Show me a maker who displays their parts lists and sources for those parts on the entry door of the sound room. Do they list their preference for tubes and maker at the show and hand you a print out of the tubes in use and other parts.
Both fuses and tubes are in the signal path so why would one matter and the other not? They both have a conductive filament..Fuses come well before any other device in a circuit..Fuses are maligned by some just as were power cords 20 years past. Fuses or breakers are hooked at the end of a mile long feeder cable coming into your home. An 8 gauge 5 pound power cord banging the heck out of a filament made of mostly terrible conductive material and some UFO solder how could that make an impact on anything after that fact? Would that mono filament present a bandpass or a compressive function along with noise injection on a select component on the other side? What about the differing transfer functions presented by the 3 or more materials contained in a fuse, noise may result..what about vibration of that filament?
Pass labs does offer up info for all of their different output devices used in their many products for the consumer to evaluate. I know they use breakers on some of their products and thats very appealing.
If a vendor is using premium select parts that are not standard to their product then that modification should be stated. Tom
