The guru on fuses:


For two years, I have asked why and how fuses could possibly matter. All I got was arguments of faith, pro or con. I needed a real audio guru who actually knows. Here is a link from John Curl’s discussion on Parasound’s website. He engineered and designed some some great equipment, including some Mark Levinson gear, The Grateful Dead’s 30 plus McIntosh amp powered Wall of Sound, and his admittedly, somewhat price compromised Parasound designs. He discusses the electrical properties of standard fuses, showing how they are compromised. The entire article is quite enlightening, but to skip to the fuse section, go to the bottom half of page 6. https://www.parasound.com/pdfs/JCinterview.pdf

In the ac line where they are less resonant and have a much greater conductive surface area. Also a sonic benefit. Tom
When they build an amp. or pre amp or what ever, aren’t better components, BETTER?. Look at the copper foil resistors, I thought WIMA caps were the reason for the great but reasonable cost of HIGH quality sound... It’s not, it the resistors.. AND they do make a huge difference in SQ..

SO WHY are you so resistant to a damn fuse... Beyond me.. I don’t get it..

Every time I use this fuel my car does this.. OK, do you like what it does?
NO, pings like a pong! Sounds like it’s gonna blow up... Answer. don’t use that fuel. BUT I use this other fuel and it runs even better, same octane. What do I do.. REALLY? oh by all means use the crap fuel...

I dunno... maybe I’m just too emotional.. about the whole thing...LOL
Go hug my speakers... They know they get the best...
