High Quality Fuses: Real Gains?


All:

I'm generally suspicious of "tweaks" but I had an interesting conversation with a service representative from one of the major audiophile companies about the potential benefits of replacing stock fuses with higher quality ones like the HiFi Tuning brand. I thought he would dismiss the potential gains of using an "audiophile" fuse but he affirmed that they might actually produce audible improvements since all the current must travel through this junction. He also admitted that the stock fuses they use are pretty ordinary throwaways. So, have any of you used these and if so what were the results? Are there brands other than HiFi Tuning that are worth considering? I should have probably checked the archives so if this has been debated already sorry to bring it up.

I have been a naysayer all along about the effects that upgraded fuses would have. Well, that's about to change.

I am going to try one of the Furutech fuses in my new preamp. I have done quite a bit of research and was going to try one of the HiFi tuning fuses, but everything I've read says that the Furutech are supposed to be better.

I'll report back on my findings after I've had awhile with the new preamp and fuse...
