To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

One of these days the concept that merely first replacing An old fuse with a similar new one or merely just reseating the existing one better can make a difference in sound will sink in with those who still do not get it.
Having replaced many fuses for customers over the years I think that may have been my very first point I ever made here regarding the popular topic of fuses and have even re-iterated it a few times as I recall but it’s not something fancy fuse pushers seem to have any interest in. Go figure!

“I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”  

I rarely promote my products here, fellas. I do on occasion promote my ideas, however. See the difference? 👀 I leave it to Georgie Boy and moopman to do my product promotion for me. Thanks, guys!

Yes I see it clearly.  Very sneaky!!!!!

Something terrible happens when products are not promoted. Nothing.

Luckily for you and others, there is this forum where you get to do it for free, Mr. Big Shot.

Where’d all the tongue in cheek sci-fi comedy go on that site? Now it looks like a serious attempt to sell stuff, serious for Machina Dynamica at least..

Yup. At least do that first so that you are at least starting off with a good quality fuse that need not be expensive. 

Captain,

Just for the record, none of those things including external surge protectors will help  if the missing fuse is needed to do its intended job  while swapped out.   

On the flip side,  device events that cause a fuse to blow do not happen often normally so at least the odds are good of not causing damage.   However the longer the fuse is not in play, the more chance there is of damage occurring.

So with that in mind, have at it if you must.   The best anyone can do is remind people fuses are there for a reason (and its not because of how they "sound")  and no manufacturer if asked  would ever approve of customers replacing fuses with wire.
