| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? That isn't even remotely funny, and shows a tone deaf, low level appreciation for this hobby.Naysayers, you can't go through life using conjecture, insults, snide remarks, and a low and transparent level of sophistry and have any credibility. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? The laws of physics can't be broken. If the rationale came in the form of a memo, it came from the marketing department. Fuses do not make a difference. Do you want to believe science or do you want to believe marketing? It's up to you to deci... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @willgolf,I was told by @auxinput to expect some ups and downs for the first 200 hours. All was great for about the first 20 hrs and then it was like, 'what happened?' It was then that I put the CD player on repeat for the night and since then, it... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Ah, you must be from Missouri. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Granted, on a scale that encompasses all we hear when listening, the differences can be stated as small. My Marantz Reference components are no slouch in design and construction. Ken Ishiwata is a well respected designer and he went deep into the ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @kosst_amojan, I believe you're right. As to why they don't do it is beyond me. As I recall, Ralph (@atmasphere), uses something better than fuses in his designs. Until they start doing it on a regular basis, I'm going to stick with the better mad... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @toddverrone, I wish I could be as succinct as you. 😃 | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? A fuse is not a wire. A fuse is used in place of a wire, or interrupts a trace, on a circuit board. We can all agree that a wire or trace should be of very high quality/purity to sound it's best. A fuse is an over current device engineered to melt... | |
| Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!) Great to hear. I did the same thing with my PADIS fuses: put them in and had questionable sound that didn't improve in a couple of days so I turned them around and viola!.All the best,Nonoise | |
| How "Tribal" are we? @minorl , your mention of a '70 Barracuda brought back some memories. I had a '69 Barracuda S340 that I only kept for a couple of months. Fast forward some 35-40 years and one just like it pulls into a parking space as I'm walking by and it really... | |

| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters Let me state unequivocally, deep bass is difficult for the average consumer. Most audiophiles are better off with bass limited speakers, or satellite/subwoofer systems. The former limits the danger you can get into. The latter has the most chance ... | |
| How "Tribal" are we? I would like the audiophile community to NOT indulge in this movement, at least in the form of ascribing labels or tribes to those who hold views contrary to your’s. As you assert, most of us are, as individuals, much more than any tribal label ca... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? With regards to at least PADIS fuses, the CE rating allows them to be used anywhere in Europe as they meet any and all applicable standards for safety. There is no 3rd party evaluation like UL does in the US but UL would like to do it (for a fee) ... | |
| How "Tribal" are we? @hifiman5 , That's some rather nice insight. Accentuate the positive and play down the negative. Life is just too short.All the best,Nonoise |
