That's interesting, Roger. I have made no measurements but my impression of two Blue fuses in the system are of better musical flow, more natural top end (not exactly rolled off but just a lot nicer), and ever so slightly tighter bass. The shimmer and decay of cymbals is really sweet, jumping up the realism factor. A slight harshness playing Spotify music from the Pi has receded too, recently improved even further by turning upsampling on.
All in all, I love the sound and am picking deeply from my collection little gems that I haven't played in years. Everything is giving me more than I remember the last time I played it. With my eyes closed I just fall into the music.

Musical efficacy aside, Post implementation of the Blue fuses I am hitting the same in room measured dB levels at the same points within my reference tracks with 8% less attenuation, somewhat more subjectively I am also noticing an increase in a couple of room nodes and reflection on high frequencies that were previously acceptable in the interests of an live and not over damped room, not a problem to ameliorate, I am also physically experiencing an increase in base energy being transmitted through the parquet flooring on drum heavy passages. An indication to me that IMHO my equipment with Blue's inserted in the current rails are receiving an improved power supply delivery. Bonkers ! All this from fuses Great news. |

Be careful what you do with your base energy. Too much and you may end up base jumping....
So how does a fuse before the voltage regulator and power supply components affect a system so much that there is a claimed 8% difference?
I have no idea, other than it is magic....

Perhaps by remaining more linear and stiff on the current rail blockage point that is a fuse over a bogo 20p fuse during high current demand to the power supply bank ?
By being less susceptible to and performing more efficiently as the thermal load on the fusible material rises ? Remember...the life blood that is the current supply to ones equipment is flowing through that few MM of wire and conductors!
A measured and calculated 8% Wonkey, you might also conduct the same experimentation with one of the fuses on the current rail of your pre or power for the cost of a few Euro to return the fuse.
However you are not here for that are you ?

A fuse is only a component in your system, stands to reason that if you change this component for another one (Better or Worse) then you may hear a change in sound.
I upgraded a fuse in my CD player and thought it was a worthwhile improvement cant remember the make but I think they were £40 for 3.....(I tried them in various system components but only noticed a sound improvement when fitted to my CDP )

are we talking about the fuse inside plug or braker inside consumer unit or inside the piece of hifi, because that would be 3

I was refering to the main current rail 20x5mm fuse, often chassis mounted.

Nanook it would be best if you introduced yourself in the Hello from New Members section as requested at sign-up. That way we'll know who you are and there'll be no mix-ups.
