Sorry folks but I've had great results using aftermarket IsoClean fuses on several other components over the last couple of years and I may pop one of the new HiFi tuning silver/gold black jobs into my DecWare amp.
Way back when, the Audio Critic wrote about how much sonic degradation fuses can make. I took him up and replaced the fuses in my speakers with solid wire, and did the same with the speaker protection fuse.
The results were positive, less grain, a smoother more relaxed sound, if this was snake oil, fill the tank.
Anyway when the "improved" fuses came out I figured for a few bucks what's the harm? I'll only know if I try them,and at least my speakers etc will now have some type of protection.
Well the riddicule I recieved from all the Aczel zealots(he switched sides and become the audio myth buster)who said it just couldn't be so,was the fodder for a lengthy series of debates.
Some folks are stubborn,there is a lot of misconceptions,like there is if you tell someone that a 2 watt amp outperforms a 1000 watt amp. Someone's always going to say "it can't be so, prove it to me".
For me everything makes a difference,and a more robust fuse in my mind is no different than a better well made anything ,be it a power cord, tube or fuse.
I never would have believed how much better my amp sounds after I replaced the stock rectifier with an old Sylvania, so why wouldn't a stock fuse be any different?
When I buy one I'll report my findings,but in all honesty, the only way to know is buy doing it also.
I don't think it's too big a leap of faith to make the investment. Overpriced ,well hell ya, but,if it adds more to the fun I am having then what's the harm?
