I saw a similar breaker and fuse combo on a German website years ago..and now backround photo of something similar on the Chinese site selling the $2200 fuses. The breakers if they fit would be most welcome in my audio room breaker box. I will find out more and let it be known. Thanks Tom
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 |
Yup. Those are the ones I saw before. I always thought it’d be nice if they could be used here, stateside. And, thanks for the heads up on the Acme Audio fuses. Their price is very reasonable so I bookmarked it for future reference. In fact, I may try them soon. https://acmeaudiolabs.com/products All the best, Nonoise |
The main reason I have been such a fuse skeptic is that I assumed the fuses were not in the audio path. The ones in my amps certainly do not seem to be. I did used to use in line speaker wire fuses for my Phase Linear 400 powered Advents, but that was nearly 50 years ago. The NASA Apollo circuit breakers I mentioned are really only used as power switches. They are really robust. I do agree, right or wrong for now, that the bass should be least affected. |
