Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Naunc0,
Which Plinius amp do you have and what was the size of the fuse in the power inlet?
Thanks...

Lak, it's an SA-102. The power inlet is 10A slow blow, the rail fuses are 10A fast blow. The improvement with the SR fuse at the power inlet was dramatic: as OP says, lowered noise floor, everything much more natural. But that was one fuse, the rails are $ x 4 (!)

Thank you, Charles.

People like us who stupidly evaluate sounding machines by ear without much care for measuring are kind of a therapy for this kind of Trolls.
 As many of us do, when I read a forum discussion that makes me nervous I stop reading and search another.
The Troll looks only for discussions where opinions dislike him and enter it. He is sure to be right against the world and will show to people all around the world who he is.  So he forces us to take his opinion and so his person in consideration. He is often outrageous and definitive in his opinions for provoking reactions of some of us.
So endly, he exists.
when hunters want to hunt some birds they use whispers imitating their voice. The birds come and bang bang...
If you want to make trolls appear there are some magic words. Some of them are : 
"Does someone know Acoustic System Resonnators ?"
Just write "TW-Acustic makes great TTs" and Syntax will suddenly appear in the discussion. 
There are many others we could list but we are serious people that judge music machines by ear first. 
Wolfie Cotton ears can write as often he wants I just don't read his posts and I am happy to part of his therapy for free.

nobody can explain the technical design aspects of "special" fuses ....
FWIW, I for one certainly can’t. I’ll say also that it seems to me that audio is somewhat unique in that there are countless technical variables that can be cited for which it is not readily possible to define a quantitative threshold separating what may potentially be audible in some systems from what is unquestionably insignificant. In the absence of that kind of quantitative perspective there is essentially no limit to what a perceived or claimed sonic effect can be attributed to. Or misattributed to.

We’ve been over all that. There is no mystery here, folks. It’s straight physics and metallurgy and some common sense thrown in for good measure. This is all starting to sound like the great cable debate that’s been going on for what, thirty five years. Fuses, like cables and wire, have evolved over time. In the case of aftermarket fuses it’s taken say twenty years. Like anything else, a fuse can be improved. How, you ask? We discover problems.  We solve them. We learn, grow.
