Audiophile circuit breakers ?

Anyone got those ? I just got 2 AHP Klangmodul IIIG circuit breakers, as a "finishing touch" to my 2 dedicated AC lines, but did not have a chance to try them yet.

I'm curious of your experience on this field.

sounds very interesting: please post up a www hyperlink regarding these AHP breakers; I'd like to learn more?

Good old-fasioned ceramic body W-series fuses are reputed to sound better than circuit breakers (possibly due to fuses having no internal switch contacts, therefor no breaker-associated micro-arc noise).

AHP web address is:

http://www.audiophiles-hifi.de/

Unfortunatelly the site is in German.

Look for Klangmodul II (silver contacts) and Klangmodul III (gold contacts). The ones wit "G" in their name use bigger fuse, and are said to sound better due to larger contact area.

In fact, Klangmodule DOES use ceramic fuse. It is cylindric in shape, and measures 1/2" x 2", so it is quite large. When you short circuit the AC line, you have to replace the ceramic fuse. The fuse values range from 16A to 50(!)A.

No universal breaker, depends on load center. Square D industrial load centers are the best, IMO.
