When he posts, click the little "Report this" flag. Select "Other". In the space below type "off topic".

Alternatively, select "abusive to another member" and explain how. Typically it is name-calling, with "fuser" being most popular. But he has others.

FACT: It is more effective to ignore and report than engage. He never does engage anyway. All it gets you is more insults.

For proof of this FACT, please see above.

😂😂😂😂And you guys believe what this half baked website says, The Don probably made it.😂😂😂😂😂😂



 A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the technicians of this industry that design your audio products that you have.

AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH THESE FUSERS ABOUT THE SONIC IMPROVMENT DETAILS, AND EVEN MORE ABSURD, AC MAINS FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION!!

Just do this before spending your hard earned dollars, and giving it to these very suspect website outlets .

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)

Cheers to those "non fusers" George

There is an element of sadism at play here.
Not at all in keeping with the hobby.

@jafant,

I have not tried any fuses in a CD player.
HOWEVER, I just picked up a new-to-me modded Denon, and may take a look under the hood, see what’s in there and give it one a shot.

I imagine the "liquid" sound you get from a new fuse might compliment the tubes in it nicely. Probably have to wait a couple of weeks, though.....my audio budget has taken a beating lately and I need to refill the coffers, so to speak. :)

@yoby,

I moved the GR cable from my preamp to my amp, and that seems to have made any fluctuations in sound more tolerable. I’m sure it’s still "breaking in/settling down", but at least it’s more tolerable now. Jury’s still out on this one......

@boxer12,

Agree 100%. Strange to have such a strong opinion on something if you’ve never actually tried it......All I'll add is that bumblebees couldn't fly for 75 years......yet fly they did. ;)

This quote says it all, to bad these close minded people continue to pollute the community and ad Nothing positive.. this is why the world is like it is now days. “Less harmless are those audio enthusiasts who are least secure: those whose toxic rage at a world that does not accept the authority of their opinions—a world that persists in enjoying recorded music in ways of which they do not approve—accomplishes nothing other than making our hobby seem repellent.”
