Unfortunately, they’re only available in the smaller fuse size(thus far).

Got away from the OP's original topic......SORRY!

@decooney - "Now the good cables allow one to hear what was always there, just had to let it come through :)" Absolutely! Sounds as though we both value good sound staging. It’s surprising, that even in comparing some of those, "good cables", thin...
