Replacement Fuses

I tried a $40 Furatech rhodium fuse but didn't like it.
Wrapping a few turns of masking tape around the glass part only - no touchy end caps - brought definite improvements. Blacker background and more stable 3D image for free.

A tube arcing issue with one of my NOS mercury vapor 82 tubes blew both a stock as well as one of my SR Blue fuses.

Just replaced the fuses in each amp with SR Orange. I'll report back once break in is behind me.

I now have 14 days on the SR Orange fuses in my amps. The Orange version is an easy recommendation for me to make over the Blue Fuses they replaced, which are good in their own right.

If you would like additional details, PM me.

I’ll post a short writeup on my audio blog when I’m feeling up to it. Health issues have been interfering.
