SR Blue Fuses

I just wanted to share my excitement with my SR Blue Fuses. I installed 3 in my Anthem I225. Its been probably 100 hours of burn in time now and I really am beside myself in the difference. The bass is really full, my highs are nicely extended and my soundstage is huge. Just today, my soundstage became ridiculous.
If you are happy with your current amplifier / preamplifier and intend on keeping it for awhile I highly recommend replacing the fuses with SR Blue fuses, if not the Orange fuses. I got my Blues for 30% off. It is quite possibly the best tweak I have done aside from room treatments.

It takes awhile to burn the fuses in but once they are, it’s pretty awesome the difference they make. I was pretty skeptical about this mod and thought it was a lot to spend but now that I have, it was the best $400 mod I have done. It made more of a difference than my upgraded power cords and actually probably made a more of a difference than going from my signal cable silver res speaker cables to my ap solo crystals.

Highly recommended if you already love your amp/preamp and intend to keep them for awhile!

All good quality industry standard fuses that won’t cost you more than a buck or two. Not like the >$150 the boutique SR snake oil fuses do for the same thing.  
Yes there a couple of $5-$14 special "cartridge" size instrument fuses, which are not your normal sizes of hifi fuses.

Those fuses are not going for a buck or two and are way more than the $.50 ones you rant about. They aren't even made of the same material, being of a higher quality as well. The very ones on that page show it to be the case and not how you portray it. 

All the best,

50c or $1 or $2 it’s a metaphor sunshine, they all do the same job, and is a massive difference compared to $160 for an SR Orange which does the same job, only the gullible think otherwise.
Give it a rest, or "you’ll blow a poofel valve"😬

What part of the term "Alternating Current" do most directional fuse people people not understand?  Yes, replacing fuses chip away at the corrosion on the terminals, no matter what you replace them with..
