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

One of the biggest upgrades for a fuse, is to run a resistor in parallel to it.

This is not for power fuses mind you, but for internal rail fuses. One cannot legally, for good reason, put a resistor in parallel with a primary power fuse.

You can open up a lot of SS amps from the late 70’s to late 90’s and see a resistor in parallel with the rail fuses.

In this image, at the bottom, center..you will see a pair of resistors between the fuses. (Rotel RA-870BX integrated amplifier) 

This trick to lessening fuse sound reproduction interference qualities/issues is well known and used often, by audio circuit designers. it’s right there, in many many hundreds of circuits. The designers are well aware of how bad fuses sound.


Nay sayers will really have to get their s** together to ignore this one.

Please, build up an even more fantastical excuse and expose yourself. thanks....

I’m not saying in any way that I agree to a multi kilobuck fuse, though. I’m showing the counter to that.

Cheap fuses definitely degrade sound quality. It defies comprehension how anyone can think otherwise. I mean seriously, if one inch of hair thin cheap wire does not degrade sound quality then why waste money on good wire anywhere? Just run that fuse wire to your speakers. Run the fuse wire for interconnects. Heck run the fuse wire for your AC power! Like I said, defies comprehension. Yet people do believe this BS. 

Is one inch of wire worth $3k? Well, if it makes your system sound better than anything else you can possibly do with $3k then logically you would have to say, "Yes!" The "yes" is weak if it is likely to burn out so you have to keep buying it over and over again. The "yes" is stronger if they will replace it. That simple.

Color makes a huge different.  Black are $28.50; Red/Black are $2844.00.

Littelfuse audiophile fuses are orange, which according to SR is the best color for fuses.

The article/review states that if there is a fuse failure in the first year of use, it will be replaced free of charge, no matter the reason, even if it was the user's fault.

is this like at the track, where white porsche gt3’s are a lil faster than other color gt3’s?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
