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 rarely promote my products here, fellas. I do on occasion promote my ideas, however. See the difference? 👀 I leave it to Georgie Boy and moopman to do my product promotion for me. Thanks, guys!


Yes I see it clearly.  Very sneaky!!!!!

Don’t worry, moops, there’s something in it for you. 🙄 Keep up the good work!
you'd think for the money some of these fuses cost they could design a really good breaker so if something does go bad your not out the fuse just reset it (fix the issues of course) and go. seriously there are many small form breakers out there (hell look at the aircraft industry for example) so why not make a mini breaker that is Audiophile quality, buy once forget. I'd convert my fuse holder to a breaker in a min if it was better sounding and resettable. 

 $200-$500 fuses seem ridiculous for the money for what you get IMO. not talking about sound quality here just what you physically get for the money seems small IMO. No pun intended. kind of like cartridges oh oh opened a can a worms there sorry. not really ;-)

Or get appropriate safety testing done .... assuming it was not already when it was called something else.

Getting back to reality for just a moment, aftermarket fuses are not $200-$500. Cut me some slack, Jack. One or two are $200 + The new Orange fuse is $150, almost all the rest are around $20-$50. Check it out, Bubba! If you want to be an audiophile on the cheap just flip your Littelfuse around.Â
