Na, just the same fuser snake oil s**t
LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality
After doing some research I found Littlefuse sells AUDIO/MEDICAL quality fuses Series 285
they are all slo-blow, buy come in various sizes including 5x20
With the cost being less than $10, has anybody tried these over $100 "Audiophile" brands?

"So why is there a belief that speaker cables and interconnects are not thought to be the same?Really!! you really don’t know, they have EE laws and measurements, things like resistance, inductance, and capacitance. A fuse is just a 1/2" of piece or wire in a glass tube with none of these measurements that mean anything, just like all the pcb tracks on a circuit board inside you audio equipment. The TRUTH might actually set you free. Your ears and a Satisfaction Guarantee are the greatest danger to their cult’s existenceAll fusers have is expectation bias, from spending >$160 on a 50c fuse |
This is a hobbyist’s site, not a scientific forumIt’s also not a "snake oil" or "voodoo" forum. BTW It’s in the "Technical forum"! Everyone’s pieces of audio equipment was designed by "Electronic Engineers" that used all the laws of electronics to design and measure them, and if you have any piece that wasn’t, your a fool for buying it. Show one of these "EE’s" statements that back up the "sound differences" heard by the snake oil fusers here. @Admin is it possible for Audiogon to have a new forum called, "Snake Oil" forum for those strange expensive products that some say they can hear huge benefits, that can’t be explained by respected Audio Engineers.

You really have no idea, do you. At 23 posts all about fuses your heading down the wrong path . Myself and others here have tried to give you good info, and you tossed it away because it went against the voodoo snake oil fusers rubbish that you really wanted to hear, and got angry about it, your just another sorry fuser, who can’t see the forest through the trees, goodby. |
Like the Amish where technology ended in the 1850s, technology ended for you in the 1970s?What now you think stiff power supplies don't matter in amps. https://ibb.co/FHrQJmM https://ibb.co/ZV5ZfkP |
Let others who have the experience with power conditioners provide content. I said power conditioners are good for source equipment sunshine. But like I said an amp to sound it's best especially in the bass it's power supply has to be as stiff as it can be. By adding any sort of power conditioner between it and the wall outlet introduces some series resistance and reduces that stiffness further. Remember forest and trees. |
I holding off on the fuses for a few months. In order to upgrade my power condition system to Shunyata Delta with cables first.I know this will go over your head, and someone will put some "snake oil" spin on it, but here goes. Do not put your amp/s on this power conditioning, as it will introduce a series resistance, and the whole point of have a very stiff "unregulated" amp power supply, means the lowest possible series resistance between the amps supply caps/output transistors and the wall outlet. Ok for source equipment though, as they have regulated supplies and don’t really see that series resistance |
aubreybobb9 posts (quote "Every true Audiophile I know is almost certainly certifiable. 😇😇😎" ) brubin OP15 posts Why is it the fusers with hardly any posting history on something really meaningful in audio, are the most prolific posters when it comes to "snake oil" fuses. |
I’ll save you the trouble of checking his posts. He has never tried a "premium" fuseGot me there sunshine, I have never tried one. But I was present when an SR "Blue" was put into this https://ibb.co/6XK5dxX by the owner on his Thiel 3.7's and no one could pick a difference. He even tried to trick us by not putting it in the first time he said he did. |

LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL QualityI service some of these, and yes there are fast blow and slow blow fuses that have thicker stronger glass tubes, when they blow they don’t shatter and send shards of glass everywhere, this is why they are used, but they use the same internal fuse element. So if you fusers believe the thicker glass does some snake oil effect for the sound, in Aussie slang all I can say is, goodonya! Cheers George |
