Doping your fuse box


As part of improving power to my system and after installing a separate spur I came across two products to improve the separate fuse (junction) box for the spur:

Akiko Audio cylindrical fuse unit: a Siemens design with silver treated contacts, silver coated rod for Neutral and a ceramic fuse containing an Akiko Fuse Tuning Chip. This unit is best installed by a qualified electrician lest you know what you are doing around live mains. It has a major impact on lowering the noise floor, detail retrieval and impulse speed

Akiko Audio Fuse box Pro: attaches to the fuse box’ ground connection and removes hash from the system and substantially improves bass performance. Easily installed and one of the better value for money tweaks out there.

I cannot overemphasize the importance of optimum mains treatment. In big cities the amount of mains borne noise keeps increasing with the number of digital devices connected.

I have no association with the company, just a happy customer.

Personally, I would never stick my hands or anything inside a live breaker box.  You may want to check local code and your insurance company before doing what you stated.  I wouldn’t want it to come to…….”sorry honey about burning the house down, but the stereo sounded so much better”

antigrunge2,

I assume you are turning off the main breaker before attaching the Akiko Audio products?

After reading the Akkio description what is a cupboard? Does the pro unit attach to the breaker box or to the outside meter?

"Cylindric Fuse Cartridge Silver has the great advantage of directly supplying power from your meter cupboard to your devices, without having it go through any inferior electromagnetic fuses. This positively influences alldevices in the rendering chain."

"The Harmonizer comes with a meter long connection cable and should be placed besides the meter cupboard.

Preferably connect this green/yellow cable to the same rail on which the earthing for the separate power cable of your audio/video set-up is also connected.

Since the cup board has to be opened for this, this is work for an qualified electrician.

Shorten the connection cable if possible.

Finally, mount the Harmonizer as close as possible to the meter cupboard using two self-tappers or screws."

I'm waiting on someone to come up with audiophile breaker, curious as to benefit.

the cylindrical cartridge should be installed by a qualified electrician. The fuse box pro goes on the unified ground rail where there is no live current, hence I did it myself. The effects are very significant in my setup: I have both sit in the junction box for my dedicated spur off the main junction box.
