RE: Haven't we gone over this before?

There is only one fuse in my power amp. The value is the max value the designer "allows". Anyone "should" be able to hear that a bigger fuse sounds better and no fuse at all, a short, will sound the best ,IMHO. This is not to say anyone should do this but it does lay the ground work for the rational for bigger than necessary diodes to be used. Bigger solid state outputs will also sound better. A bigger power supply, bigger transformers, bigger cap banks, bigger wire will also sound better, not only in my opinion but the opinion of Nelson Pass. You might want to read what the engineer Nelson Pass has to says about power supplies and bigger. Also a bigger power supply will often if not always have a bigger , safely and appropriately installed, bigger fuse. A big problem companies have with bigger is the bigger cost . Big Tweaker
