McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound


Have anyone change out the fuse in the back of a McIntosh integrate amp to make it sound better? Does this work or is this a myth? And if it does what kind of fuse? Thx

Consciousness can be a real b!tch. Subjectivity is not objectivity. Your eyes and your ears can deceive you, especially if you want them to-- and when you invest time and money, most do want them to. Audio2design is probably right though. Cleaning dirty fuse connections and putting in a new fuse might make a difference. I'd bet he's right when he says his friends can't tell when put to the test. Your own ears can improve your system even if the fuse cannot. Imagine the possibilities?? And no money down!

Okay so, about fuse upgrades.

I have a HARD time believing in them. Setting aside the physics involved and the fact that they sit on the outside of the power supply, I noticed that they are heavily marketed by Synergistic Research -- which is a scam company. Why don't any large, reputable manufacturers produce fuses? Why doesn't, say, Furutech or Oyaide make them? That smells of scam.

The other problem is...how do you test this without audio memory effects getting in the way? How many people have two identical amps they can test side-by-side in a reasonable fashion? The improvement would have be very large to overcome audio memory IMO. Will a fuse really provide such a major improvement?

It just seems like a con to me.
To whom it may concern:
I trust what I hear. I do not have to "prove"anything to anybody, about anything.
Several of you embark.on a mission to prove a negative.
Good luck with that..
how do you "prove" what someone did or not hear??
Than you call someone else arrogant?
wtf????, get real.
Your results may vary..that does not trump; my experience.
It only makes me believe, I am dealing with some kinda dolt.
You hit the nail on the head: arrogance. Rude, presumptive, ignorant and stubborn arrogance. Each adjective carefully chosen for accuracy. Rude: they butt in where no one wants to hear their blather yet again. Presumptive, they presume to tell us what we hear. Arrogant, what could be more arrogant than to tell another individual that YOU know what THEY can do. Ignorant, because virtually every single time they haven't tried and so literally do not know what they're talking about. And stubborn, because they keep at it no matter how many times or how clearly its explained they are full of it.  

You can see I've been around and have seen it replay over and over again like Groundhog Day without the humor. They just die over and over again, only never ever do they learn anything, and in the end they for sure don't get the girl. I just thought it worth pointing out that even a new guy with 7 posts can see clearly just what is wrong with them. Why they can't see it, that is the question.
