Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?

I have no idea if the $2844 red/black fuse is worth it. Who cares, though, the $71 light blue one is insane! I just got one in, and put it in my CD transport. It blows the SR blue, treated with Total Contact, that it replaced completely out of the water! I actually ordered the $28.50 black, but Michael at Tweek Geek got shorted some blacks in his first order, so he did the classy thing and upgraded me to the light blue at no charge.

If your mind can entertain even the slightest possibility that there could be something to these fuses, then you owe it to yourself to try one. That’s all I have to say about that.

Ordered two more light blue fuses for my DAC and amp. The next step up, yellow, is $212, so, I don’t see myself trying those anytime soon. Someone else will have to try one, and report back ;) I am very happy with the light blue, though. If it does similar things to what it does in my transport, in my DAC & amp, I will be a happy camper.

What I am hearing is; voices & instruments are more solid and lifelike, with increased natural detail and sense of space, better dynamics, and a more relaxed overall sound.

One last note: For those of you who have PPT products in your system, these seem to play very nicely with them ;)

“Is there a 30-day return policy on the yellow one?”

At least from Tweek Geek, yes.

“Tommy were these fuses placed on the ac side of things or on the dc side”

AC

Just got in a second light blue fuse for my DAC. So far, more of the same improvements I got in my CD transport. Very nice!😃 One thing I appreciate is the break in seems to be pretty quick, without any of the nasties you get with some other stuff. Pop it in, and you’ll hear improvements in short order, at least that’s been my experience.

The next one for my amp will be on its way as soon as Tweek Geek gets their next shipment. Can’t wait!

SR fuses (black, blue, orange) are the only other ones I have experience with. The light blue QSAs in my transport and DAC pretty much blew away the SR blues they replaced. I suspect it will easily better the SR orange, as well, but I haven’t done that direct comparison yet. I have an SR orange in my amp currently, so I will know when I get in the next light blue to replace it.

Fuses are there for a reason! I've never bypassed a fuse, even briefly for testing, nor do I intend to. I know some can't wrap their brain around the idea, but I think it’s possible to treat a fuse in some way, and have it actually sound better than no fuse. I’ve never tested this myself, so I have no way of knowing for sure. Feel free to call me crazy (I'm sure some will, regardless😉)

I will be receiving a blue for my amp on Monday or Tuesday. Can’t wait!
