Please don’t argue with, or try to convince, George on this thread.
I always thought SR and new guys like this Quantum were using some kind of voltage conditioning process on the fuses, and the fuse price/level was just the amount of time that fuse spent on the conditioning device.
"voltage conditioning process" ??????
Wouldn't surprise me if Synergistic Research and Quantum Science Audio, are one in the same, now that SR has fallen from favor and Quantum is the new cheaper snake oil fuser on the block.
All that the members need to know that are thinking of buying into this fuse snake oil is
A fuse:
1: two end caps
2: short piece of fuse wire connecting the two end caps through a glass tube (that’s all she wrote).
I ask what can be done to that 10mm of fuse wire, by these companies that have no technical credibility at all
To those "non technical" members that are interested, do not listen to fusers, listen to the techs of this industry that design the audio products you have.
AND YOU WON"T SEE THEM ON THREADS LIKE THIS AGREEING WITH FUSERS ABOUT THE SOUND IMPROVMENT DETAILS AND AC FUSE PLACEMENT DIRECTION, EVER!!!
Just clean and tighten your fuse holder and re-new your fuse (if old) with a good quality 50cent Bussman, Littlefuse or similar.Cheers to those "non fusers" George
As with "many switch-on surges" they do deteriorate, bend, stretch and get crusty with electrolysis formations on their fusible wire elements before they give out, as these pics show of a fuse wire element ageing over time show. https://ibb.co/9NbTwqK
(even the $$$ boutique ones will age just as much also)
