Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?

Check out The Emperor’s New Fuse. It’s comes with a can of compressed Audiophile Air.

If you hate the idea of fuses making a difference, then you can start directing that hate at Yamaha and fill up their in-boxes with bile and bad mouth their products online:

Cut to the 38:08 time setting and listen to what they found out.

This, in no way, justifies the ridiculous price of the aforementioned fuse, but that fuses do make a difference.

All the best,

Things are sounding mighty fine over here, MC. With the lights out, sometimes it is downright scary. Amazing what lowering the noise floor can do to an audio system.

Define too expensive.

Do you have $20,000,000 in the bank, love audio, are bored to death and want to try something new? Then no. People with money have a lot of leeway to buy things that seem frivolous to others.

Do you have a $1,000 system, or even a $10,000 system which you had to struggle to afford? Then yes.
