for those who popped for "Hi-Fi Tuning" fuses...


...in which components did they seem to have the most effect - amp, preamp or CDP?

I meed to replace a fuse in an amp, and am considering ponying up for some of these uber-fuses, given glowing reports here & elsewhere.

Thanks.

Hi Triode- I've only ever used them in my JoLida 502B. I was suprised to hear an improvement - more detail & spaciousness, I'd say. I really didn't expect to be able to hear a change. Didn't think my system or ears were "resolving" enough. But I thought they did. Proof came when a tube went and took the HiFi fuse. I replaced with a cheap Radio Shack substitute until a replacement arrived. I heard the "loss" when running the RS replacement. It's a minimal investment given the dollars some have in their systems. Worth a try. The Cable Co. is running a special during the Christmas season (I don't work for the Cable Co. - they are just a convenient retailer for me). Search HiFi Tuning Fuses...there have been some recent threads on this topic.
The differences were heard in all components, but this is what I found in order of impact:
1. Amp (Cary v12i)
2. Preamp (Cary SLP98F1)
3. CD Shanling t-100
Couldn't find a fuse in my VPI Table :^D

Like Ghosthouse, you can really tell when you take them out!
IMHO, worth the dough.
Definitely worth their overpriced cost. Noticed a significant benefit in my McIntosh Preamp and Amp.
You guys are nuts? Right? A fuse is a connection so why not replace it with the proper breaker and be done with it. #1 it's a better connection (all solid) and #2 you can reset it instead of getting ripped off again.
