The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
But tweaks aren’t voodoChanging a fuse is not a tweak, if it needs to be changed, it's either one blown or two so aged because of switch on surges it’s bent up and carbonized. And just needs to be changed with the same $2 one, not a voodoo >$100 one.

For those who still refuse to "know" how an aftermarket fuse works: HRC Fuse consists of highly heat resistant material (such as ceramic) body having metal-end caps, which is welded by silver current carrying element. The fuse body internal space is completely packed with a filling powder. The material, which has filled the insider space, may be plaster of Paris, quartz, chalk, marble, dust and cooling mediums etc. That’s why it carries normal current without overheating. The heat being produced vaporizes the silver melted element. Chemical reaction taking place between silver vapor and filling powder results in high resistance substance, which helps in quenching the arc in fuse. and,
This is from a normal site on fuses, based on years old knowledge, and available to anyone who would care to look at it. But that would be akin to actually trying it, wouldn't it? All the best, Nonoise |
You really are professed non technical audiophile, this has nothing whatsoever to do with audio and it's sound, it's more to do with longevity and resistance to corroding, caused by age and many switch on surges just like this.

mitch2 Oops, I didn’t see Geoff’s post about how to determine the real engineers from the pretend (?) engineers, by finding out who knows "exactly why these fancy fuses work." Sort of a present-day variation on finding out who the witches are by holding them under water. >>>>A man should be judged by his actions not his words. But since pseudo skeptics never actionally DO anything, we’re left to judge them by their words, and I paraphrase, “Golly, I don’t know how these fancy fuses work.” |

Just think of all the money you can save by getting something like a Bussman fuse. I know that $4 is pretty heady stuff, to be sure, but it would cost less than what you’re accustomed to paying, considering how many times you’ve told us you replace those cheaper fuses. And, you wouldn’t have the ability to show how it doesn’t age due to it’s ceramic body, but at least we’d be spared that same, boring slideshow you keep linking to. 👍 All the best, Nonoise |
