Fuses that matter.

I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.

@Wig-Ouch. Directional, huh?...and there are 5 in the Plinius SA201.
I may wait as I am considering a change to Electrocompaniet.

Budburma, I faced this some time ago. When the manufacturer could not or would not tell me the direction of the fuses, I used a meter to find the side of the fuse with the least resistance to the hot pin of the IEC. I figured that the direction of the fuse was from this side to the other. One manufacturer suggested that most designers used this convention.

It is still a pain to do but better than to have to switch each fuse and listen and on and on.

Anyone tried the new, and quite expensive, Synergistic Red? How does it compare to other "high-end" fuses? I am thinking of trying something better than the stock fuses in my Maggie 3.7´s....if there is such a thing as a better fuse???
