Popped in A HifiTuning Supreme Cu and it was terrible, harsh, unnatural, sibilant... then, I changed the orientation and, voila, an immediate change in sound. After a day of usage, I experienced an unmistakable improvement in harmonic saturation, accuracy, detail and clarity over the stock Littelfuse. Soundstage is comparatively frontal and closed in but I hope for continued improvement as it burns in. I'm a believer.
Fuse replacement in the Exposure 2010S integrated amplifier
Has anyone experimented with swapping the fuse in the Exposure 20110S integrated amplifier for an "audiophile" one like a Synergistic Blue or HifiTuning Supreme CU, etc? A representative from the company claims it's a waste of money. I'm not interested in an ideological discussion, only empirical evidence.
