fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones


My Rogue Cronus recently blew a slow blow fuse. I was surfing to find a replacement. The stock fuse is a typical metal end cap, glass and "wire" fuse. The audio emporiums only seemed to offer these $39 German gold plated end wunderkinds. I finally found "normal" fuses from a guitar amp site. Has anyone tried the uber fuses and found the sound better? Hard to understand how it could be. Thanks for any thoughts.

I bought the uber fuse for my MC402 with the stock power cord and heard the difference.

The difference isn't as great as what I've heard between different brands of $400/1meter pair of interconnects, but then it was only 1/10 the cost and it is an improvement.

With only one fuse needed, I think it was worth it. I will purchase another one for my phono section in the future. Think of it as one monthly payment on a satellite TV or cell phone bill. This is from a cheapskate who doesn't have either.

Relax, have a homebrew and listen to some Lee Morgan...
