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.

A few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon member.
To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss fuses and could not hear a difference.
I did this test with a bunch of friends and neither I or them could hear a difference. Kind of just says it all doesn't it?


To those non technical thinking of purchasing these $$$ fuses. Just save your $150+ and do this instead.

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 in "maybe" wasting their money, do not listen to the non-technical, listen to the technicians of this industry that design the audio products you have and listen to. AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH WHAT SAID HERE ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!
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)

You mean you need another person to tell you what to hear? If you don't know then this is all a joke!

Not just a joke rsf, but a very well organized way taking advantage of the electronically gullible here.

My guess has always been the replacement for the SR orange.  But then again, it is just a guess.

Ok George I accept your gift, I’m electronically gullible. Is there any thing else you want to add to the gift, or do you want to keep reminding me of what a gullible person I AM. Being gullible is still self inflicted.

Do you remind every handicapped person you meet about their handicap?

How many times do you punish your kids for the same offence? If you’re trying to mentor or teach someone, you have a strange way of doing it..

There is ONLY so many bits at the apple, then you hit the CORE.. I’ll add you’ve chewed this tree off at the stump.. No more apples, no more trees, no more learning, no more patience.

You’ve been ask and ask and ask to stop costing people money and calling anyone that disagrees with you, names. You WON’T stop after being ask by several people to STOP the harassment on SEVERAL threads.

It seems you can’t make a post as of late without some reference to "snake oil", or gullible, or ripped off, or close. We would have to LOOK for the contribution VS retribution in more than half of your post.

The sad part is with over 1/2 of the post being deleted, you still don’t understand. QUIT KICKING the dog George, Quit beating EVERYONE up George, QUIT, QUIT, QUIT, STOP, STOP, STOP.

It’s not cute, it’s not welcome, it’s not needed. It is PURE harassment.
There is nothing borderline, it has been OVER the line for a long long time.

AGon at what point are LOWER sales on Agon going to be attributed to this kind of harassment? When there are NONE? When no one will renew THEIR membership here?

Agon the people that are complaining are the ones that purchased the fused that made Agon money.. This guy is taking the SOUP right off your own table.. From 20 pages of selling adds to just a few these days..

Agon Admin at what point is LOSING revenue, good business sense? ONE man’s campaign, to willfully ruin another businessmen’s reputation or impune a whole company as "a fraud", is standard now..

I’d use good common sense at this point as a business person and wonder "is ONE person’s behavior going to dictate whether we at AGon get a raise anytime soon or NOT"..

Remind me, how do you get paid? From sales on Agon or NOT selling on AGon?

I’m going to save this post to remind ME what and how a business works.. I’ll remind AGon’s posters as often as they need to be reminded.

It’s a business, AND a place to share.

Regards Admin and the rest of the Agon community..
