I think you will find that these ceramic fuses are filled will a sand like material and that keeps the fuse element from vibrating .

That's crazy! It can't be! I'll be buying them tomorrow for my Mc system. Thanks!

Fuse can give very good listening no need buy hihg end receiver or cable

I wrapped several glass and creamic fuses with the EMI farady fabric tape and every one showed significant improvements. be sure to cut it to not touch the metal caps and do 2 wraps. Even the HiFi tuning fuse got better!!! Absolute cheapest high impact tweek ever!

Thank you for this neat little hack, worth trying out! Congratulations on 1K subscribers, well done and all my best for the next 1K from downunder!

Synergistic Research PURPLE Quantum Fuses and the new ''King'' Audio Magic Masterpiece M-1 Beeswax Fuse are both outstanding audiophile fuses and are like upgrading to a new component at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.

What's vibrating is the tiny filament inside the fuse. Ceramic fuses usually also contain sand like material inside. More than likely the sand is preventing the filament from vibrating, acting like a damper.

Probalby something to do with the very thin filament, allowed to freely vibrate, in the glass fuse. ( a bit off-topic: Ceramic fuses are designed with fire prevention in mind.)

Las Vegas local audiophile here. Just found your channel. You are spot on and very knowledgeable. Thanks for the info. Also, love PS Audio and McIntosh. Would love to meet you and listen to that system. Excellent video.

To also know. Fuse direction in its holder can/will effect the sound as well. Don't ask me why. I just know it does.

Try Littelfuse 285 series,,,, very very good!

At least it's not a 5.000 $ fuse remeber and all this is feed by a pole transformer full of oxygenated copper that feed a microwave and an electric car, so lovely.

Thank you for mentioning me in your video, I am so glad it made a difference for you. It's really surprising how such a cheap mod can make a difference :)

Fuses can definitely make a difference. I suspect the more revealing of a component/system, the easier is it to discern the sonic difference. It is a paradigm shift for so many who view fuses conventionally. Great lesson for the more left-brain skeptics: open your mind and be willing to experiment...

Defo going to get some amr fuses, sounds like a really good little tweak.

What difference can you detect between a ceramic and Synergistic Research Purple?

Well I guess I am going to try this out. I was at Frys yesterday but forgot to bring my glass fuses with me so next trip.

i dont argue since i didnt try any yet but here is the thing a fuse is basicly a resistor all the current funnel in a thin wire if the resistor value was zero it would not be a fuse it would be a wire according to ohm law p = r×i 2 p = power and heat so if r is 0 then no heath produce i believe it is rhe cheap contact at both end that add up the resistance perhap even creating tiny arcing it is like those cheap bindind post strap on speaker that are cheap material also but then again should not we also change the fuse holder look like crappy material also .....or a cheap power outlet that create tiny arcing because of poreous metal inside i believe your expensive fuse have a better connector reducing the resistance and arcing also the very idea of cleaning the tarnish on fuse holder and the fuse itself might very well make a difference as when you clean the tarnish in iec ac inlet it make a good difference also that is my thought but i will try it for sure but i would not pay 250$ for a fuse ever

So far no luck finding the right fuse for the cd3... ceramic 315 mAmp are apparently not a thing in the Netherlands.... I have found one for my quad 606 power amp though! Going to pick it up tomorrow really curiouse see what it does! I'm also on the hunt for better tubes for the cd3. Looking at the BT's but I also came across the Sophia Electric 6sn7 a grade tubes. People seem to love them so I think I will give them a try. I can also get a set of those really high end psvane tubes but people say they are bright and my system is a little on the bright side of things to start with.... I also bought a couple of those big and thicc bamboo cutting boards and Wouw, the bass got notticibly tighter. Nice hack! Now of to find new hacks haha

Can you provide a link for the exact fuses you used for the MVP861? Thanks!

What does foundation and authority mean in relation to the sound please?

went to fry's only found NTE brand fuses.

Cool video! Really interesting. You should try to switch out the fuse in in the yaqin cd3! I have one to so I am curiouse about the result hahaha

Thanks. So you're talking the fuse in the plug? Not any fuses inside the player or amp?

Check out "Russ Andrews accessories" a British HI FI accessory manufacturer (they ship all over the world) they sell expensive Fuses at around £25.00 Each ! and LOADS of other items.

Hi are you replacing the fuse in the chasis - or are you replacing the fuse in the plug? (Here in uk we have a fuse in the plug as well)

Hi There is it the fuses in the actual devices you change or the fuses in the power cord feeding the device, also Is any device more important to do over another. I have integrated amp, streamer, and NUC thanks Sean

Hello Did you change the fuse in your McIntosh Preamp. I see you have a newer model of McIntosh preamp in your setup.I have a McIntosh C49 preamp and am really interested in trying out the Synergistic Research fuse. I don't see any fuse catridge by the power cord inlet or outside of the unit. But i do find a fuse inside of the unit (underside of the body) where lies close to the back. Do you know is that the one fuse i need to replace ? Or where can i get resource like service manual for this practice ? And any idea about the fuse located in McIntosh MC312 power amp ? Thanks

Wow really interesting!

You do know ceramic is the insulting material not the conductor right? oh dear.

Any recommendations for XLR interconnects for a lower end system? I only have about 3k in the equipment but I am switching over to balanced for the first time.

I tried looking for F1.5L250V Cartridge ceramic Fuses for my Yaqin cd 3, but coudn't find it. :(

Bussmann 13A are already ceramic and they are regular fuses...

Fuses can make a huge difference. Some audiophiles just dont´believe. Ok, i feel sorry for them. But, if an audio manufacturer does not believe in power cords and fuses, I do not believe in the manufacturer.

How do you afford it ?

you really hate me when I say this..... probably the old fuse had some problems....

I mounted bypass switch so I can play and choose with or wothout fuse, the best fuse is NO fuse...............;off coarse at my own risk...............

If your CD Player is affected by fuse vibrations, that's an incredibly bad CD Player with terrible design. Get something that's more than 20$, you won't have these issues.

Why don't you get a proper turntable what djs use ?? Those things are the real deal !! Well they have to be if they play for over60000 people live , wouldn't you say so sir ?? In all honest truth , don't worry , just between you and I , technics 1200/1210 sound way way Way better
