Hi Fi Tuning Fuses & Ayre

Has anyone installed Hi-Fi Tuning Fuses or other upgraded fuses in his or her Ayre C-5xe cdp or K-1xe preamp? If so, which fuses and what changes did you notice in the sound?

Hi

I put the HiFi tuning gold cap fuses in my MXRs. Things were more quiet, allowing better detail, extension, and more resolution but with warmth. Wasn't like a new amp, but was a improve that far outweighs the cost.

All plusses no negatives.

yeah.. for 30$ it's worth a try... these fuses are showing up everywhere! I mean, they are advertising on forums, magazines and all.

Thanks, guys. Can you help me on exactly which fuse to order for my K-1xe and C-5xe? I read the fuses available on the Hi Fi Tuning and Isoclean Websites and don't know which are the right ones because the nomenclature on their tubes do not match the nomenclature on the stock Ayre tubes.

Hi wish I could, but my dealer did this work for me. He stocks the hi fi tuning fuses and is a Ayre dealer, so maybe he can help you out? If you're curious send me a note off line...Thanks

Just open it up and see...or if you're lucky, they put the fuse in the female IEC receptacle. I have HiFi fuses in all my gear. Same results as jfrech above.
