Something For The Fuse Guys ...

Oregonpapa. I need to apologize, as my post of the fuse / amplifier problem, might have put a damper, on your 1st, and most wonderful, thread. Never intended for that to happen, as it became realized, when I wanted to do another fuse upgrade. So, I am with ya ! Let this thread be the continuation of your " fuse thing "......My guess would be Isotek. Always, and Enjoy ! MrD.

Not everyone can hear a fuse difference, nor, have never even tried it. So the few who troll the idea, as there will always be those few, we fuse guys, just need to move on, and try extracting every last bit of detail through our systems.....It is our hobby, our passion, our money, and fundamentally, our ears, to be satisfied.....simple....end of story.

I have always bypassed the speaker protection fuses on amplifiers, with the exact same response quoted by that P.S.Audio guy, as I do not remember his name. Why should I ?,  because he does not know how anything works. Kidding, of course, about not remembering Paul's name. The first and foremost reason that manufacturers use fuses, is for protection, and safety. The inexpensive, and basic Bussman or Little fuse, does this particular job well. The supplied 16 ( maybe 14 ) gauge power cord, same thing. Most of us remember the absence of the iec inlet on products. Tube manufacturers, ime, never include the most expensive tubes. They do not use the most expensive isolation feet ( these are examples )...These are all offered as aftermarket items, and the manufacturers leave this to the buyers. Never the finest capacitors in speakers, and other gear....Products, are manufactured, always meeting a price point. All answers as to why upgraded fuses are not included with the gear. Enough of my jargon...Enjoy ! MrD.

Frank, so what you are saying, if I am understanding correctly; you, as the listener, have moved back a few rows from the stage, and you are still hearing finer details in the musicianship......I would say that is pretty impressive.
