Got one of these used with gold knobs, feels like a real bargain. Can't wait to try it out.

Synergistic Research PINK Quantum Fuses × 1
Small 5x20mm (0.75") / Fast (F) / 16A

The above is correct I believe. Anyone confirmed the orientation?

Yes, that is the correct fuse.

I’m in the process of moving cross country and packed up most of my audio gear this weekend.

Agartha, way too many drivers (I might have a slight problem here), VO and Caldera are all packed up and ready for the move

I kept my AC and Silver Fox out for daily use (plus my portable rig). This is a testament to how great of an amp the Silver Fox is (even with ZMF Dynamics). I don’t feel like I’m missing anything tbh

I could be wrong but is the fuse for the Silver Fox not supposed to be a small 16amp Slow Blow? I have a slow blow fuse in my Silver Fox. Do I have the wrong fuse? Is it a problem?

You can either use a 6.3 Amp Slow Blow or 16 Amp Fast Blow (see below)

Yes using a 16 Amp Slow Blow could present a problem

You have a choice of a 6.3 Amp slow blow or a 16 Amp fast blow, as the design engineer of this model already stated in a post a couple pages back. They will both offer the same level of protection in this device. The advantage of the 16 Amp fast blow in this application is it can improve sound quality a little. Understanding the time delay involved for continuous amp draw is the key between a slow blow and a fast blow fuse and even more so in how circuit breakers function in your home.

Cen.grand said the fuse does not have to be a fast blow. A 'timed' slow blow can also be used.

I have been told that the 16A slow blow is correct. The way I figure it shouldn’t make much difference slow blow or fast blow with 16A fuse. I may be wrong. In any case I have been told that the 16A slow blow is the correct fuse.

 

[phoneslave86]

Does 'timed' mean there are different types of slow-blow fuses. Or is that just what a slow-blow fuse is, a timed fuse (I'm guessing). Sounds like simply all 5x20 16A Slow blow or Fast blow will work.

Nice to see I'm not alone in this regard, if it’s a dynamic driver, I use parallel, and if it’s a planar, I go BTL!

There’s no wrong answer here. I’ve actually been enjoying BTL with my Atrium Closed lately.

 

[shwnwllms]

I have been listening exclusively to my Silver Fox with my Atrium Closed for weeks now (the rest of my audio gear is packed up for the move). I haven't even turned on a tube amp in over a month.

Although I still can't quite put into words what I am hearing from this amp (I can but I am afraid I won't do it justice tbh), I can say one thing for certain is that The Silver Fox is making me question every preconception I had about Solid State and ZMF Dynamics.

Also for those with Holo Audio DACs it's an excellent pairing, especially after the latest HQPlayer update with DAC Correction Filters. Holo May KTE + Cen.Grand Silver Fox + HQPlayer is a combo that can't be beat.
