You don't seem to get what neo's suggesting (which I, for one, agree with) ...

The fuse holders which Magnepan use degrade the sound - even if you have a $100 HiFi Tuning fuse in them. So if you want to get maximum SQ from your fancy fuse purchase ... replace the fuse holders with, say, an Acme Audio Labs cryoed fuse holder. However, you might have to make up a little angle-bracket to attach it to the frame.

Secondly, talking about the fuse on the ribbon:
* I'm assuming 'copper bar' means something that's a similar diameter to a fuse - so 1/4" (4g)?
* HFs, IMO, sound much better when they go through thin wire - say 18g, max. So you are not getting the best sound you could get, given the stock fuse holders.
* Yes, the copper bar sounds better than the stock fuse but you will get a much clearer sound by replacing the 'bar' by, say 4 strands of teflon-insulated solid-core wire - like you get from Cat5/Cat6 cable.

But still not as good as bypassing the fuse altogether.

Your Aussie mate,

Andy
