so it seems the default fuse u18 and c18 and x18 all came with 500ma? but the gustard's own upgraded is 630ma (no 500ma available), so does it matter getting 500 vs 630, any sonic differences?
No problem using a 630. If it made that much of difference I'm sure Gustard would have a gold 500 available instead the the off-the-shelf 500's they supply with their products. The quality of a fuse can make a sonic difference not it's amperage rating. Go for the purple, they do make a nice difference.
ok, so should i got for 500 or 630 on the U18? Since another poster did mentioned the sale going on, which I am planning to get some, but just not sure what would 630 cause to the gear, or should I stick with 500ma... or I guess 130ma isn't going to blow up my gear, rather than fuse blowing up... but I guess it's always save to use the same default number..
Many people have stated to get the 5x20 size 630ma slow blow. To ease your mind this is what your options would be if you were to purchase the Gustard brand upgrade fuses
by the way, is there a direction on sr purple to insert the fuse.. I know in gustard's own fuse default or gold, there is arrow pointing, how do I know which way to put the SR purple?
so with the latest sr purple I should insert it this way? where the purple line in the SR logo points toward the arrow ->Yes, 2 fuses inside. The extra fuse is just a spare ...
Q: Are fuses directional?
A: Yes, fuses are directional. Electricity should flow from the left to the right ( S ---> R) when you view the fuse. If you do not know the direction of flow you should listen to the fuse inserted in both directions. One direction will sound more detailed. This is the correct way.
Q: Do fuses have a burn in period?
A: Yes, most products have a settling in period. The first 200-300 hours of use are the most crucial.
why did you get 500 and 630 and not the same ma for both u18 and x18,
Not sure all retailers of SR offer this but https://www.thecableco.com/ has a 30 day return policy on the fuses. If you don't think they make a difference in your system....just send them back for a refund. I kept mine!
Yes they are directional. Install it the way you indicated.
I see you have r26 why sell u18 also Ferrum stack amp for sale, and you used ican pro sig too, are they not good, what are you using now?
I'm experimenting with different sources and gear. Also, consolidating as i'm about to build a new pc for HQP.
