While we are on the subject of fuses.....
I gotta say ladies and gentlemen, it would behove you to at least CLEAN your fuses. Even if they LOOK clean! I just did the fuses on the outputs of my MC 7000MKII line conditioner. It has never been done and the unit has some years on it.
I cannot believe the difference. I used some CRC electrical contact cleaner and did the inside contact of the machine, the fuse and the cap. Even though the fuses looked clean at first glance, once can easily tell the difference of a clean one when placed next to a "dirty" one. The new fuse shines with a jewel like quality that the precleaned fuse simply does not. The results are startling. Every possible attribute of the music has improved. Every descriptive applies to this tweak.
My Q-tip did not get nasty, but it did get a little discolored from the film that was on the fuses and holders. Basically, the same attributes of the polished fuse became the same attributes to the sound. The sound was "polished" I can hear the room much more easily on recordings. I have to use the veil analogy. You don't even realize you have a veil until it is lifted. Easily one of the best free tweaks. DO IT!
