Never have so many been so deluded about a small piece of wire!

Some fuse makers(ie: Synergistic) offer a free trial period, so- you’ve nothing to lose, by ACTUALLY TRYING their products(unlike MOST neigh-sayers). Listening to them, in your own system and with your own ears, is the only way to know if you can hear an improvement, worth the investment. I use Hi-Fi Tuning Supremes, in everything but my Maggies(in which I’ve always bypassed the links and fuse holders). In every application, upgraded fuses have made an audible uptick in performance. You can see an example of a return policy, here: http://www.synergisticresearch.com/fuses/blue/ If the neigh-sayers had their way, NO ONE would be trying ANYTHING that doesn’t fit THEIR way of seeing things. They’re quick to voice their(generally) untested opinions though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdCxHJIYz8I |
I have heard a difference between fuses, mostly for the better. But, I do think prices have gone a bit too high. Also, some of these designs are not UL spec'd. So, I would be concerned that they would trip when required to- and save the equipment they were supposed to protect. I second the recommendation for HiFi Tuning fuses. B |
My experience most Audio Stores don’t push tweaks too much or have a lot of experience with them, so good luck there. I’ve also found many manufacturers haven’t tried them or feel they didn’t make a difference but I found on my gear they did; I think they just want to stay out of the debate. I’m from the camp fuses do make an improvement and run SR Blacks. Bought mine from VH Audio with the free trial period so no risk. Being a former Magnepan owner and having blown a few fuses myself on them it could be a costly thing if you blow them here and there. I’d suggest if you try them to bump them up a bit but be careful. Are the stock fuses Fast Blow, if so maybe Slow Blow would be the way to go. I don’t recall what the stock ones are. |
