NEW PROTOTYPE FUSES COMING >>>

I’ve been asked to evaluate/beta test some new fuses that will be coming out soon. I should have them as soon as this coming Saturday.

At this point:

1. I cannot reveal the name of the manufacturer of the fuses.
2. I do not know what the retail price will be.
3. I do not know what the name of the fuse will be.

For comparison purposes, I have a full complement of SR Orange fuses that can be used throughout the system. I have one QSA Yellow fuse now being used in my ARC-PH8 phono stage, with another one to arrive soon to be used in my ARC REF-75se.

I’ll be comparing the SR Orange fuses, and the QSA fuses, with the new prototype fuses. I’ll also be using the ears of three of my well-seasoned audiophile friends, as well as my own to make the evaluations. These guys are all truth-tellers that I have full confidence in.

According to the manufacturer, these new fuses are real game-changers, so stay tuned.

@pesky_wabbit...

I am good friends with a senior fire investigator for several of the major insurance companies here in the UK... I know precisely what I am talking about and the veracity of it.

BS please provide hard data to substantiate your outlandish claim.
The whole concept of an insurance investigator delving into the impact of so called audiophile fuses on the profitability of their company beggars belief.

In the UK All fire insurance assessors are trained to investigate any and all self or badly implemented alterations to a house electrical system no matter how small that do not comply to building regulations or equipment manufacturers specifications. If an investigator reports that a fire or electrical incident occurred in the following scenario an insurance company will invariably invalidate your claim for Your Amp Your fire damaged room or your House.

Replacing a BS 1362 regulated fuse with anything else Audiophile or otherwise is just the same as soldering a section of wire into your equipments mains inlet

It’s a little ironic.  The mantra used to be that the improvment in sound from the addition of audiophile fuses was the equivalent of buying a new component.

By the time people are on their third or fourth round of buying new fuses they will probably have spent as much or more than the cost of some new components.
