I recently installed Isoclean fuses in the Parasound JC-1s and Atma-Sphere MA-1s here, with excellent results. Putting Isoclean fuses in the Sound Lab speakers helped as well, though not as much as in the amps.

Porziob - don't knock them if you haven't tried them. Rja - Isoclean fuses are sold direct by aaudioimports.com. According to Brian Ackerman at Aaudioimports, Isoclean makes them in slow blow only because they found fast blow don't sound as good. I imagine the Hifi Tuning fuses are also excellent, and it's not a lot of money to try one or the other or both. |
Uppermidfi, the Isoclean Audio Grade Breaker Box was introduced at CES. Isoclean also introduced the Supreme Focus power cord and other products, including the Super Focus speaker cables. The main breaker is rated at 80 Amps, and the 9 circuit breakers are rated up to 32 Amps each. All the internal contact parts are high purity copper with 24k gold plating. All the bus bars are solid copper with 24k gold plating, and the internal wire is heavy gauge high purity copper. This is a sub panel which is designed to be run off the main house panel, or you can tap into the main line coming into your house. Price is $3950. |
I don't know about the other audio grade fuse makers, but Isoclean seems to be the only company that has UL, CE, and other approvals. Here are links to some reviews of the Isoclean fuses published in Positive Feedback, 6moons, and Ultra Audio: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/isoclean.htm http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/isoclean3/fuses.html http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/isoclean/isoclean.html http://www.ultraaudio.com/equipment/isoclean_superfocus_80a3_pt3030g_ii.htm |
