The guru on fuses:


For two years, I have asked why and how fuses could possibly matter. All I got was arguments of faith, pro or con. I needed a real audio guru who actually knows. Here is a link from John Curl’s discussion on Parasound’s website. He engineered and designed some some great equipment, including some Mark Levinson gear, The Grateful Dead’s 30 plus McIntosh amp powered Wall of Sound, and his admittedly, somewhat price compromised Parasound designs. He discusses the electrical properties of standard fuses, showing how they are compromised. The entire article is quite enlightening, but to skip to the fuse section, go to the bottom half of page 6. https://www.parasound.com/pdfs/JCinterview.pdf

Again, Try it. These people who say it does not make a difference are not willing to experiment. If you spend $20+ on fuses and they don’t make a difference then at least you have good quality fuses, right?

I was doubtful but willing to experiment and I am glad I did. 




I would like to recommend you purchase Littelfuse fuses, which cost $4-8 each,  before getting $100 fuses to try. Yes!  they make a difference if your system is transparent. Don’t listen to others who say it doesn’t make any difference. The same people say Cables don’t make a difference.

Stop listening to these people who are negative about trying new things.   Try it for yourself then make your own judgment.
