Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Wait…you're talking about the fuse, right? 

The suspense is killing me. 💤

Selling basics .... Don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle.   ;=)

He's saving the best (secret tweak) for last. Bring it on!

Dear @almarg @oregonpapa @nonoise and friends: Even with fuses internal circuit problems can occur and the item could be not protected against it.

My phonolinepream and amp monobloks have internally other fuses at power supply that I don’t touched.

What I did it is to hardwire with the silver Kimber Kable from the regulators directly to the input power supply on each item by-passing too the item input connectors.

I already have this kind of set up for over two years now with no failure at all and I think it will stay that way.

I had more than 40 years in audio and in all those years I never had a problem with internal shor circuit or something similar. The times that a fuse bow-up were for different reasons.

Can I have a problem in the future?, who knows but the rewards are so formidable/outstanding that is worth to take that " non-probable " risk. No fuses can gives that kind of paramount quality levels differences.

@oregonpapa you tested in that ARC that’s a more " sensitive " item to problems than my Levinson monobloks and you never had a problem.

Of course that’s up to each one of us doing what I did.
It’s so amazing that I just can’t come back to fuses, any one. Yes, my risk and is welcomed ! !

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Btw, I can´t remember if was on this thread where through a link I read what D.Berning found out with his experiences with high end fuses. Self experiences and from his customers whom sended to him their electronics ( Berning amps. ) to fix it and where he found out that what damged his amps was the high end fuses that does not acomplish the electrical standards. He said in that forum that is a real risk to use high end fuses.

Unfortunatelly I don't have that link but maybe some one can remember it and share with us.
