What's up fellows had some personal issues going on a wasn't listening to my rig. Hope everyone is OK except for that @Guidostrunk and that @bcowen dude and 98% of the rest of you.

Hope everything is ok Thomas!

I am happy to see you posting again! The quick update is: holy grail fuses! Synergistic Research Purples, Hifi Tuning Supremes…you can count the fuse apostles on two maybe three fingers…

I'm 31.6% happy, 62.8% indifferent, and whatever is left would be "other" (math is hard).

Thanks for the info. I am going to just stick with swapping fuses with the exact same rating, and not worry about damaging my precious gear (DAC and amps). I figure the people that designed the gear, put a certain value fuse in said gear for a reason, and I see no point in deviating from that.

Completely agree.

I know that I’ve seen that 31.6% elsewhere…

If you remove the % sign, it's my IQ.

Where do we get these fuses? I think Keith put something different in my MJ2 during the mod. Called it an upgrade. He made me a believer in caps and cables so I'm interested in one of these fuses. Lol

I have purchased from VH Audio, located in Wisconsin, through their website: they have HFT, SR-P, +…

Kind of curious why you would go with the next value up with the fuse? Seems to me you would want the exact same one, and going with one size up means that it won't blow when it's supposed to? I have the same size SR fuse as the stock fuse in my RH-5 and it's been doing it's thing perfectly.

From my experience, nominal rated SR fuses prematurely blows ups on my equipment, during the powering on.

On my tube DAC, where original fuse was installed slow blow 500mA value, I ended up with 1A value SR orange fuse(500mA, 630mA and 800mA blew up). The same thing was happened with my Uptone audio JS-2 LPS, where I ended up 2 values up of nominal rating with SR orange fuse.

That's where I just bought from. Great customer service from Chris.

Yeah Chris instructed me to go up a value as well - maybe I should have gone two? Went up from 1.6A to 2A

Forget holy grail tube rolling, scratch fuse pyramiding…This is all that is needed…for us and for solid/state conversion therapists…

Don't forget the Beeswax fuse !

I have heard that one is warm and wide, and can be too much of a good thing, so I passed on those but looked hard.

Shipped within minutes of my order placed on a Friday, and I had my fuse on Monday. Alfred the owner answered all my questions within minutes and was very easy to deal with, and is highly recommend by me.

Not to discourage other choices in fuses but, for anyone interested, I have found the exact, stock one. I contacted Little Fuse to positively identify the one installed by the factory.

I was able to obtain the exact same fuse from Mouser.

The part number is 576-0239001 MXP

I've been a regular customer of VH Audio for a long time, and Chris has always been a pleasure to deal with. I've also purchased a few things from Alfred over the years and have had perfect transactions every time. I wanted a backup pair of KR 300BXLS tubes for my speaker amp a few years ago, and when I saw he was an authorized dealer it was a no-brainer to buy from him. With tubes that pricey I'd only buy from someone that would take care of a problem if needed, and I have no doubt he would.

Now I just need to save up for the Voxactive Ampeggio's. At 108dB sensitivity, I could get to rock concert volume levels with my phone. I might need to save up for a couple weeks though.

What a powerhouse! 27 whole milliwatts into 300 ohms. Could easily drive the ZMF's to almost whisper levels!!
