HiFI Fuses ?

Do fuses make a difference?

It's deja vu all over again.

PS. Also see "is there a difference in interconnects, speaker wire, and power cords".

Have fun.

I have tried the HI FI tuning fuses in my Audio Aero Capitole MKIISE and my Audio Aero Trans Trac tube amp.
While they do make the sound more clear and cleaner sounding in my system it was too much and reduced the warmth and beauty of the music into....well something my ears didn't like.Some systems need some opening up. Mine is very musical and tweaked to the limit so it doesn't take much to screw things up, but then cables ,power cords ,etc.can also kill a good thing even very expensive cables.
That being said YMMV.
For $25 they are still worth a try.

Well since I am the last entry ,I'll give the fuses thread another crack.
After some cabling changes that worked out very nicely ,I figured I would give the fuses a go again and 'never say never' they work out very well with this configuration.

So I have come to the conclusion that everything is a tweak except for equipment changes.Only took 30+ years to figure that out.

Cables , isolation devices , power conditioners all fall into the tweak catagory.

Course if I had kept all the power cords and ic's I bought and sold over the years....

I use these fuses with my preamp and i noticed a darker background and slightly clearer sound. As peterd said, this is just a tweak so dont expect major changes. I wish i could try them with my cdp and amps but the fuses are internal and I do not feel like opening them up.

I tried these fuses and they do make a difference, although I am not sure if it is an improvement.

I actually gave up using them after a while...not because they don't work....but because I found they kept falling out when I moved around. (BTW, the directional fuses sound best with the arrow pointing towards the ear drum and lightly touching it. I'd also recommend some Q tips before installation; the first time I tried this, one fuse got stuck for a week and my wife couldn't understand why I kept ignoring her at the dinner table!)
