I use magnets that are cryo treated they are great. Ride at your own risk. Last fuse blown was 35 years ago and 3 houses past. ARC SP11..

FUSES, Finally!?
I have been adamant about avoiding special fuses, because of the lack of empirical studies. Here is my question: What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start. I use three dual mono Audire amps (for Woofs, Mids and Tweets, and Subs, each of the six channel having four fuses. I would not not want to spend thousands, even if I could, just to experiment. My heat sinks do unplug, along with the outputs, and I could try just one channel or one amp. Paul of PS mentioned what they use, and that might eventually be a possibility, but what do you guys (and gals?) think I should do, to just to convince this ageing skeptic? Also, each channel of my amps has one single, dedicated computer chip that regulates the filling of the 4 26,000 mf caps (per channel), which might make any difference less than a design that allows a flood of electrons into the tank, presuming that might matter.

Here is what I saw..they appear to be physically to small for most uses I have.. https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/products/570-05-akiko-audio-cylindric-fuse-cartridge-english The fuses shown are described and look much like the Acme fuses sold out of Seattle. Inexpensive cryod silver and ceramic version which actually sound very good. I would go to the next higher value if your unit has a lot of in rush at turn on. Tom |
Transformers generate resonance as do all stationary electronic signal parts and all moving parts. The fact that all your components are made of many metal and many more plastic types they all have a different resonance of shape and time..That interfering energy will become part of the sound of the device even if it is located out of the listening space. Most resonance is self generated. Tom |
