Ceramic fuses

So George, if one of your customers came in with Cary 805 Es and said upgrade the wiring, replace the coupling and decoupling caps, check and replace parts as needed Cary, calls it a sonic UPGRADE.

Your barking up the wrong fuser tree sunshine. (starting to get a whiff of fish??)

Sure better spec’d caps will make a difference, (and it’s not the lead out wires from the caps). Also the heat inside those things will dry out caps real quick.


And yes they definitely could put in new $1 Bussman or Little fuses, as the old fuses would have seen some "massive turn on surges" and their holders, (re-below) with those 805 heaters filaments asking as much turn on current as one of Krell’s biggest monoblock amps.

Just change the fuse if old for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age after many turn on cycle surges.
Quick blow fuses aging and slow blow fuses aging left to right.

As for the wires yes too those also, especially to the ones serving the big current supply to those tube heaters, they now will also be getting blackened and getting hard under the insulation, as well as the where each end terminates.
A perfect example of this

George is so ignorant.  There are very, very few components that use "steel" leads.......are you kidding?  Almost all transistors, tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc. use copper leads.   There are a few rare op amps that use steel leads and some inexpensive diodes use steel leads.  George lives in an alternative universe.  All fuses sound different and all materials sound different.  Only those that listen with an open mind and heart truly KNOW.  Fuses and fuse holders do not have "steel" connections....most all of them are brass or bronze.

Ricev’s, you have no idea of the gist here, where’s your proof, your the one who’s ignorant.
All you do is promote your own commercial         and snake oil, and you’ve be deleted for it many times now.


For members that wish to know the truth, on fuses etc

And the base section inside the amp, of those external bayonet 1/2 turn screw in ones

Just look up any part and look at the spec sheet that shows you the material used as the lead......that is where the proof is.  Pick up almost any component and put a magnet near its lead.....if it is not attracted then it is not steel.  There is your proof.  A thousand/million/billion times over proof.  Where is your proof that all components use steel leads?......it is no where....because it is not true.  I could post links to millions of parts and their spec sheets that all show there is no "steel".

Lost me on that one.. My name is Scotty.. not sunshine, and I don't bark, But thanks for the bright outlook...

Fish? Fish oil, OK I got you.. No just asking what you would do if a customer came in and asked if you would upgrade a system, that's all.

Don't sell many SR fuses, I take it.. Do customers ASK? What do you say, NO.. if they ask for them? All the repair guys around here, have SR in stock, Bees wax, a few... Or they will get them for you.. Even Mac repair shops... Daily City, Sacramento, a few.
