Actually, um, to my pleasant surprise, dang things work pretty good. I just installed a pair of the Premieres (one down from the beeswax)in my phono preamp. I was going to start my boutique fuse adventure with a Premiere in my Atma OTL amp, but I (duh!) ordered the wrong size (20mm instead of 30mm). So I figured what the hell and put them in my DSA Phono II instead (no return policy, darn it).
But: immediate improvement, even without break-in or orientation optimization, so I'm actually happy about my little faux pas (better to be lucky than smart!).
Benefits: more impact (I noticed that first), less grundge, more sweetness from the violins. Overall sound more solid. I like 'em.
Drawbacks: none that I have found so far. They're just a regular, UL-rated fuse with some damping material stuffed in them through a tiny drill hole. Could the damping fluid have some impact on heat dissipation inside the fuse? No idea. Could the damping material actually keep the wire from completely separating when (if) the fuse blows? Not a clue. Might exotic materials in the endcaps and filament improve it even more? Who knows (actually, some of you guys might)?
Might a beeswax filling sound better than what's in there now? You got me. I'm very happy for now, though.
