In my opinion Audio Magic Beeswax SHD fuses are better than the blacks. I know they are very pricy (for fuses) but they worth the money. I have AM SHD in my pre and Blacks in the amps (also in the DAC).. I think the improvement in the Pre superior...

People like us who stupidly evaluate sounding machines by ear without much care for measuring are kind of a therapy for this kind of Trolls. As many of us do, when I read a forum discussion that makes me nervous I stop reading and search another. ...
