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 love the directional fuse guys the best, because it is akin to wearing putting a swastika tattoo: It lets people know where you stand.  
What a sick and disgusting thing to say. Remind me not to come to your defense when the objectivists fall on you like a ton of bricks for saying you do hear a difference when you try it.

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.
Thanks, Georgie, for validating what I said about you. 👍
You're Santa's little helper, for sure.

Yup. Those are the ones I saw before. I always thought it’d be nice if they could be used here, stateside.

And, thanks for the heads up on the Acme Audio fuses. Their price is very reasonable so I bookmarked it for future reference. In fact, I may try them soon.

Hello theaudiotweak, I'm right here, in LA. It's just that I've sourced low cost fuses from Europe and Asia before so it's no biggie to go there. 

What I didn't know is that those breakers work over here. I've know of them for some time but thought they were proprietary for use over in Europe.

All the best,

You could try these at about $13 a pop:https://www.akikoaudio.com/en/other-brands/wilbrand-acoustics/528-wilbrand-acoustics-silver-fuse

I can’t vouch for them as I’ve never tried them but for the price of entry, not bad. If not, try and source some HiFi Tuning Silver Stars or Gold on eBay.

And don’t pay any attention to Georgie. As you can see, he can’t be civil right from the start. I don’t see how his posts aren’t automatically removed for the bile and insults he constantly uses. He’s not all there.

All the best,
Nonoise
