| The secret to a great amplifier... I'm really not trying to convince or persuade anyone. Just letting those of you who are interested know, in slightly cheeky way, of my experience with these fuses. I'm not special. But I needed to hear this from others a few times before I could t... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... @tubebuffer - Let's plug those $160 fuses into some stock Chinese OEM DACs, put a fancy audio brand name on it, market it as the marvelous new "giant-killer" to Thomas & Stereo on YouTube and make some serious $$$. I've got a decent job as it... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... another gem from prior thread: auxinput2,235 posts09-09-2017 11:54amWow, this thread went to a black hole in a hurry!Several things we need to be aware of:- If you have looked inside a fuse (like the glass fuses), you will see a VERY thin wire. S... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... @tomstruck - if they were standard, I'd imagine the manufacturer would mention it... unless there were so many people who consider it snake oil that they'd rather just keep it quiet. Now that I mention it, I'd probably do that if I were them... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Same old thread:nonoise6,405 posts09-07-2017 11:42amA 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.... | |

| The secret to a great amplifier... @millercarbon - thanks for the support on this thread. I've been finding your posts very informative, particularly on the more esoteric audiophile pursuits (tweaks, electrical, etc.). I appreciate that you typically come across as a decent perso... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... No more responses please. I've asked mods to delete. Thread has become another troll-patch. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Contentious topic... @audiodesign please enlighten us. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... @chetatkins I would definitely concur! | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... @simao I wondered the same thing for a while, thinking it mostly a silly idea, but it turns our that everything in the electrical pathways of our components can have an effect on sound quality. Fuses are probably the cheapest off the shelf part of... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... That's funny! | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) Late to this thread and way inferior on experience and technical knowledge. I think I lucked out with the EAR 868 which I purchased kind of randomly to sit between my balanced dac (holo audio may) and balanced amp (pass xa30.8). From what I've rea... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... @chetatkins - if you're serious, and it's late so I can't really tell, please post a follow up. |
