Interesting. 24.XX each.

rixthetrick you have a spirt of "it might work", for that I commend you. My wallet opens like an old creaky door. The folded money may crumble in your hand. Lets put it this way there is no security strip in my cash..

IF someone hadn’t given me a handful of SR fuses I would have never tried them. I did I paid him for the fuses. I used ACMEs and had from their inception. 80-90s. I was also a fan of over capping the crap out of power supplies and using a knife edge switch to charge the caps and then flip on the fused switch let the fuse take over and flip the knife edge back off. WHY?

It doesn’t super heat and add resistance to that itty bitty fuse element. Some of the fuses elements MOVE when you fire up a unit.. You really think that doesn’t affect the SQ?

Then I went to breakers in all my SS power amp. I leave any thermal shut down in place and remove the cheesy fuse circuit.. I use to use Pass design. Adcom 55-5800. Then Threshold. I still have them. Krells had a cheese ball 5 dollar fuses circuit, KRELL. 5-40k amps 5 dollar fuse holder made out of rhodium.. Worst on the planet..

I use Class Ds now first thing to come out is the fuse circuit. 5 dollar fuse holder in 2-4K amps.. stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.. Look at most pro amps they have a circuit breaker and cost 3-700.00 dollars?

Makes you wonder who is in cahoots with who.. Amp guys with the fuse guys or the fuse guys with the amp guys? BOTH. Neither, that would be spooky if they both thought stick fuses were better. Fuse makers and amp builders..

No fuses in a megaphone. :-)

I have some Mad Scientist Audio Graphene contact enhancer.

I use it on every unsoldered metal on metal contact in my audio chain, fuses, speaker cables, USB cable, Interconnects, power cables.

It gets rid of splashy treble and excessive ringing in the playback, increases resolution by suppressing noise. I can vouch for this 1st hand. I have a hunch that it has something to do with suppressing metal on metal micro arcing. It works, and I can hear the difference very clearly. It does not however change timbre/ tonality of the music. Someone here on Audiogon recommended this brand to me, forgot who it was.

i experimented myself with many "tweaks" with success..

Schuman generator modified grid... Ionizers... my "golden plates" etc...

But in my audio experience with these "tweaks" so good they could be, and some are, NOTHING compare to acoustic control of the room and the tuning of the room.. I just created a thread about acoustic... No reactions 😁😊 ... People like what they can see, and touch,  especially any shining object like speakers, dac or amplifiers... 😁😊 acoustic devices  dont have  sex appeal...

i say that because those who mock all "tweaks" users and experimenters, are the most DELUDED consumers there is and ever will be...

They think that most of the sound level quality they listen to come from the gear FIRST AND LAST...

Sorry but acoustic science say the opposite: sound quality mainly come from the SPEAKERS/EARS/room relation FIRST AND LAST... The gear quality and those tweaks are in between this FIRST and this LAST... Acoustic rule...

Then before upgrading know how to control electrical noise floor of the house, control vibration, and control acoustic...

Anything else is consumerism ignorance ...

And before mocking a "tweak", TRY TO replicate it yourself and experiment..

All my knowledge in audio is small yes, but consist of evidences for me coming from years of experiments with no cost products and no buying of any upgrade...

Mainly coming from basic acoustic...Helmholtz know better already about sound than most anyway even BEFORE EDISON invented the phonograph in America or Charles cros in France.... ( Edison invented less than what we think by the way)

And the Greek architect know more about acoustic and the Egyptian priest than the average audio consumer or reviewer...Egytian Priest were using Helmholtz resonators before Helmholtz to increase their control of acoustic for temple cremonial magic...

I have a hunch that it has something to do with suppressing metal on metal micro arcing.

I made mention of nano or micro arching and a seemingly smart fellow thought I was watching to much Star Teck. Then I pointed to a reference in the 2003 EE good book. I didn't write the stuff they did.. One of the main reason for chip failure especially in the nano/tech world.. 

Space is a bad place to have a bad signal.. No cell service.. BAD nano! :-)
