Do fuses make a difference in the sound?

If the sound is affected by .5" of wire in the power lead the designer of the power supply is incompetent.

 

@xmbw4 how do you know @jhnnrrs hasn't tried them?

I have, and I tend to agree so based on my personal experience with a few fuses and cables from SR, I will not buy anything else from them.

Of course YMMV.  

@chiefsteward1 IMO no, but why not try them from The Cable Co. as suggested if you really want to find out.

Personally I'm done chasing tweaks that promise instant gratification (or require 100's of hours of break in time - oh crap, the return window closed).

Right now all my resources are focused on acoustics. I'm shocked at how many measurable issues I have with the space, with a system that sounds pretty darn good to me as is.

A device protection solution that serves as an alternative to fuses:

Re settable, like the Digital Fuse Box.

 

@xmbw4 You say you've done blind testing.  You had to shut down the amp, replace the fuse, turn the amp back on, wait for it to stabilize, listen again, and repeat.  Is your aural memory so good that you can remember incredibly subtle details that long?  Or is it just that you're inventing those subtle details.  

For me, as someone trained in electronics who knows what goes between a fuse and the audio producing circuitry, I know there is no way the fuse will make a difference.  I don't need to bang my head against a wall to know that it will hurt.
