Thinking of trying well fuses…..

So I have been reading the debate on fuses and well class D and have decided to try fuses.

Looking for guidance on brands used and in what components.

Not looking to start a debate or have a bunch of dialog or opinions on the overall topic just want first hand knowledge so I can pick a couple of products and see for myself if it’s real or if it’s Memorex.

Now I am heading out to swim and listen to my Class D NAD or the Yamaha on the deck.

Regards.

And you George.. Take your meds.. and shut UP. What you offer is just OLD HAT
Old hat and the answer to what "snake oil" is being promoted here.

And you need the meds sunshine.

To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products.
AND YOU WON"T SEE ANY OF THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH THESE FUSERS
Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)
Cheers George

Take your existing fuse out, turn it around and listen. Did you hear any difference?

Get the same busman fuse, NEW, inspect it, and wipe the end caps with some very fine steel wool. Take a piece of elect tape cut it wide enough to cover the glass barrel or use a little dab of silicone and DON’T get it on the end caps..

Total cost.. Time.
