That would be nice.
Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...
I’ve bought 5 Audio Horizons Platinum fuses a couple of months ago, for my amps, speakers and DAC.
Three days ago, coincidentially, the 5A fuses on my mono amps (Rogue Apollos), blew at the same time on start up. Replaced them with the OEM fuses, and everything works again.
I have a very good electrical installation, with independent lines for each amp, a no surges or anything strange occurred. My speakers, Evolution Acoustics MM3s are always ON, and nothing happened to the fuses on them.
I emailed Joseph Chow inmediately and his response was to send the fuses back to him (at my cost, I live in Ecuador...), to repair them for $70/each, plus shipping.
I have paid $138 for each fuse in October, and no warranty?... what a shame!!!
Won’t buy these fuses again, NEVER!!!

jea48 If your asking no. If your telling wrong. They are the same fuse over time, and none are blown, all functional just shown the decay that happens over too many switch on surges. The parts you think are open circuit are in fact just white carbon build up on the resistance wire. You can search for the origins, as I posted these up years ago, when all this fuse snake oil started. Cheers George |
georgehifi Where’s the Beef? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug75diEyiA0 With out some technical information explaining the fuse through the five stages, shown in the picture, the picture is meaningless. For all I know it is a picture where the fuse was subjected to an overloaded condition beyond its’ ampere rating for a period of time. Again supply the testing technical data for the picture. I have never in my lifetime seen a fuse that tests good, measures continuity, that was installed in a circuit, operated within the manufacture’s ampere rating, that looked anything like the picture in the Link you provided. Have you? Has anyone reading this thread? Anyone?? I own audio equipment I bought in the 1970s, ( with original fuses), and the fuse element wire inside the glass fuse still looks the same to me. I have owned equipment from the 1950s, and 1960s where the fuse element wire inside the fuses didn’t look like the picture in the link you posted. Jim |
