Streamers and their Fuses


I purchased the Aurender W20SE back in August and ran it on the stock 5 cent generic 2 amp 5mmx20mm slow burn fuse in it’s FURUTECH FI-03 Rhodium plated IEC Inlet. It sounds amazing in stock form the last 3 months… But 3 weeks ago I decided to upgrade the fuse in the W20SE to the Magic Audio Masterpiece M-1. The difference is not subtle. It feels like the potential of the streamer is unlocked, the detail, clarity and richness of tonal transparency is entirely transformed. My goal in HiFi is always holographic imaging of accurate instrument separation, this was improved as well. It is such a startling discovery I cannot listen to my Jay’s Audio MK3-CDT3 CD transport anymore, whereas before the fuse upgrade the CD transport was clearly the higher quality sound reproduction.

 

Anyone else experienced shocking results from upgrading their streamer’s fuse? I’d love to hear your feedback. All I can say is after burning this Audio Magic m-1 masterpiece in for a week it’s the only fuse I’ll put in my HiFi gear from now on. The purple fuse from Synergistic Research was my previous go to, but the audio magic m-1 is far superior in every possible way imho. 😉

Listening to the P. Cable yap yap about those colouring the final sound of a system was laughable, now fuses are you kidding ?? That’s a joke right ?

I’m here because I want to be. And you will note I did not ridicule any individual person! If you generally don’t like one’s opinion, see where it’s coming from and stop reading… simple right ?

 @jerryg123  I've a large powerful system that to most does not get any better. Well engineered, electrified, modified, pretty to boot, and at 1800lbs we're done. There is no '0' hum or noise at any point, I do not recommend looking for non existing problems, nor market scam band-aid repairs for such. The science is there for just about anything or topic, and a person can, should, believe what they hear IMO. So there it is, should I choose to laugh I will...perhaps privately. Remember You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear. 

Silence is golden.. great song and point taken. Someone is having trouble tweaking his Walkman, achieving success possibly then we all shall listen to the music. Have a great holiday folks

Cheers

Of course Science is always evolving but things have to change discovery, Positive proof etc. A moot point with regards to fuses, like the man said a fuse is a fuse let’s see how science has involved with that. There is no argument, and it’s not religious dogma but rather a pile of dog …. 😎
