which audiophile fuse for the audiolab 6000 cdt ????

1971gto455ho, well we can't all agree on the same thing on this forum. ;)

 

and you think it's laughable, well you'd really laugh when you see my receipt for the acme fuse ! ;)

 

but yes i want to buy another fuse. and i do hear a difference, ;)

 

joeycastillo, thanks immensely for your words and telling of your experiences. :)

 

and now for a plot twist...

anyway, i'm one of the masses to have picked up a used  6000cdt.

 

and checking, the fuse in it is a T1L 250V.

i've had no problems with it. but that's obviously not the value audiolab mentions in the manual or on the back of the player. no idea if the seller changed things. maybe ?

but this value has worked with zero issues. hmm..

is this fuse better ?

 

anyway when i tried to get a few T1AL 250V from the ebay seller.

 

they initially sent a few T1A 250V. i contacted them and mentioned the wrong fuse value was sent.

 

and i got a reply from them that the T1A 250V was actually better and also offered broader coverage. don't know if i can trust that. but knowing nothing about fuses.

 

but yeah they did send the fuses i  wanted after telling them of their error.

 

anyway this has been quite the adventure. the power of fuses...

 

and again thanks everyone for the replies. :)

Here ya go:

Breakdown of the Fuse Code:

• T = Time-delay (slow blow)

  • This means it's designed to tolerate temporary current surges (like those at power-on), and only blow if the overcurrent persists.

• 1A = Rated current of 1 ampere

• L = Low breaking capacity (also known as low interrupting rating)

  • Suitable for circuits where a high fault current is not expected.

• 250V = Maximum voltage rating is 250 volts

thank you barts, i’m going to have to try to absorb this info.

 

*gulp* ;)

 

but i don't think i've seen audiophile fuses for the size i need in either a T1L 250v nor the "infamous" T1AL 250V.

 

oh well being an audiophile is never easy. again barts, thanks for the wave of knowledge.

So

what do you hear with an audiophile fuse in the 6000cdt? When are we going to get the updates. 

hey @audphile1 , which digital cable(s) are you using on your 6000cdt?
