Which SR Blue fuse for ARC REF 5SE? It says 5A slo/blo 250V on the fuse but no size MM?any help? Anyone had any experience with either fuse and what was the result.
You don’t have to know which way current or signal flows in the circuit since almost no aftermarket fuses are marked for directionality anyway. Thus, you should try both ways in any situation.
Ok, I honestly can't believe what a difference flipping the fuse made. Geez, seriously...that took me by surprise. Thanks for the very quick and sage advice from @nonoise@geoffkait and @david_ten . You guys were all spot on! The highs are back and detailed, the bass no longer loose, and the overall resolution of sound is so much more pure than using the stock fuse already. My best descriptor would be a more realistic sound. Grant Green's guitar sounds like it's being played out of my Mesa Boogie tube guitar amp and I could feel Ben Tucker's bass strings reverberate cleanly. Was streaming Grant Green's "Green Street" MQA version as my reference for this fuse. Impressed so far and appreciate your quick rescue guys.
@three_easy_payements, Great to hear! (pun intended).
On an aside, now that you’ve heard it for yourself, and you know you’re not under the effect of a placebo, or are out of your mind delusional, or a victim of confirmation bias, or that the stars are out of alignment, do you find it odd that there are some who are so over the top furious that anyone would benefit from these fuses?
