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!

  • Due to ROHS you don't see lead in fuses these days. You may find some still in military. Tin/Zinc alloys are used in time delays fuses primarily and I believe in some very small value fuses.

What effect, if any, do you think the use of graphene in fuses would be? In fact, in any audio applications at all such as cabling, power conditioning, etc.

The use of Graphene where in fuses? This dog has been been to death already. Be careful what you wish for.

OMG! A walking Wikipedia! 🚶🏻‍♂️ It should probably be mentioned at this point that Graphene is not used inside the fuse to prevent any unnecessary confusion. But don’t let that stop you.
