Replacing fuse

Addendum: Audio Horizons offers a limited 15 day in home trial with money back guarantee.

For the record AMR fuses come with a 30 day guarantee and IIRC the earlier Audio Magic fuses also come with a guarantee, at least through one big dealer. Not that it matters much as I was informed during a conference call with the primary US fuse dealer and the major fuse players that the bulk of fuses sold these days are SR or HiFi Tuning.

Are you channeling Carl Sagan? Are you now the spokesman for the Silent Majority? Are they satisfied like cows in the field? 🐄

Did you mean veracity? Maybe velocity. How about varsity?

That’s complete hogwash. Almost all fuses come with 30 or sometimes 60 day money back guarantee. One exception is the very latest Audio Magic Ultra Beeswax or whatever it’s called. As for NASA fuses you’re all wet on that one, too. The NASA advanced fuses were discussed a few months back by your humble scribe, who happened to be in satellite operations for NASA for a bunch of years, including pre-launch activities, launch and on orbit operations. Better luck next time. Besides, could 70,000 satisfied aftermarket fuse customers be wrong? 

Stubborn cuss, ain’t he? God gave you two ears and one mouth for a reason. I don’t subscribe to any fuse or cable manufacturer that doesn’t control directionality. I don’t even care if they’re UL listed or not. Whaddya think about them apples? 🍎 You are free to do whatever you want. Live and let die, I always say.

Not meaning to add confusion to the issue but the current is alternating in most circuits where fuses are used (i.e., AC circuits), thus the net velocity of current is actually zero for almost any delta time.

Geoff,

Any fuse supplied to NASA or any other Aviation Enterprise must be tested and supplied with documentation detailing repeated tests detailing that it works as intended. Hardly the case of all the BS that souround “Audiophile” fuses. The kind of testing and documentation that is provided by reputable companies like Bussman and Littlefuse.

>>>Now you’re being ridiculous. Audiophile fuses are not (rpt not) intended for aviation or space applications. Nor are the stock Bussman or Littelfuse used for either aviation or space applications. Follow? Besides you seem to be blissfully unaware of the data sheets supplied by HiFi Tuning detailing the test results of HiFi Tuning fuses and other brands of fuses, including stock fuses, not to mention cryod fuses vs uncryod fuses and fuse directionality.

Other Aviation Enterprises? Did you make that up yourself? Do you mean like hang gliding? Drones?

Jitter, are you referring to the Shuttle that exploded on take-off or the one the disintegrated during recently? 

Uh, the special advanced fuses NASA uses are not the same ones as the compsnies’ Stock fuses, silly. They are more like the aftermarket fuses audiophiles prefer. Nice try.

No. Lord of the Flies. Or was it The Fly? Oh, never mind.

I don’t know but I have a feeling you’re going to tell me. 😛

Thanks for all the input.As for the 30 day guarantee by the time you have fuses burned in enough to clearly hear a difference good or bad the grace period would probably be voided and be stuck with a fuse that wasn't a good match for the amp.

>>>>Geez, you’ve got an excuse for everything. I declare thee a troll! 

Most fuses offer 30 day guarantee. So, what are you waiting for? Besides I already told you how to improve whatever run of the mill fuse you already have. 

Quick interrupt! Current audiophile fuses available from The Cable Company. It appears the price of spinach is going up. That’s a lot of Big Macs. 🍔

Sounds very nice. A fuse would be nice too. Hint, hint.

Thanks for clearing that up. 🤗

See if they’ll treat you to a new fuse.

Take them to McDonalds. Problem solved! Happy Meals all around! 😀

Excuse me? Do you live in a tree house? Audiophile fuses start at what, 20 bucks? Eat McDonald’s for a week.

For those who are too cheap to invest in aftermarket fuses there is some progress to be made potentially simply by reversing existing stock fuses one at a time and assessing for each fuse which direction sounds best. If you have say, four fuses what are the odds that half of them are in the wrong direction? What are the odds they’re all in the wrong direction? Or that they’re all in the correct direction? Do the math. For extra texture use the graphene contact enhancer on all fuses. Oh, darn, that’s not free! Never mind.

Don’t buy those nonsense high end rip off uses.

>>>>Give me an F. Give me a U.

Your fuses blew, if that story is even true which it’s probably not, because you didn’t pay enough for them. Problem solved.
