LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality


After doing some research I found  Littlefuse sells  AUDIO/MEDICAL quality fuses  Series 285 
they are all slo-blow, buy come in various sizes including  5x20 

With the cost being less than $10, has anybody tried these over $100 "Audiophile" brands?

difference is delusional and also think that tooth fairy, unicorns, traction beams and pixie dust are also real"

Pixie dust is great!!

More seriously, guys, everything matters including fuses. 

In my life I have moved from basic fuses to early audiophile fuses to Synergistic Research black, to SR blue, to last week, SR orange.

I got good results from every move. 

But finally the move to orange last week, straight out of the box was transformational in my system which is pretty basic in its components.  Now, 4 days later, I would say it's among the top 5 bang for the buck upgrades in my system over the last 50 years.  And it's still getting better every day. 

All SR products are available on a 30 day return policy (I think?). 

So you naysayers, you scoffers, you who decry anything which can't be explained by current science, this is your chance to open your minds.....mind you, don't be too open minded - your brains might fall out.




Cakyol -

So reviewers like Michael Fremer are delusional and/or very gullible?

Perhaps you never tried quality audio cables or have a system that is not transparent enough to hear a difference... etc

There are more cables than ohms law and shielding - The removal of the noise is more than shielding it is the removal of distortion.  Capacitance, inductance all play a role in audio quality.    Its Litz wire all delusional?

From the person who said this:
Plus, silver oxidizes/tarnishes very quickly where exposed to air and may create contact issues in time.
There's this:
Silver and copper are both easily oxidized. The reason that silver and silver alloys are used for electrical contacts is because silver oxide is just as conductive as silver metal. Copper on the other hand has a non-conductive oxide and so it is typically not used for contacts unless there is some pretty heavy wiping occurring, i.e. the surfaces are scraped in the process of making a connection to cut through the oxide layer.
Draw your own conclusions.

All the best,
Nonoise

Why is it the fusers with hardly any posting history on something really meaningful in audio, are the most prolific posters when it comes to "snake oil" fuses.
