The question I have, would a gold plated or rhodium plated fuse be the way to go?No. Even if a fuse does sound better, there is no reliable way of being sure that is why, so no reason to decide based on this arbitrary factor. I never buy anything based on random tech stories like this. They are stories, nothing more, and the sooner you learn to set them aside and focus on how things sound the faster you will progress in this hobby. A logical corollary, you can safely ignore anyone telling you something, anything, can't work because: reasons. Decide for yourself if something works by listening to it. Then later on you can decide if the story makes any sense. Never the other way around. If so, which would be the better choice? One that sounds good. Since no one really knows exactly why one sounds better than another, the only reasonable path is to choose based on listening impressions of people you feel you can trust. All you can do. That is why instead of asking people here and having to wade through all the anti-fuser blather I search and read listener impressions and reviews. Like, you could search and read my reviews of the Synergistic Blue and Orange fuses. Long story short they are both very good and about equivalent to a good $500 power cord. At least on most things like my Melody amp, which is about as close to your PL as you are likely to find. Only one place they have not performed, the motor controller for my turntable. Now is a great time to buy Synergistic, there's specials with things like buy 2 get 1 free, at least at high-endelectronics.com not sure if all Synergistic dealers are doing this. |
Thanks everyone, for the input. I reckon I'll just give it a go. If their is no harm done to the sound, and even if their is no perceived change audibly, no harm done. Im looking at a range of fuses at Littlefuse. They have a lot of technical info on their website, and their prices are very reasonable. If anyone has tried ceramic fuses in Peimaluna gear, I'd still like to hear. As well as any other opinions or thoughts. Cheers Ricey. |
Please ricey, when you get your POC fuse and try it out, please come back and let us all know just how crappy it was. How you feel about getting duped into believing a bunch of technical stuff that turned out to be stories. And then later when you try a Synergistic Orange Fuse with the money back guarantee how shocked you are to find out it really is worth every penny. Then with that experience behind you let us all know which one you now consider "reasonable" the one that cost time and money and did nothing, or the one that actually did what you wanted. |
ricey Just re-new your fuse with the same amperage if it’s old and has seen many turn on cycles, with a quality one like Bussman or Littlefuse and clean the cradle fuse contacts and maybe squeeze them in a little for a tight fit. And definitely don’t be sucked into any $$$ boutique hifi fuses 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 aging and slow blow fuses aging left to right. https://ibb.co/0ZtRv4J https://ibb.co/mbzs3RK Cheers George |
