Hello,
This upgrading fuses situation is one of the reasons why I am going with Ayre equipment. They gave up on fuses and came up with something that not only sounds better but is also more reliable. I know some houses still have fuses on the main electrical box but most who could afford it have upgraded to breakers in the electrical panel. Plus, There are even upgradable options for audiophiles like us. If you have fuses on your audio equipment and you like the way it sounds then I get upgrading to SR fuses. If you are buying new maybe consider if someone designed a better product. Would you buy a brand new house if it had an old fashioned fuse panel? I doubt it. I demoed the Ayre KX-R preamp this past week. It was amazing to say the least. Perfection does cost. At least someone finally strives for it. I hooked up a $450 TT setup to it. It sounded like I spent $2,000. The phono preamp was a Schiit Mani. Unbelievable! I checked out this gear at the new Chicagoland Ayre dealer. Here is a link if you want to listen for yourself. https://holmaudio.com/
