HiFI Fuses ?


Wow. I got out of this addicting hobby about a year ago. It took a lot but I did it. Still think back sometimes. But the thrill is gone. I am using old crap stuff right now and for the last year. Sold my gear and running Vandersteen 2c and Musical Fidelity electronics. Boring. Fine.
Just got a copy of Music Direct catalog. Now they have advanced HiFi fuses that will improve the sound.
My god I miss this type of stuff. I could have a field day with this type of info here at AG.
Wonder how much they cost :)

I recently put two of these in my processor and after letting them burn in a week I did an a/b two different times. The results where nice with the overly expensive fuse.

Things are just more polished...smoother overall.

Is it worth the price. It was for me, but are the excessive price for cables worth the price. Well, that makes these fuses in my system a good deal, at least compared to these ludicris prices for cables we are made to pay to have good sound

Happy listening
>>prices for cables we are made to pay to have good sound<<

Expensive power cords are only as good as the ac power and grounding systems in place.

After market power cords can provide a tremendous improvement in some applications and do absolutely nothing in others.
I agree audiofeil.

The powercords I put in my system are good. If I wanna uprade from what I have I now have to spend 3 plus thousand a cable...just to much for any common man. Not sure if cable companys know we have other lives, like spending money on home repairs/upgrades, children, car expenses, with a continued long list.

Point is, if I wanna be in the arena of high end audio and upgrade, its just not phesable for a common man and still live a normal life. So the cable companys in my opinion have just left out a huge part of the audio people. This is just my opinion, but it seems practical to me.

We all know these cables are so overpriced!

Sorry guys. Yes, I am venting cause it leaves me SOOOO frustrated at this overpriced industry.

Happy listening...
I have replaced the stock fuses in my system with the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses in my Ayre C-5xe, Aesthetix Calypso, and my YBA Alpha2 amplifier.

The result of changing the fuses in the Ayre and the Aesthetix resulted in greater detail and upper end extension without added etch or glare. The effect was subtle but still worthwhile. Please note that the fuses needed to be burned in for about two days (before the burn in...etch/glare!).

When I finally changed the fuses for the YBA amplifier, the effect was definitely more noticeable: much wider soundstage, more air and transparency...The overall effect was a much greater sense of three dimensionality (again, without added etch or glare).

Would I recommend the fuses. YES!

I bought one from FatWyre (the Cable co.). I'm a big skeptic about some of this HiFi "magic". BUT I did think it made a difference....clarity, definition...better sound overall. Can I prove it? Probly not...but I still think it sounds better and for 30 bucks, that's good enough.
