Hi again folks - now I want to try fuse rolling for my amp!

Is this the most recommended type, or any other suggestions (affordably)?

I need 3 types:
- Mains: 5x20mm 3.15A, slow blow
- 5x20mm 100mA, slow blow
- 6.35mm 500V 350mA, slow blow (these 2 are for transformer power supplies)

It looks like he has 3 types. Not sure if this is the best type or which he has for the above sizes

Silver Alloy fuse

Black & Red Nano Fuses made of single crystal copper alloy + single crystal silver wire and are directional

I was planning on these:

Expensive stuff

I read somewhere they were not directional, should I check my fuses?

Nope fuses are not directional, but it seems to be a special design from that mentioned seller.

Ironically that's the same stuff recommended to me! But I'd much rather see what can be had for like $5 before I spend hundreds, just in case they can do anything good.

Thus being said, anyone else here have recommendations on affordable hi-fi fuses?

This is the fuse I bought to compare to the Telos audio fuse that I put in my ares ii.

This aliexpress fuse sounds better.

Has anyone tried Odin ethernet RJ45 cables?

Yes. I have a 1m from router/modem to PC. I like it, was an obvious improvement over the Cat 5e Gigabyte that was being used.

I use the Telos fuse can you advise where the Aliexpress fuse is better?

I only remember that it was more resolving and better clarity in the top end. Might be other stuff that was affected but I didn't pay attention since the resolution was enough for me.

Sounds like good bang for buck.

I decided to get one of those flux-50 knock-offs to use on my usbridge sig streamer. The reasoning is simple. I have both my master clock and streamer plugged to the same outlet of a fancy zerozone isolation transformer. This unit has partly independent filters before each of the two outlets, but nothing prevents the streamer from contaminating the clock, being on the same one, beside the cords and respective psus... So i hope the flux 50 will help... Who knows...

It's cool to see you here Fred! Well, the Flux-50 can sometimes work where you least expect it so try it in a few spots. I like mine before my tube amp and also before the DI-20 (both only when combined with specific AC cables).

I have tried Aucharm, not this red one though. They make good fuses. I can also recommend the Gustard fuse.

I figure i can't go wrong with the streamer. When power draw is small and steady, filtering normally works well. I will either use it on the clock or the streamer. Most likely the streamer.

As for other knock-offs, one expensive one is the Dragon cord. But it works so very well on my Audio-gd Master-3.

Most fuse makers state the fuse will sound better applied from live to neutral according to the arrow. Does not make much sense but they do mention this....

Hey all, I have been using the knock off Nordost Odin Gold power cables and xlr cables for a couple months now and have been more than satisfied. However, after adding the knock off Furutech Flux-50 in front of my genuine Furutech TP80 and enjoying the difference I am wondering if anybody has tried the knock off Furutech nano flux power cables or speaker cables.

 

[musicinmymind]

I need Odin gold power cable which 4 mtr lenght, I did not find any options. Is there any available for 4 mts?

 

[OCC7N]

Any body on this thread, using Furutech e-TP80S NCF?

I was thinking of buying it with a SR Purple fuse and then use my Furutech Flux-50 NCF after it.

I am wondering if it does something close the FLUX-50 cable
