FUSES, Finally!?


     I have been adamant about avoiding special fuses, because of the lack of empirical studies.  Here is my question:  What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start.  I use three dual mono Audire amps (for Woofs, Mids and Tweets, and Subs, each of the six channel having four fuses.  I would not not want to spend thousands, even if I could, just to experiment.  My heat sinks do unplug, along with the outputs, and I could try just one channel or one amp.  Paul of PS mentioned what they use, and that might eventually be a possibility, but what do you guys (and gals?) think I should do, to just to convince this ageing skeptic?  Also, each channel of my amps has one single, dedicated computer chip that regulates the filling of the 4 26,000 mf caps (per channel), which might make any difference less than a design that allows a flood of electrons into the tank, presuming that might matter.  DanV

Fuses do NOT contribute to the sound in any way AT ALL.  They will keep your insurance company happy however.

Do not believe the superhumans on this thread who claim they can hear a difference.

For courtesy to the believers, I have tested them many times.  Not even the most sophisticated measuring equipment saw any difference.

Just keep the fuse contacts clean (otherwise, it generates heat, and still does NOT make any difference to the sound) and spend your money elsewhere.

There is only resistance, capacitance & inductance in everything electronic.  There is no other magic.
