After seeing your above post it reminded me I added a couple of silver hifi  fuses out of curiosity to a order for some other bits and pieces a while back so I dug one of them out and put it the crack not really expecting much and I am actually quiet surprised and not to sure about what I am hearing having only listened to a couple of tracks so far. For $2 a pop they are not exactly high end designer fuses and are a inexpensive enough way to test the waters.

There is a 16 page thread on Headfi on audiophile fuses as people discuss the various sonic differences between brands while "fuse rolling". If anything its an entertaining read...

Was tempted to ask if any of them remembered to change the fuse on the other end of their meter long IEC cords :P

I've tried some of the fuses discussed in that Head-Fi thread.   Mostly in my W4S DAC2. 

That eBay link looks quite interesting.   Thanks for the post.  Might have to buy a few and put them in a vintage Sansui and Marantz

In some gear a fuse can make a difference as can a power cord.   I use modified Shunyata Venom 3 power cords throughout my system.   Have one modified and set aside for the Crack (should elves come in the night and finally assemble it).

I never believed in either one of them.  Fuse or cords but hearing is believing.  I know it may be hard for some folks to believe a fuse can benefit the sound of a piece of gear, or even a power cord. I was the same way.

One of the reasons I like this forum is because folks believe and know that capacitors can change the sound.  I know so many folks who do not.  In all the time I worked in television I  never met one video engineer who would ever believe a capacitor can help determine the voice of a piece of gear.
