Reasonably Priced Fuse Upgrade for Magnepan 3.7?
cjwessing If getting these, get ones that have a 30 day return, try them out, and compare them to good quality $2 industry fuses from here. https://www.digikey.com/products/en/circuit-protection/fuses/139?k=Glass%20Fuses Better still, put some copper wire in place of your fuse and don't overdrive your speaker, many speakers (even planers and ESL's) don't have fuses.

Of the fifteen or so high end fuses listed on The Cable Company fuse page most are less than $50. We already know the new Gold and Silver cryod Brimar fuse is only $35. Come on, people, most high end fuses are not (rpt not) expensive. Let’s get real. Save the $2 off the shelf fuses for your boom box. |
@georgehifi - " Better still, put some copper wire in place of your fuse and don’t overdrive your speaker, many speakers (even planers and ESL’s) don’t have fuses." Better yet(what I’ve always done with Maggies, while installing WBT 5 ways), unscrew the Magnepan input plate and just bypass all the fuse holders and jumper screw terminals. A simple procedure, that eliminates all the steel and crappy conductors/connections, in the signal path. Of course then, clean/adequate power and judicious volume control use, become hard and fast rules(as you mentioned). |
