Should we upgrade high end fuses?

Do a search in the discussion forums for IsoClean. You can read all about it.

Yes, Porziob, I'm sure you tried them in your system. I made the mistake of
trying them in mine and now own five of them. Couldn't be more surprised.
Kinda logical, when you think about it, assuming that you believe there are
differences in the sound of cables and the fuses are clearly the weakest links.
Granted, the price is absurd.

Why not? If you can spend hundreds and thousands on a high end power cord, I am sure a fuse would make significant improvements.

REMEMBER.....after your 20A dedicated lines, to your cryo'd outlets then to your gigantic power cords, the current ultimately passes thru a tiny fuse in your component. If the fuse would be of a good quality, it must make a difference.

I have Isoclean fuses throughout my system and YES, it makes a big difference. YMMV

I have (3) HIFI tuning fuses in my system and it did make a noticable postive improvement in the sound (cleaner and more detailed) but bypassing the fuse and fuse holder all togeather (going fuseless) provides far more sonic gain. When I removed the fuse from my cat JL2 amp, Jadis preamp and a fuse on my dynavector phono headamp the upgrade was far greater than simply changing fuses. The cheap fuse holder, usually about 85 cents retail on most audio units, really degrades the sound even when a upgraded high end audiophile fuse is added. It would be nice if somebody made a pure copper or bronze fuse holder to go with the expensive audio fuses currently on the market but to the best of my knowledge nobody does, what a shame as the fuse holder is the real choke hold.

I'm replacing my fuses with solid silver rods tomorrow. I'll get back to you on the improved sound.
