I would prefer if manufacturers used circuit breakers instead of fuses. My 2 phono stages and 2 of 3 pre-amps are unfused. Only my CD players and amps are fused. I've heard my amps with SR blue fuses and the same amps with circuit breakers instead and they sounded very similar, couldn't choose what the differences were other maybe than dynamics were better with circuit breaker amps.
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
LOL, I'll bet I gotcha on that Title! ;) BTW, I put this thread under "Tech Talk" category as it involves the system physically, not tangentially.
More seriously, two question survey:
1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil
2. Have you ever tried them? Yes or No
In the tradition of such questions on Agon, I'll weigh in as we go along...
Feel free to discuss and rant all you wish, but I would like to see clear answers to the questions. :)

FUSE Fanatics Rejoice! Good news- and REAL :) ”LITTELFUSE Hosts Speed2Design Tech Talks at NASA”. Just Google it. So - is it possible the little fuse company,that operates in a manner such that they can so closely associate with NASA, can produce fuses suitable for your treasured, but earthbound stereo? “ Charlatans” were not invited. |
Speaking of NASA, she’s a real go getter. Goddard. My old stomping grounds. Sigh. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/nasa-goddard-announces-innovator-of-the-year |
