Do Fuses make a difference ib sound?
    I'm going to answer your question from the other side as I have not experimented with audiophile fuses.  I had been researching the topic when I came across posts, here, about slugs, rods of solid metal, in place of fuses and I went down that ... 
What are your Eureka Moments in this Hobby?
Replacing every fuse in my system with slugs was a BIG improvement in sound.  And the ability to voice my system by using different metals has brought my system quite a bit closer to my ideal at a much lower cost than experimenting with component ... 
Looking for info on KCI Koolcables Fireball cables
v-fi :   Yeah, there's a fair bit of info on several of their offerings, but I can't find anything on the Fireball cables.  Thanks    
I check the sites every day and it's never here!!!
Grover Huffman and Michael Wolff collaborated, I believe, for a while.  I have Huffman's Pharaoh balanced interconnects (I had him install Oyaide Focus1 xlr in place of the stock gold plated xlrs) and they're quite good. I had planned on getting t...

fastfreight:  Certainly have given that a try but always worth another; also have it saved on hifishark so should receive a notice if any are posted . Thanks  
Hi, any idea what BEL 1001 MKV goes for nowadays?
Try hifishark.com     Enter your item in the search.  I found several BEL 1001 MK V of various conditions.  Check the SOLD/EXPIRED tab

Thank you onhwy61   Eventually, I will try to get a few pics of my system up here.  Tried a few years ago and, even though it looked like the pics were loading, they never appeared anywhere so I gave up.  I'll look into it again.

Bro, my system is just fine the way it is.  The sound has been tailored to suit me and the cables are a major factor in having gotten here, slugs are the icing on the cake.  And the idea that I should upgrade my components and just wire them with ...

devinplombier:  I really hope mitch2 did not find my question about system detail resolution offensive.  It was definitely not intended to be, and you have misunderstood me on this issue.  There are a lot of fine systems out there that aren't focu...

mitch2:   After reading devinplombier's post, I would like to clarify that, by asking if your system is sufficiently resolving so as to display the differences between the stock fuses and the copper sluggos, that was not intended to be any sort of...

audioman58  To avoid damage, you can always use the Swiss Digital Fuse Box.  And I bought these various metals just as an experiment.  Tungsten has been used by a few reputable manufacturers with very good results.  The moly sound is quite musical...

I have extra copper, tungsten, and molybdenum slugs.  If you'd like to hear them, contact me and we should be able to work something out

larryi   I DO think the sluggos are altering the AC in a way that may sound better as in a coloration or somehow reduces some kind of distortion.  The first is obvious when the molys thicken the bass and midrange but what about the way the tungste...

fpomposo   I'd be interested in hearing what bypassing the fuse holder would do but I really have the feeling that the slug or SR fuses are doing something, and no idea what, that does change the sound beyond what bypassing would do.  That reducti...

mitch2   Would you consider your system to be sufficiently resolving to reveal the differences?   And, if you'd like to hear for yourself, I have extra tungsten and moly slugs
