google images of internal shots) and there quite a few. You will see they all from what I saw, just have 20c normal 3ag or 2ag rail fuses in them, on the board right next to the speaker RF filter coil Wait a minute! maybe all the owners of those amps, threw out the "Gold Tuning Fuses" and put in the 20c ones instead because they were better!🤔 |
