The secret to a great amplifier...

Is a $150 Orange fuse from Synergistic Research. Seriously, extreme boost in sonic performance. Blacker background, larger soundstage... if I wanted to make some bucks, I’d put these is cheap OEM compnents and start letting the accolades and purchasers come calling.

Mind you, I have a high value-oriented $20k system, so it was nice before, but damn!

A Eaton Bussmann 10A/250V fast acting fuse typical dc resistance =0.008Ω and a typical power relay contact resistance = 0.1Ω !

A 20-30VA transformer that would be common in sources, and some pre-amps, etc. will have a DC resistance of 25-150 ohms.

A 1000VA transformer, perhaps 1 ohm.

Hey, doubters... You caught me! Just making up a thread about a fuse for laughs. Silly disingenuous me! Ha ha! OK, back to the lab where I make up audio claims. Wait til you see what I've got tomorrow about contact enhancers!  Can't fool you guys!

Peal the sticker of your orange, blue, black and other "audiophile" SR fuse, then check on Amazon what you have just purchased and how much it costs on Amazon. However, if you have paid your "audiophile" fuse 250 USD, maybe you should avoid this fact-checking. You’ll sleep better.
