McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound


Have anyone change out the fuse in the back of a McIntosh integrate amp to make it sound better? Does this work or is this a myth? And if it does what kind of fuse? Thx

It's a myth, a 50c fuse sold for $150 is a con aimed at the gullible.

Just change the fuse if old for a quality brand EE industry standard 50c fuse, as fuses (even the snake oil ones) do age after many turn on cycle surges.

Quick blow fuses and slow blow fuses aging left to right.

Georgehifi,  I concur a million percent. A fuse is a fuse is a fuse. If you guys want to blow money needlessly, send it to me. I will spend the money wisely😂🤣.  I will not get into  a flame war over this, it is ONLY my opinion. 
They do make a nice difference. Paid only 39,95$ canadian for mine. Gold plated copper, ceramic body. No need for more.

Low cost , easy swap , much better build and contact quality. The upgrade was obvious for me. And yes, sound is improved.

I paid 1.3k for a Shunyata powercord. The fuse upgrade was just obvious at this low price considering the cost of the pc...
