The main reason I have been such a fuse skeptic is that I assumed the fuses were not in the audio path. The ones in my amps certainly do not seem to be. I did used to use in line speaker wire fuses for my Phase Linear 400 powered Advents, but that was nearly 50 years ago. The NASA Apollo circuit breakers I mentioned are really only used as power switches. They are really robust. I do agree, right or wrong for now, that the bass should be least affected.
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.

nonoise I don’t see how his posts aren’t automatically removed for the bile and insults he constantly uses. danvignau O I did not find Georgie to be so demeaning. I agree with him Thanks dan, he only said that because he put himself into the snake oil group I was generalizing about, that also say AC fuses are directional. Cheers George |
Fuses absolutely make a difference ,the stock steel fuses tons of resistance , Copper or Silvers 4 x better conductor . I use on power cords and fuses Furutech Nano fluid which is nano particles of Silver and Gold and fills in the voids ,or pours in metal. takes 75-100 hours but a noticeable increase in resolution ,system dependent of course. after seeing on Stereo times best of 2020 $2200 fuses ,that's just insane IMO , the Synergistic Orange at $160 is steep for a fuse but worth the results. Synergistic will be coming out with a even better fuse ,this year I heard when is anybody’sguess and I would imagine creeping up near the $200 mark. |
It's simple if I was down under I'd have George fix my stuff If he had the time.. I can always sneak in my fuse later.. I'm sure he's quite handy in the troubleshoot and repair department.. And what George likes, all weigh a TON.. I like tonnage in speakers and amps.. just not on the back of the old flathead. 115 is about it.. Tire rubs.. :-) Regards |
