May I just ask--of all the SR Reds and Blacks being placed, how many of you are exceeding stock ratings by a little or a lot? This is often needed
because the SR offerings are high by .5 amp or because the boutique fuses may blow easier at the stock rating. Another reason is a higher rating sounds better, IME. I have pushed the ratings in my AC input fuses by an amp or two. The bigger filament adds more to the overall presentation, I believe. If these AC input fuses are removed, there is no sound--no power. Does this imply all of the AC voltage passes through these tiny filaments? I mean, after all the over-size Romex, the transformers, the dedicated 20 amp lines, the 10 gauge AC cables, etc, are we being choked by these little filaments? Please tell me. If you have Maggies, you have the additional potential to push the stock rating for an unbelievable result--at the midranges and tweeters, I have quadrupled the stock ratings, and I don't worry one bit about it, not with a 4000 watt isolation transformer serving my system--you should have faith in your power supply to do this, I would guess. So, you have found the right fuse, but are you willing to extend that benefit even further?
