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

I know SR fuses were on sale a month or so ago. Buy 2, get 1 free.

You get 30 days to try them out and if you don't hear a difference, you can return them (as long as you don't blown them).

All I can say is......I tried a couple of SR Orange fuses in my system (1 in the amp, 1 in the preamp), and was blown away by the difference in sound.

In my instance, the preamp fuse change made the most difference.
The amp fuse change DID make a difference, but it was much more subtle.
