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


Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?

One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?

I gots to know!

I have used solid silver wire in my fuse holders. Then used the red and black fuses. The red and black to me were noticeably better that the audio magic solid silver wire. I am very glad I got the fuses. I will not get the orange but get other items first.
If you are going to get some fuses and need to watch the budget I would put them in you power amp and source component first.  
You are welcome captaindidactic.
What I did was use just silver wire in my fuse holder, not in my fuses.
When you buy a fuse you push it into it's holder. I did not use a fuse in it's holder when I used a sold silver wire, from one end of the fuse holder to the other end.
After I took out the silver wire I put in a synergistic red or black fuse, depending on the component. I liked that noticeably better.
Maybe that is easier to understand.
And by the way, I find a lot of benefit when using judicious tweeks. have fun!

I would like to say I appreciate cleeds comments that keep some from getting out of control on this forum. I am glad he comes on from time to time.
However I really appreciate jea48 because he is usually helping someone to enjoy there system more. I really appreciate that jea48, thanks. I think of you as having big shoulders helping others and not letting things get in your craw. That is a big complement that I reserve for people like Almarg.
It doesn't matter one iota, but I think jea48 is deserving of a little respect here. But it doesn't matter because i think he will continue to help others here. And I appreciate that.
