So done with audiophile fuses


The journey started with a medium priced ($50) fuse in my power supply.  A failed rectifier tube blew that one out.  Not a fuse problem.  Next up was a blue fuse in my pre amp.  It blew and was not caused by a pre amp problem.  Apparently they sometimes are more sensitive and it was replaced by an orange fuse two values higher.  Things were going along fine.  I replaced the pre amp with a newer version of the pre amp and it has the same fuse value.  Five months latter (today) I turn on the pre amp and nothing.  it's a five month old pre amp so I suspected that it was the fuse.  Sure enough, I replaced it with a ceramic Littelfuse of the lower correct value it works fine.  No more wasting my money on unstable fuses for me.

@edgewound,
"How many more will deleted because it fails to fit the shill narrative."



They don’t want a narrative, they want to preserve lazy astronomical profits.


What does a £50 fuse cost to make?

How is it better than a standard one?

Is there ANY electrical measument to confirm ANY superiority?

I thought not.

My comment that you took this from was also deleted...🤣🤣🤣

Hey...let's all get into the "audiophile fuse" business. When one can buy from China for 3 cents a unit in quantity, the business model starts looking pretty good...if you have zero ethics and conscience.
