AudioMagic Fuses Bad Quality I Do Not Recommend!!

I bought 5 Audio Magic fuses about 20 years ago.  I used one in my amp and one in my preamp.  The rest have been just sitting in their boxes.  This week I looked at at the fuses that I had not used.  None of them still had any "nano" fluid in them.  Where did it go?  How did it disappear?

Big ripoff. 

Beeswax will ooze much more slowly than liquid, which is surely a good thing.

What purpose can that liquid possibly serve??!

If it's an electrolyte, it defeats the purpose of the fuse. That's just madness I tell you! Madness!!!

It's Jerry... the perennial IP theft machine the highest order.

This hack has been selling dangerous fuses since the dawn of modified fuse times.

Not surprised that he made something dangerous and..illegal. as in 'not certified for resale'. As it messes with the AC power section of a piece of hardware.. which, by definition, REQUIRES full testing and approval by agencies of the us federal government or it's appointed offices. After testing the approval must be prominent upon the given item that is for sale and for use in the direct AC power pathway.

AC fuses, AC power sockets, AC power switches, AC intended and utilized wiring, etc, all require government analysis, and applied testing (if deemed necessary), before gaining approval for sale to the public. One cannot just sell anything AC power related to the public, all willy-nilly.

Who in the blazes thinks it's a good idea to insert something full of liquid inside a piece of electronic gear??!

So, the liquid's coefficient of expansion exceeds that of the glass and metal, forcing the fluid out when the thing heats up? Great engineering.

The nano-liquid can get everywhere because, well, it's nano.

How much 'gush' can be in a tiny fuse?

If "stuff gushing out" I'd not be using the fuse, sounds like a hazard waiting to happen. Call the company and show pics and inform them if a fire happens you will file a law suit, that should make them replace the fuse for you.

A FUSE IS A FUSE IS A FUSE IS A FUSE

Just pay your 20c.for a normal standard properly built fuse, mass produced in their millions.

You can paint it red if it makes you feel better.

The end caps are falling apart, you can see stuff gushing out and i don’t know if it’s even safe?  Just bad craftsmanship!! 

Just to put my two cents in...I have used Audio Magic cables and conditioners for many years and have had nothing but positive interaction with Jerry.

What is the world coming to, when scam artists can't even have the decency to use a quality fuse to make their $225 Premier Bees Wax Super Fuse.

Audiophool defusing is remedied by purchasing good components/speakers  setup appropriately with realistic expectations.

A fuse assumably in its holder is starting to fall apart??

How exactly?

Another victim of the fuse swindlers! Stick to Buss/Littel fuses and save your money!

What do you mean it’s starting to fall apart?
