Quick and free fuse tweak

I read about this once but tonight I tried it and was very impressed with the result. More pling from piano, more thwak from slapped acoustic bass, increased detail and space around performers.

Wrap a short piece of cream-colored masking tape once around the glass portion of a regular AC power fuse making sure not to touch the metal caps. I left a millimeter gap.

I think some purple tape would be awesome sauce!

Beat Ted Denney to "The Purple Fuse" and retire happily on the proceeds!

Actually egg cartons REALLY do work well, at least in a pro audio situation.
When we converted half of my garage in England back in early 80,s to a practice room/ recording studio it always sounded hollow and harsh.
I read somewhere at the time of applying egg cartons to walls and ceilings for acoustical treatment on the cheap.
I used to get the wholesale size 24 count square trays not the carton. 4 large head short roofing tacks and it did not take long to fully line the walks and ceiling.

What a massive transformation!

I still have some demo cassette tapes we cut in that room and they still sound good to me.

So although that poster may have been joking( I hope!). I can state they worked wonders in our situation.
