We spend all that money on dedicated AC lines, power conditioners, megabuck power cords, and then what do we do? We run all that expensive "juice" thru a fifty cent fuse. Are there any high end fuses on the market, and does it matter anyway?
Some people really get into the tweaking, that's OK, when they (I) get tired they sit back for a longer amount of time and enjoy the music :-)! Sorry, I have no knowledge about a high end fuse.
You could take the fuse out and stuff a silver bar with rhodium coating over it and that would probably change the sound. Just make sure you do it when I am NOT around :)
doing what tireguy has said was a tweak that many with nerves of steel have done, ive been told it makes a sonic difference, however of course there are potential catastrophic risks....
I have a friend who says ceramic fuses sound better than the 50 cent ones. My bat vk75se uses them stock on the ac inlet, but my bat pre amps don't. I'm going to go to a electronic's store and buy some. It's only a couple of bucks each...can't hurt.
Of course I'll use same values...I'll post my findings in a few weeks...
