Seriously. Everyone with a 300B tube amp should be so blessed.


Very OT, but perhaps high-yield in this cohort:

I want to buy pretty voodoo SR purple fuses for some of my toys, since PC has a great sale. RTFM is not getting me anywhere. I will want fuses for:

Puritan PSM156
do the iFi SupaNova snakes even take fuses?
Holo Audio May KTE (assume Spring 3 KTE and Bliss will take same)
GS-X Mk 2 (assume Mini take same)
Feliks Envy

Anyone know what these things take (size and rating?)

TIA!

Usually it's written on the back of your Devices. Pay attention to local voltage, you will need different fuses for 110V than for 230V (just to keep in mind when googling it)

 

[incredulousity]

I don’t want to move the devices until I am replacing the fuses. Trying to be lazy here!

iFi Supernova does not take a fuse.

I can't speak to the rest.

 

[paradoxper]

I was kidding about not knowing what 5U meant. Just teasing that i “don’t need no stinking rectifiers.”

But my ER300B are on the way, so the Elrog gods have again been honored nonetheless.

We are all out of our minds. So much happier for it.

 

[incredulousity]

Totally loving Elrog Mo and PSVanes now that the latter are broken in. No such thing as too much detail. It’s like an elite SS and a top tier reference tube amp spawned a monster!

You don’t think a $200.00 fuse is going to change the sound do you?
I’ve never bought the hype on these and would rather spend my money elsewhere.
What do others think that have done this?

 

[nwavesailor]

No desire to get anywhere near the boutique fuse rabbit hole!

If I did spend $200 for a fuse, I WOULD no doubt hear a difference

…hearing is believing…I have SRPs in all headphone amplifiers…(except Violectric: fuse is soldered to board )

 

[ColSaulTigh]

I have them in everything.

I hear a difference. Not as dramatic in the amplifiers, VERY dramatic in the DAC.

YMMV.

 

[CAJames]

I'm a big believer in Synergistic Research fuses as well. For anyone who is #fusecurious I suggest this: replace your glass fuses with ceramic fuses that shouldn't cost more than a dollar (euro , GBP) or two. If you don't hear a difference then you are done. If you do you have something to think about.

Fair enough. I will give the ceramic fuse a go and see. Thanks for the suggestion.

They are legit.

No fatigue?

 

[incredulousity]

No fatigue whatsoever. This was not the case before the PSVanes were well burned-in. They took longer than the Elrogs. I know this, because when the Elrogs were new, I first tried well broken-in Melz 1578 to compare the Elrogs against my AN4300E. PSVanes also took 200 hours on my Euforia AE.

I see the Icon 205d listed on the 1st page here but does anyone have any experience with this amp with both standard 300b & 205d tubes?

I was impressed with a demo of the icon HP8 mkii today but the 205d is harder to come by for a demo.
