Its been asserted since the start of teh Red fuse thread that not all fuses are created equal but good quality ones can be had for much less than... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Maybe fuse lovers should try the same fuses that the experts choose to use when designing their gear? Might save some $$$$s.
