McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound

danvignau

Pull out your old fuses and put them back in. Try it again. Each time a bit of corrosion is removed. Even better, let someone else change your fuses around several times. buy a bunch of different ones. Number them and keep a score card, but do not look at which ones you are using. Special Fuse Buffs: I dare you!

It’s rather juvenile to "dare" people.

Given that you’ve made the "dare" I can’t help but ask: Have you tried this yourself? If so, what were the results?

Or it means you are susceptible to self suggestion. Have someone else make the change .... Oh and yes I have with many audiophile buddies. They can only tell a difference when they know the change.

Can you hear a change in sound? You can? That's great it means your system is sufficiently resolving and would respond to a better fuse.

Is fuse directionality audibly discernible as well ?

Some i****s or (shills) will have you believe they can hear directional differences in an AC mains fuse, even though ac 60hz mains changes it direction 180 degrees 60 times a second, I let you digest that one.

It most certainly is.

I knew that swapping out bog standard fuses for better made ones made a difference but it wasn't until a year and a half after changing fuses and out of boredom, that I tried changing directions only to discover that it does make a difference. 

In my short fuse journey It tried it with various, mid level priced fuses and the results were all the same: it made a difference. 

All the best,
