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  I replaced the pre amp with a newer version of the pre amp and it has the same fuse value.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.....
You're completing your metamorphosis of sorts, to that of an insufferable troll. My, how the lowly have fallen.
Also these fusers claim there's a difference in inserted direction with an ac mains fuse.
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,
Nonoise



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

Hello,
This upgrading fuses situation is one of the reasons why  I am going with Ayre equipment. They gave up on fuses and came up with something that not only sounds better but is also more reliable. I know some houses still have fuses on the main electrical box but most who could afford it have upgraded to breakers in the electrical panel. Plus, There are even upgradable options for audiophiles like us. If you have fuses on your audio equipment and you like the way it sounds then I get upgrading to SR fuses. If you are buying new maybe consider if someone designed a better product. Would you buy a brand new house if it had an old fashioned fuse panel? I doubt it. I demoed the Ayre KX-R preamp this past week. It was amazing to say the least. Perfection does cost. At least someone finally strives for it. I hooked up a $450 TT setup to it. It sounded like I spent $2,000. The phono preamp was a Schiit Mani. Unbelievable! I checked out this gear at the new Chicagoland Ayre dealer.
