Aftermarket Fuses


Can I set the ground rules up front?? I hope so. There are two camps. One who can hear different audible reproduction using aftermarket fuses. The second camp can not justify in theory, or can not hear a difference in fuses. Fine. I respect both camps. Can we hold this discussion to those who can hear an audible difference in fuses?? Can we? If so, what is your choice in aftermarket fuses and describe, please, what you hear.

It would be so nice to have that political thread up and running. That way one could compare the logic and arguments used in defending one's position and see a correlation to how they're being used here.

One side's view is based on what's right in front of them to see and hear and the other is just saying nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Thanks for the link. Looks like Brimar is stepping up their game a bit. 
By the by, the regular $35 fuse is quite something on it's own and maybe the equal of some of the more expensive ones out there.

Are you sure the Brimar fuses are out of your price bracket? They are only $35 apiece, far below the $150 for the SR Blue and farther still below the Beeswax fuses. Maybe you were thinking of another brand?

I've only dealt with three different fuse brands: HiFi Tuning Silver Stars,
PADIS and now, Brimar. The Brimar, by a very large margin, bettered the other two. They sound like there's no fuse in the way of the music, just like the claims of the SR Black and Blue fuses. They even have similar treatment (cryo treatment and Quantum treatment) as the SR fuses, but lack any use of graphene, and go for the princely sum of $35 apiece. 

And, they do not exceed the recommended values of the fuses they replace and I get much better sound.

All the best,
