In Reply to: RE: AUDIO MAGIC NANO-LIQUID FUSES.....WOW !!.... posted by HiFiSoundGuy on January 10, 2012 at 09:05:41
can a liquid fuse blow out? If it breaks or blows up, you'll never get it all cleaned up, I would think!

Your post might be just a joke but the liquid does not conduct anything. It is a regular fuse with a polamer filling to damp ringing. Sort of like a ceramic filled fuse.

assumed the liquid contains Nano Particles that conduct. And if you got that stuff in your room, you'd Never get rid of all of it. Nano or not?
It would be interesting to see it's response time curve! I'm thinking REALLY slow-blow. I just tried to track down the product specifications to see and what do you know? No luck. I'd just solder a wire across the fuse holder before buying an unspecified product with no safety ratings from a bogus vendor.

Agreed. The 1st job of the fuse is to protect the equipment, 2nd job is to not harm/influence sonics. Without data to show that it does the 1st and most important job, it doesn't matter if it does the 2nd job or not.
So, what's different here, besides ~2 cents versus 60 dollars price?
I have no experience with Audio Magic fuses - but I do with couple different types of Hi-Fi Tuning, and also Furutech. Yes, they do work, improving sound appreciably in resolving system. No, I did not bother to contact manufacturers to obtain data sheets.

Respected company vs. fly-by-night company. (Name alone is suspect.)

Actually, Audio Magic's been around for 16 years. If I have to wait longer than that to establish market stability...well, wait, my 8 yr old HDTV only has one DVI input! (Remember those?) Foiled again.

Hi Geoff-
Where is that quote from? Pardon my ignorance, but I only recall it being uttered in that exact form in a song from "The Catherine Wheel". A quick Google search turned up nothing on the money, but many oblique references to religious texts (mostly eastern), where most of the operative words existed, but not in that specific quote. The idea was there, just not the exact quote. Thus my query. Thanks!
(Oh yes, I still cannot believe we are arguing about whether premium fuses make a difference or not! To the nay sayers I put it thusly: They do. Get over it.)
Old and in the Way is the title of and old Jerry Garcia album.
Sorry, Geoff, I wasn't clear, obviously. I was referring instead to, "An ordinary man has no Means of deliverance". Apologies for the confusion. (It certainly sounds religious in origin.)
Thanks.
Ah, that one. That's a quote uttered by William Burroughs in the movie, Naked Lunch.
some liquids are not conductive ie pure water, transformer oil etc.
Yes, pure water.....in my experience DeIonized is indeed non-conductive. Too bad it won't be that was after sticking it in a fuse. DI water has resistivity measured in Megaohms.
Not only that......but the water or whatever, may soak enough heat away to substantially change the fuses 'blow' characteristics.
If you're nutty enough to believe in fuse microphonics, at least try a standard ceramic fuse before spending the big bucks on liquid filled fuses.
Too much is never enough
