this may sound crazy, but has anybody A-B’d these things against a soldered wire connection to see if they are actually carrying out some kind of enhancement function akin to Bybee bullets, (which are in essence just a thin piece of foo foo wire located within an RCA plug)?

Beeswax does not have this problem.

replacing fuses with beeswax - sounds novel, will earwax do ?

And it‘s always the same person. Stoically cyberstalking all wayward fusers into eventual submission, salvation and redemption.
how many cut and paste moderator deletes on this thread to date George? I have lost count. Your egocentric mania has escalated and is currently out of control.

@tsushima1, The entire tone of your post was derisional and of no positive contribution to the discussion at hand, If your your question was indeed rhetorical, that fact lends credence to this argument.


Trying to take over where somebody left off? Siberia is awful cold.
But I can tell your Maggies will sound a touch better with just a piece of copper wire soldered lightly outside of the fuse clamps and no fuses. This makes them vulnerable to an amp blowing and going dc, as you know having electronic knowledge background, but no more so than any other speaker would have no dc protection either.
George, for once I actually agree with you. Bypassing speaker fuses can have clearly audible benefits. However manufacturer‘s warranties go out the window, and you are taking a gamble, especially if your amp is underpowered or remotely unstable.

I took the gamble and it was well worthwhile to me.
If you are an experienced audiophile with an intimate knowledge of your equipment‘s driving ability and volume capabilities. I would endorse the replacement of speaker fuses by a direct bypass rather than an audiophile fuse. Having owned many unfused speakers I am totally unconvinced of their necessity in the signal chain.

Never had a bypassed speaker fail. Just a whole lot better sound.
George, please invest in a good pair of reading glasses before releasing your next vitriolic assault.

Your outright hostility prevents you from engaging in any intelligent discourse. Please stop polluting this site George.
I wouldn't recommend bypassing a fuse if the manufacturer has one in line.
You do what you think is best, though.
Fine by me……
Biggest improvement I have ever obtained In the power supply chain was when I purchased a 240:240 isolation transformer on a local audiophile trading site. It is an industrial unit with at least 750W capacity. The improvement to digital playback is quite obvious. Just a layer of hash removed and improved clarity. This thing even works wonders on my Robertson power amp, which is a great surprise, since any previous forms of power conditioning on amplifiers have proved counter productive.

Its use with other power amps has proven unsuccessful. Probably due to its limited capacity.





Couldn’t agree with you more George - causes significant dynamic compression on virtually alll power amps. Why it works with the Robertson is beyond my comprehension.
