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  I replaced the pre amp with a newer version of the pre amp and it has the same fuse value.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.

Let me know when a clear winner emerges.

Hey...let's all get into the "audiophile fuse" business. 
Sounds like a winner - fire up the paint shop before all the good colors are taken!
Forget this fuse bull s..t.

If you cause a fire in your house one day, you will not get a penny from your insurance company if they find out, which they will.

Do not give into this fuse bulls..t and just put a properly rated one in your amp, as the manufacturer did.

It is there FOR A REASON. And that reason is NOT for improving the sound. It will NEVER EVER make a difference to the sound. Do not fall for all the crap you hear on this forum.

You finally seemed to have done the right thing.
