Fuses that matter.


I have tried six different fuses, including some that were claimed to not be directional. I have long used the IsoClean fuses as the best I have heard. No longer! I just got two 10 amp slow-blows WiFi Tuning Supreme fuses that really cost too much but do make a major difference in my sound. I still don't understand how a fuse or its direction can alter sound reproduction for the better, but they do and the Supreme is indeed! I hear more detail in the recordings giving me a more holographic image. I also hear more of the top and bottom ends. If only you could buy them for a couple of bucks each.

Hi,the fuses that are getting user rave reviews are the synergistic research quatum fuses,thou I am not a fan of their cables,It is said that these fuses are the best available,I am going to try them in the Ayon cd-2s digital player,that has alot of fuses,unfortunally they are exspensive!,neither less,I am going to get some of these fuses,I am skeptical my self that fuses improve the sound,they do come with a money back guarantee,the dealer that sells these fuses also sells the brand called tuning fuses,the dealer says this is the best to them,this dealer sells both brands here on audiogon,actually somebody here on the digital forums recommended this synergistic research fuses to me,so upon further research,I have narrowed the fuse hoopla to this one!cheers!
wow!what are fuse chips gentlemen?,how are they used and what is the purpose of them?thankyou,cheers!
interesting Hifial, I may give some of the red fuses a spinn in my modded krell 700cx amp, and futher the modds by doing so, cheers.
Hi everyone, question, 250 volt 1 amp glass fuse is a fast blow fuse?, the fuse has a straight wire that is not spring looking, however, the fuse is full size, not the smaller of the pics that is on the site of the red fuses, man, I would need four for the amplifier!
Thankyou Rodman99999, I will input the SR quantum Reds in my amplifier,I will be absolute as to what, fast blow or slow blow, I am thinking fast blow, I will listen to krell as to what this amp has to have, As I am going to make my modded krell 700cx one of a kind to my likeing, I have already got different total capacitors in this amp, I expected a subtle difference there, I was corrected to having a substantial difference with sound quality, most notably, the resolutution is unlike any krell I have ever owned before, let's put it this way, with the incredible air and 3-dimensional sound I am getting on this resolution, I would be purly impressed to find the SR Red fuses to improve upon that, oh yeah, I am batting for the REDs, bring it!
Hi Geoffkait, Do you really believe that fuses would be directional?, I will need four of the SR Reds to go into my krell 700cx, the reply from krell when I asked them about these fuses being directional,quote, you read to much into this, it does not matter which way the fuses go in your amp, end quote, However, I would like to know how I can decide which way the fuses set inside my amplifier to sound best?, It is my opinion that the manufacturer does not know everything concerning fuses after that reply to me, are do you think that they are correct concerning their product?
It seems the best bet would leave my top plate off my amp, and do listening test as to what may sound better by flipping the fuse's one way to the other to get best results instead of testing resistance of each side, I have bad luck, I would likly make the mistake checking resisance with the amp on and up in smoke everything would go?,listening would be my best bet, informative post here, enjoyable to read and learn from, carry on gentleman, cheers.
Thankyou Geoffkait and TBG, Sgordon1, you gentleman were very helpful, this will be my first attempt with fuses, that is why I am asking about them, I believe the both of you, cables are directional most of the time, why not the wire in fuses?, makes sence to me, however, I agree with TBG and would like to know why this is so with fuses, do any of you believe that the wrong direction can cause damage to the unit?, hope not, cheers.
Thankyou Rodman99999 and Geoffkait for your advice, listening to one fuse at a time, and flipping one way to the other sounds good to me, I need 4 of these SR-reds, However, I am still waiting on Krell to tell me what my 250 volts 1-amp fuses are?, slow blow or fast blow?, for my Krell 700cx stereo amplifier, cheers gentleman.
I found out that I have to have fast blow fuses for my amp, however, the SR Reds only come in 500 volts 1-amp!, my fuses are 250 volts 1-amp, will this matter!
Hi TBG, Elliot of Synerchistic Research said the the new top of the line fuses, the SR Reds only come in 500 volts, you can go to vh-audio web site too, there you will see the same specification, Elliot did say that the 500 volts would not matter, just the 1-amp like JWM has said, however, when it comes to my amp that I love and have to much money into, it's best for me to get many second opinions, cheers.
Thankyou Knghifi for giving that info on what to listen for when doing listening test on these SR Red fuses, that was alot of help,cheers.
