Thinking of trying well fuses…..


So I have been reading the debate on fuses and well class D and have decided to try fuses.

Looking for guidance on brands used and in what components.

Not looking to start a debate or have a bunch of dialog or opinions on the overall topic just want first hand knowledge so I can pick a couple of products and see for myself if it’s real or if it’s Memorex.

Now I am heading out to swim and listen to my Class D NAD or the Yamaha on the deck.

Regards.

Take your existing fuse out, turn it around and listen. Did you hear any difference?

Get the same busman fuse, NEW, inspect it, and wipe the end caps with some very fine steel wool. Take a piece of elect tape cut it wide enough to cover the glass barrel or use a little dab of silicone and DON'T get it on the end caps..

IF you have a good contact enhancer put it on the fuse end caps and let it dry, install it. Listen for a change out the gate. You will hear it. Reverse the fuse after an hour of playing, BUT you NOT listening (Ear plugs in). REVERSE the fuse, Remove YOUR ear plugs or muffs and listen (one maybe two minutes) Same test track. What do you hear..

Total cost.. Time.

 The enhancer I make by the ounce @ a whoppin' 5 dollars an ounce.
 A container, graphene compound, a type of never-seize I use and a thinning agent. When it evaporates it is still pliable enough to fill in the gaps "so to speak"

I also do a water base that dries. Distilled water, Graphene and diamond dust (2000 or higher) mix.

Model paint brush and a very thin coating or two..

Have fun..
Class D , other fuses won’t make a significant difference. 

       Looking to your honest review………

To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products.
AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH THESE FUSERS
Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)
