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!

Why would any self respecting audio EE in his or her right mind post a positive take on aftermarket fuses
Because they know it’s snake oil sunshine that’s why! And they sell their products to you guys and don’t want to loose any potential sales.
Especially it’s the way you guys go on about what they can do to the sound !! And then especially reversing them in an ac mains environment!! And then there’s the cost!!!!

Careful....
Never mind blowing a Poufel valve you are in danger of twisting your knurled sprocket flanger out of alignment and you KNOW what will occur if that happens....😉😉

When a reputable engineer asserts something, there is something concrete technically  to back it up. That is how engineers operate.

No reputable ones would hesitate if that were the case but when it comes to hifi fuses fact is the only thing to back up anything are marketing claims and individual opinions and everyone has one of those.

It has nothing to do with fear of clowns.

I’d say it’s much smaller than microscopic, it would be more like infinitely small!
