Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Hi teo_audio, Thanks for posting your colorful and very interesting fuse experiences. You've given examples of what many posters already know, those darn little electrical things do affect the sound. As you've noted , each fuse has its own distinct sonic character. Very easy for many listeners to hear, no voodoo required either 😊😊 Charles |
Teo Audio. I posted the same thing much earlier on. I did in the past use appropriate sized copper lugs in place of fuses and the sound is soooo much better. No fuse sounds the best by far. Just simply avoid them (fuses) by using high quality Heinemann on/off breakers as the power switch. Common sense tells me that a better quality fuse will sound better than a cheaply made one as no fuse at all sounds the best. I have experimented with all four - no fuse, copper lug, standard fuse, Synergistic fuse. I have heard the differences. I ask again, why not use a high quality breaker switch? Most gear is built with an on/off switch anyway and a fuse. Eliminate the fuse and yes you still have a switch, but certainly a better overall design by eliminating the fuse. This is can be implemented in all manner of designs to better the sound. |
John Curl advocates this one: re-settable fuses They are starting now becoming industry standard as their prices have come down over the last year or so, they are now much cheaper than a good $2 fuse + the fuse holder, and that is a big fact to manufacturers. But there’s no voodoo inside them if you care to investigate. http://uk.farnell.com/pptc-resettable-fuses?searchRef=SearchLookAhead Cheers George |
