Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax

There is only one reason a >$100 boutique fuse may sound better than a quality $2 fuse.
That is because the >$100 boutique is replacing a $2 fuse that is old and tired seen too many switch on cycles, making it weak and also carbon’ed up as can be seen by these time deterioration pics of the same fuse.

Your better off spending $2 on an original new fuse, and save yourself >$98 as the ageing process will happen just as fast with the >$100 fuse.

How often (time period) do you recommend changing fuses to new ones?

How often (time period) do you recommend changing fuses to new ones?

That would vary, on how much current is drawn through the fuse at switch on (as this is the heaviest), and how many times a day it’s turned on an off.

If they’re only $2 do them every 6mts or so.

Any information on reseating an original fuse and noticing improvements?
