Gentlemen, please. The other fuse thread was a fine place to argue about these generalities . . .
Rodman and Albert, I'm glad you're happy with the improvements the fuses have made; if you please, I'd be interested in knowing the values and circuit positions of the fuses where you've found the improvements, if you recall.
Magfan, I'd postulate that your loudspeaker fuses are a great place to see if there's a difference - they're directly in the signal path, they're a low amperage fast-blow variety (hence higher resistance), and the Maggies can draw significant current peaks, which could aggrevate any temperature-dependent characteristics in the fuses.
Remember, more and better data helps all of us! I have 14 glass fuses total in all of my components, and if I am going to try it like many of you suggest . . . $546 for all of them is a lot of Jack! Simply choosing one at random, or just switching out the easiest ones to reach . . . pretty lame approach. If we were that haphazard in our methodology for speaker placement, or tonearm setup, well, you get the picture.
