Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread

Quite so, lest Mark offers a,double IEC version.

I received my fusebox (w/Graphene Sluggo) last week. After a few frustrating days I reversed the Sluggo.. Ahh! There was an odd tonality and edginess to the music before the change. I've experienced this with many aftermarket fuses over the years so I'm not really surprised. I'm using the fusebox with my integrated amp only. 

Built my own adaptors replacing the cheap ones from Amazon. My goodness what a big step up in sound quality! If any of you are using the cheap adaptors you really must build a good DIY adaptor. You can buy great sounding AC plugs on Amazon from Viborg or Monosaudio. Here is a link to the Viborg offerings. You can order Rhodium, Gold, or copper. These sound as good as the big dollar ones based on my long history of building cables. You will discard the outer plastic barrels so don’t spend more money on the fancy carbon fiber or aluminum ones.

Simply use Neotech 14 or 12 gauge solid core copper wire in Teflon as your conductor. Remove the outer barrels and hook up the the connectors back to back with short 3 or so inch lengths of wire. I soldered spades to the conductor ends for ease in assembling. Not a must. Close quarters if the conductors are cut this short, but you can cut them a bit longer if you like. Don’t do this unless you understand the proper way to assemble a power cord as you don’t want a short!

I covered with 3 layers of adhesive lined 1.5 inch diameter heat shrink (3:1). Very robust and safe. Sounds incredible and takes up very little room. Total cost per adaptor of around $50. I am able to place the Swiss box right behind my gear on a rack with these adapters in place. I place footers or wood blocks under the Swiss box for support. . Works wonderfully.

You can also use a short 3-4 inch section of your favorite bulk power cord cable. Your choice. I like the Neotech solid core conductor sound and robustness. You do need some skill and experience to build these as lining up everything can be a challenge. I used these spades to tighten down inside the AC connectors, but these are not a must. After you tighten down the connector screws and apply 3 layers of double walled, adhesive lined shrink wrap no part of this adaptor will ever move! Hard as a rock with no give or chance of any movement!

So, before I venture into my own DIY project, the question I have is:

Is the SDFB better placed at the amp end or at the wall end?

BTW, I am using the AQ Dragon power cords,
