Fuse Upgrade to Ceramic not glass


Been researching fuses and see a need to upgrade to Ceramic over glass but don't neccesarily buy into the hoopla over expensive Fuses, I would say getting rid of any glass type for ceramic is the way to go , I truly believe thats what people hear the difference in , ceramic is a much better material for acoustics than a crap glass / thin wire that can Vibrate and be a weak link in my opinion I'm not about to spend a fortune on fuses either a quality ceramic will suffice. Question where does one find out what fuses are in his gear ? I want to figure out what I need for my Marantz before I take it out of my Rack and spend time  , open her up just to figure out what I need is a big time waster. I called marantz they referred me to a svc Dept but they couldn't tell me either , Is there a way to figure out what I need to have it so I can do this project in one shot?? or maybe I have ceramic already and dont know it , breaking my rack down to figure out cant happen.

nickaboy1 OP ...

Go to Home Depot and buy an Orange Outlet as "Jea48" showed you in his post. It will be a nice upgrade that you will readily hear.

As to what most of us "in the know" are using, they are Synergistic Research "Orange" fuses. $150 per pop (no pun intended). Is $150 for a simple fuse expensive? Yes, but for what they do, they are well worth the money. 

Question ... If you have already come to the conclusion that "inexpensive ceramic fuses will do just fine," then what is the point of this thread?
