FUSES, Finally!?

cerberus79
A few months ago I purchased a used pair of speakers from another Agon member.
To my surprise all the fuses were Orange fuses. I listened to them and then to satisfy my curiosity I replaced them with ordinary buss fuses and could not hear a difference.
I did this test with a bunch of friends and neither I or them could hear a difference. Kind of just says it all doesn't it?

To those non technical thinking of purchasing these $$$ fuses. Just save your $150+ and do this instead.

A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).

To those "non technical" members that are interested in "maybe" wasting their money, do not listen to the non-technical, listen to the technicians of this industry that design the audio products you have and listen to. AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH WHAT SAID HERE ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!
Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK (even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)

I’ve got stuff that can be dabbed on any ordinary fuse that will make it a whole lot better. Synergistic fuses have a gray blob on there that they specifically instruct you not to remove. Is no one curious why the gray blob matters? Buy some of their outlets you will find the same gray goo blob on their outlet terminals.

This is the kind of snake oil voodoo that fusers just love, the unexplainable furphy’s.

Maybe they are Scientology’s infiltration weapon into audio sector, to slowly do some recruiting of the many gullible in audio? That grey blob of could be a secrete concoction that L Ron Hubbard devised as a virus, to make you more susceptible to their persuasion’s.

nonoise  I don’t see how his posts aren’t automatically removed for the bile and insults he constantly uses.

danvignau O I did not find Georgie to be so demeaning. I agree with him

Thanks dan, he only said that because he put himself into the snake oil group I was generalizing about, that also say AC fuses are directional.

Cheers George

What would be something not too expensive that would be a good start.

Just buy a bunch of new Bussman fuses for a dollar each, clean all the fuse contact holders and squeeze them together for a stronger hold on the fuse.
Don’t be a "gullible sucker" and buy any fuse over a couple of bucks each

Just re-new your fuse with the same amperage if it’s old and has seen many turn on cycles, with a quality one like Bussman or Littlefuse and clean the cradle fuse contacts and maybe squeeze them in a little for a tight fit. And definitely don’t be sucked into any $$$ boutique hifi fuses

Just change the fuse if old for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age after many turn on cycle surges.

Quick blow fuses aging and slow blow fuses aging left to right.
