Fuse replacement


Seeking for recommendation for fuses that make meaningful sound improvement...  Thanks.

@johnss  It seems all the caps used inside Hestia are of good quality.  I am not sure though how good the bypass caps reject HF AC noise. (don't know where it is located honestly).  All the power cores I am using now are under $100 but has tested having good quality of EMI/RFI noise shielding and 10-14 gauges.  I just want to make sure external noise won't bleed into it and the internal noise is shielded tight without polluting other component.  PC is one of the two cables I still have hard time to hear the differences as many other claimed.

@lordmelton Hi FI Tuning fuses are great for Power Amps.

This is something attracting my attention.  Would you articulate that why Hi-Fi Tuning fuses are great for power amp and (you seem to imply) not so great for a preamp which also utilize a transformer for PS.  Thx.

@vthokie83  I will do some more digging into the CPC version to find out why it yields greater resolution and sharper attack despite its relatively lower conductivity—a question I have raised before. In any case, the price is attractive, and appreciate your positive experience sharing with it.

@lanx0003 The reasons I would recommend HIFI Tuning Fuses for power amplifiers are because they are excellent fuses at a price. Some power amps take half a dozen fuses and that cost is prohibitive if using SR fuses. Plus if any fuse is going to blow,  most likely it'll be in the power amp.

I use SR Pink fuses on my pre-amp, the current is much lower and usually only one or two fuses are required. 

SR just announced a deal for June on Masterfuses. Buy one get one at half price.

Probably very rare, but I greatly dislike the idea of replacing a burned out expensive audiophile fuse with another - one and done is my comfort zone.
