fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones

I bought a modified Jolida JD-1000 that had the top level modification offered from Parts Connexion. I was surprised that for the price of the mod they were not included. I can see why NOS Tubes are not used though. Much more of an expense and the fact there is a rarity issue with most of them.

I would bet that if many more companies added them customers wouldn't bawk at having a Furutech over a Hi-Fi Tuning or an Isoclean. I think they would be fine with it.

Installed another non fuse magnet today. My wife came down and said the bass was shaking the house. She was two floors up. One half hour earlier playing the same passage at the same volume setting she didn't complain at all. The non fuse magnet I installed was in my transport. This is the only fuse and is on the ac side. I have three more to go. One each in my two sub-woofers and the last to be in my pre-amp.

Can you have to much or to refined a power supply? Is not the power supply the point source from where all gain stages arise? So why not upgrade the point of entry into the first stage of any device. Upgrading the fuse integrity is an extension of a power cord upgrade. Tom

Because replacing a fuse with a magnet that provides no catastrophic protection could seriously f**k up my $10,000 amplifiers?

Sorry, Tom. I respect the heck out of you, but the magnet non-fuse concept is a non starter with me.

Grant I respect you as well,

As I responded to someone else on this thread. I don't expect everyone to do as I have. Just here to relate my experience. You know Grant it all starts at the power supply so any component upgrade there is a pass thru all the way up the food chain. Select whatever fuse device sounds the best and makes you feel safe. Tom

Theaudiotweak,

Do you turn everything off (or unplug it) when you leave the house?

Do you have a fire extinguisher handy when you listen to music?

This may sound funny, but I am serious.
