HiFi-Tuning German fuses opinion

To get part of the improvement try standard ceramic fusses, they always seem a little better than the glass versions and are sooo much cheaper.

i use them in my preamp and I did notice a difference..slightly smoother sound and slightly darker background. I will be using them in all of my components.

In my system with my previous amp when I changed the fuses in it, I noticed such things as cleaned up soundstage, instruments sounding a bit more clear and distinct. Less of a moosh overall.

If your system is sonically on the analytical side of things already, I would probably recommend against these fuses.

On the scale of things, changing tubes in your sonic frontiers for example, may produce more of an improvement.

Elduende, if you decide to buy a new hi-end fuse try this before installing it.

Remove the current fuse, wipe the tips clean, and re-install it. See if that alone provides some improvement. Then, try the new fuse and see what you hear.

My guess is that in many cases, just cleaning the current fuse contacts accounts for most or all of the improvement. However, since most don't try this two step process, they attribute all of the change mistakenly to the new fuse.

Hmmmmm. yes I have been following this tube-thing and I suppose I will try it and my not-so-audiophile ears might hear the change.

The real test is when the wife comes home and asks 'what did I do, now....' as in when I roll tubes.
