Fuses that matter.

I just bought a HiFi Tuning Supreme fuse for my integrated amp. Why? Because I haven't bought anything for my system lately and I'm currently very happy with all the big expensive parts and I had the itch to buy something. For a mere $89.00 it cured the itch for a while and didn't degrade the sound a bit. The little box with the window on the top that it came in was so cool it could've had a Radio Shack fuse in it and the itch would still be cured. Now I sit and listen just knowing how healthy and robust those electrons are as they exit the fuse on their way to creating musical nirvana. Jeez, I haven't even had a beer yet...

It might be worth mentioning that this whole fuse directionality issue suggests a deeper, perhaps more disturbing problem, the inherent problem with all wires - they are all directional. The wiring in amps, interconnects, speakers, cd players, etc. One wonders what a system would sound like if the same care in fabricating the new breed of aftermarket fuses with respect to directionality was applied to all wires in the system?

Only if you learn to spell the abbrevations for 'they are' and 'you are' and stop ending sentences with a question mark. ... :-)

If one spents thousands on a system, spending an extra $50 for a fuse is good ROI IMO. Worst case scenerio is out $50.
