Gold Plated Fuses


Recommended Posts

I'll leave you all to fight this one out - http://www.aaudioimports.com/ShowProduct.asp?hProduct=37

"each and every fuse has also been accurately measured and checked"

And how exactly do you check a fuse without destroying it?

According to the 6 Moons review the lack of directional arrow orientation instructions was not a problem because "frankly, it really was not necessary as it was easy to tell by ear which direction the arrow should point."

"Each Isoclean fuse is packed separately with a thick cleaning cloth you use before installing the fuses. The gold plating is of a high quality, and with the supplied cloth, I buffed it to a shine."


To gold plate a fuse -- an inherently nonlinear device that doesn't belong in the signal path at all -- and then to buff the gold plating to a shine, adds new meaning to the term "polishing a [fecal sample]"

So apparently you cannot tell by ear? Some kind of audiophile you are.

Of course, since my Monoblocks run off a dedicated 400A, 3 phase supply I'm calling the company to get pricing on the big ones.

Ashamed as I am that I had not taken this into account, I did check and YES! They are all facing the RIGHT direction!

Or should the Left one be facing Left? This Audiophile stuff is complicated!!! [:S]

Fuses are for Wimps! I took all mine out. Man, talk about a low noise floor... I don't hear a thing.

 

 

LOL  Jim, I wonder how much we can sell you No Fuse, Fuse for?   Lots I bet! Idea

I like it Dennie, you're in for half!... Hi-Fi Jims Fuseless Fuses, better than the real thing! Starting at $299, it even makes a Bose Wave into a "giant killer"!

Don't electrons flow negative to positive? Which way do you point the arrows?

I suggest calling the manufacturer of yoru amp. It will give them something to talk about.

I think your right! I had better call and see! This audiophile stuff gets more confusing with every post!

Jim, Hurry up with production of the "No Fuse Fuse", before Adcom wants their amp back! [*-)]

" Don't electrons flow negative to positive?"

Actually, they don't flow at all....they vibrate and remain in relatively the same general position +- the vibration distance.
