in short, no a fuse does not eliminate clipping but might save the bacon as it happens. The bacon may include your amplifier.

Can anyone explain how fuses affect audio quality?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sure you pay for a fuse and if YOU don't like it, return it, if you do like it, you keep it. You have the same information as everyone else, try it and THEN make a statement of facts.. "I liked it", "I returned it", here is the reason OR NOT, that's up to you.. No one here is SELLING you, on anything.. You have to buy it. BTW they DON'T have to sell it to YOU either.. No matter who you are. Like I've always said cables and tweaks account for 5-10% of the overall SQ.. I've noticed a difference back to ACME gold fuses 30+ years ago in 12 & 24VDC systems. Good heavy cabling and electrical enhancements like graphite and silver chips mixed with high quality terminal ends and high pressure cold weld. Add it all up, it's quit a treat.. Regards |
Objective listening impressions are not scientific. "Objective listening"? Is that a new ninja technique? Listening is always subjective. Listening is observation. Observation is accepted scientific proof. Go back to school. You can measure an amplifier’s distortion of a given signal. Sure we can. But no measurement of amplifier distortion will give us an indication of what it sounds like or how musical it is. Surely it would be easy to compare fuses using these measurements if they made any actual difference. Sure it’s easy to measure fuses and compare them. But like measuring amplifier distortion levels, it’s not going to tell you what they sound like. Anything else I can help you with? |
Can anyone explain how fuses affect audio quality?They don't, unless they are like what below in the link. cerberus79 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) Cheers George |
