50 years, 100’s of amplifiers, never a blown fuse.....Go figure. Well, not really true. Once, and only once, I was very stupid. Enjoy ! MrD. |
Yes, why can’t the "same " trolls let the fuse folks have their fun. Why must they show up, over and over and over again. This is a hobby. Enjoy ! MrD. |
" I have had plenty of fuses blow because my amp has a massive power supply ". Many amps being sold have massive power supplies, and if fuses were to continue to blow, I think these amps would be right back to the manufacturer for constant repair, or replacement. Enjoy ! MrD. |
sleepwalker, I sure hope you are kidding. Enjoy ! MrD. |
Kosst, Here are just a few examples of amps that had large power supplies that I have owned, with never a blown fuse. Ampzilla, Krell KSA 50 and Mk 2, Bedini / Strellioff 200, Bedini 25 / 25, Robertson 6010, Threshold 400, Threshold Stasis 2, Audionics CC2, ARC D 50, 60, 100, Crown Studio Reference, SAE 2600, so many Mac’s, and the list continues. So stop your BS. |
kosst, I will say this. You are relentless, and have an amazing amount of energy that spurs from your mouth ( fingers ). Why can't you let it go, and leave this fuse thing to us listeners who hear it and benefit from it. It is our money, it is our journey, and has nothing at all to do with you. And let it be said, we, as a group, have nothing we need to prove to you. Who are you anyway, the fuse police ? And keep in mind, I am not discussing fuse direction here, just the change of the fuse. Enjoy ! MrD. |
kosst, so you learn nothing ? Why are you here ? BTW, would your home made amp, as it is now, pass UL approval ? I have amplifiers in my collection I have completely bypassed the fuses and the holders ( crapola ), that SIGNIFICANTLY improved SQ in absolutely EVERY area. This tells me that fuses are crap to begin with. Once again, you cannot accept the fact that many of us hear it. Well, we do, and, that will not change. Start your own thread....pick a topic. We'll go from there. Enjoy ! MrD. |
George, at least they didn't axe the thread. Enjoy ! MrD. |
greg22lz....TY, I never saw that one. Enjoy ! MrD. |
It is important to note, that when replacing a fuse, you should not handle it with your fingers, as the skin has oils, and if these oils get on the end caps of the fuse, it can hinder the contact being made. The glass body of the fuse should have this avoided as well, as heat from the fuse will dissipate more efficiently ( this is true will all " bulbs, as a matter of fact ). This is another reason why connectors and plugs need to be cleaned now and then, from us handling them. ime…..Enjoy ! MrD. |
Yay ! Another believer and convert. Awesome. And, by using his ears and listening. Enjoy ! MrD. |
He is truly unbelievable, this kosst person. He does not have a life, to keep coming on these posts making claims that we all are " crazy ". I said months ago, somewhere, that his posts are laughable and entertaining. Thank you kosst, for this. Always, and Enjoy ! MrD |
Fuses, fuse holders and the additional wiring ( or circuit board traces ), impair the sq, but, for the protection of the piece of equipment, it is there. One comment I always appreciated was by Bill Lowe of AQ. " To Due Less Harm ". Better fuses ! Enjoy! MrD. |
