I will say this I put a Synergistic Black fuse in my preamp it seemed to make no difference. I put a Hifi tuning fuse in my, now ex, Dac big difference. No clue if the difference was two different pieces of gear or the Hifi tuning was just a better fuse.
FUSES, Finally!?
I have been adamant about avoiding special fuses, because of the lack of empirical studies. Here is my question: What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start. I use three dual mono Audire amps (for Woofs, Mids and Tweets, and Subs, each of the six channel having four fuses. I would not not want to spend thousands, even if I could, just to experiment. My heat sinks do unplug, along with the outputs, and I could try just one channel or one amp. Paul of PS mentioned what they use, and that might eventually be a possibility, but what do you guys (and gals?) think I should do, to just to convince this ageing skeptic? Also, each channel of my amps has one single, dedicated computer chip that regulates the filling of the 4 26,000 mf caps (per channel), which might make any difference less than a design that allows a flood of electrons into the tank, presuming that might matter.

Just buy a bunch of new Bussman fuses for a dollar each, clean all the fuse contact holders and squeeze them together for a stronger hold on the fuse. Don’t be a "gullible sucker" and buy any fuse over a couple of bucks each Just re-new your fuse with the same amperage if it’s old and has seen many turn on cycles, with a quality one like Bussman or Littlefuse and clean the cradle fuse contacts and maybe squeeze them in a little for a tight fit. And definitely don’t be sucked into any $$$ boutique hifi fuses Cheers George |
You could try these at about $13 a pop:https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/other-brands/wilbrand-acoustics/528-wilbrand-acoustics-silver-fuse I can’t vouch for them as I’ve never tried them but for the price of entry, not bad. If not, try and source some HiFi Tuning Silver Stars or Gold on eBay. And don’t pay any attention to Georgie. As you can see, he can’t be civil right from the start. I don’t see how his posts aren’t automatically removed for the bile and insults he constantly uses. He’s not all there. All the best, Nonoise |
