... hence my suggestion for Graphene Contact Enhancer from madscientistaudio.com. 
Fuses are there for a reason! I've never bypassed a fuse, even briefly for testing, nor do I intend to. I know some can't wrap their brain around the idea, but I think it’s possible to treat a fuse in some way, and have it actually sound better than no fuse. I’ve never tested this myself, so I have no way of knowing for sure. Feel free to call me crazy (I'm sure some will, regardless😉)
Anybody receive one from Tweek Geek this week? I have a light blue for my dac and a yellow for my amp coming Monday. 
$2844 is not enough. My mapman funky fuse will be coming out soon for $4823 and it will be 4X as good. Just don’t open up or warranty voided. ALso if it blows properly when it should no free replacements on a costly-to-make 5K fuse.  THere is expensive stuff inside though so a local scrap metal yard might offer a good price for a blown funky fuse.
