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  I replaced the pre amp with a newer version of the pre amp and it has the same fuse value.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

I was waiting to see how much more ridiculous the conversation would get :-)  It exceeded my expectations by a huge margin.....

Still fooling yourselves into thinking you heard a difference .....

Also these fusers claim there's a difference in inserted direction with an ac mains fuse.

You're completing your metamorphosis of sorts, to that of an insufferable troll. My, how the lowly have fallen.

And you can always count on old faithful to chime in. Same old tired shtick. You're gonna be a big hit with the nurses when your dementia kicks in.

All the best,

If you were actually witty, your comments would be less than sh*tty. You're way funnier when your not trying to be.
