Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????

Garebear - I think there is a bigger chance that the voodoo fuses will give less reliable protection, than that they will do the protection thing as well and make any difference that a human being could detect in a well designed blind test. If you are going to trust them to protect your equipment, I'd want to look close at what data each manufacturer provides for testing,verification and certification by a valid 3rd party.

Thanks Jeff.....I was thinking the same thing. As the fuse's that are in my amp are all UL listed. They protected the amp after I stupidly kicked the power cord while the system was on. The fuse blew and protected my system....I agree, are these real expensive fuse's UL listed ????? Will they protect my amp / system ?????

Tried the link to aaudio imports without success. Nothing there but a cable company ???

I've replaced 4 external $.035 fuses with 4 Isoclean fuses and within 48 hours I could not hear any difference whatsoever.

(In my experience, simple electrical and some line conditioners take about 48 hours of burn-in time.)

Several days later I replaced the 4 internal fuses on each rail of my amp. Within 48 hours the sonic improvements were about equal to going from audio grade wall receptacles to cryo-treated and higher audio grade wall receptacle. In other words, a very noticeable improvment.

A noticeable amount of graininess was gone and replaced with a richer, warmer, more detailed and pristine presentation. The improvements were well worth the money.

There is another fuse mfg'er called HiFi-Tuning.com that appears to produce an even better built and better materials fuse than the IsoClean. I've replaced that equipment and left the fuses in place (accidentally). This next round I'm going for the hifi-tuning.com fuses.

With regard to safety, there should be no difference. Safety and construction and blow are the sole purpose for a fuses existence and easily understood even by somebody like myself. An audio grade fuse simple replaces the very cheap alumimun and glass materials with silver, copper, gold-plating, and ceramic type materials.

There's probably more voodoo just by mentioning the subject.

The key to safety is replacing a fuse with an identical spec'ed fuse including amperage, size, and type( slow or fast blow).

-IMO

Whether or not the 25 dollar fuses sound better, I imagine they do, there is no denying the fact that fuses suck. I've always thought a higher quality fuse would be worth the money. I doubt if Isoclean is going to sell a fuse that will not at a minimum do its job as well as a cheap fuse. Think of the lawsuits.
