Mine has a F3AL250v. Where did you bought ISOclean fuse?

But when looking at the backside of my amp, I found this It seems the fuse pre-installed in the amp is in accordance with those specified in the manual (but not with what screened on the casing). So what should I believe, the manual, or the amp casing? I bought mine from a distributor in my country. In your case, I checked ISOCLEAN website but couldn't find any dealer in Sweden, but you can try making contact with the distributor in US or Canada to see if they will ship to Sweden. Here is the link. ISOCLEAN POWER By the way, in addition to ISOCLEAN there are many good alternative such as Furutech (Japan), or Hifi-Tuning (German). Some say these two are superior to ISOCLEAN, but more expensive, of cource. |

Unlike PrTV with his high quality fuse, the improvement wasn't significant but it was noticeable, and along with the better tubes, tube dampers, quality ICs, etc, fine tunes the 332 into an even better amp than it already is. |

What would be the best to do when one wants to swap headphones on a 332, power it off and then swap headphones? Or is turning down the volume to 0% good enough? |

My basic knowledge of the circuit is that the fuse is designed to prevent a surge of power from 'swamping' the device, from either a short in the device or a surge down the mains. Clearly there is a fuse in the power cable, and then a fuse in the device, usually as a backup, or a fast burn to prevent possible harm. Given that the fuse is on the AC side of the circuit, and that the amplification is on the DC side, how does the fuse change anything, acoustically? Cheers BT |
