NEW PROTOTYPE FUSES COMING >>>


I’ve been asked to evaluate/beta test some new fuses that will be coming out soon. I should have them as soon as this coming Saturday.

At this point:

1. I cannot reveal the name of the manufacturer of the fuses.
2. I do not know what the retail price will be.
3. I do not know what the name of the fuse will be.

For comparison purposes, I have a full complement of SR Orange fuses that can be used throughout the system. I have one QSA Yellow fuse now being used in my ARC-PH8 phono stage, with another one to arrive soon to be used in my ARC REF-75se.

I’ll be comparing the SR Orange fuses, and the QSA fuses, with the new prototype fuses. I’ll also be using the ears of three of my well-seasoned audiophile friends, as well as my own to make the evaluations. These guys are all truth-tellers that I have full confidence in.

According to the manufacturer, these new fuses are real game-changers, so stay tuned.

I‘m sure Frank will act impartially with an open mind seeking to eliminate any preconceptions or bias: terms which seem to be totally alien to our resident curmudgeon
George, you finally got me: what we retailers actually do is re-colour them then wipe the ends with Caig Gold. Works every time !!!!! Unfortunately the Côte d’Azure has become so tiresome of late.,,,,,
@tsushima1 : So what you were saying is BS. You are actually stating that fuses that do not meet BS1363 invalidate an insurance claim, if the appliance were fitted therewith.

How do you know how many standard and so called audiophile fuses meet or exceed these specifications? There is so much Chinese junk in the supply chain that if you actually tested them against spec I reckon the audiophile ones might fare pretty well.
@tsushima1 you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Replacing a fuse with an identically rated fuse, whether it is standard or so called audiophile is hardly a capital offence.

Get a grip on reality ! 

BS please provide hard data to substantiate your outlandish claim.
The whole concept of an insurance investigator delving into the impact of so called audiophile fuses on the profitability of their company beggars belief.
Sorry, forgot to ask _ why does any so called audiophile fuse automatically fail to achieve BS1362?
PS: I listened until 1:30 in the morning, and believe it or not, nothing caught on fire. :-)
Concrete proof that miracles do indeed occur………

Loving your journey Frank, enjoying the trip.
Fuses seem like …well hind tit….
@tomic601, You have sent my analytical skills into overdrive !!!
