Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List

It make more sense to do as you propose--bypass the fuse holder entirely.  For protection, one could then buy a digital fuse box that monitors conditions and acts as a fuse when protection is needed.   

i don't see anything in the listings of Stereo Times that makes me think they are good at picking winners and losers.

@ozzy62 ,

😆

@ozzy62       The masthead of "Stereo Times" lists Terry London as a "senior editor", FWIW

A $5,000 fuse is an affront to sanity. And the $2,500 "jitter" $2 adapter is simply criminal.
