RE: Fuses are safety protection devices!

Posted by throwback on April 28, 2017 at 05:52:35:
The Audio Magic fuses that I use are standard UL-approved fuses. A hole is drilled in the case to introduce two kinds of damping ingredients: some sort of powder to reduce RFI/EMI and beeswax to reduce mechanical vibrations.

I do not know if or how these ingredients affect the safety performance of the fuse. I have had no problems so far.

They sound better to me than the stock fuses did. I started with one Audio Magic fuse to check it out and ended up replacing fuses in several components. I have not tried other "boutique" fuses.
