To those who vehemently refer to the Schiit manual you're over looking something rather important and relevant.... the operative word ***** recommend ****

Please refer to English dictionary and you shall discover this is very different than a "necessity"

If Schiit recommends, I comply.

Yes, VH has the best price that I've found. The one I tried in my Yggy was way overspec''ed, so I got a properly rated one from VH. I also got one for my M3 amp.

What does the WAQy chip produce in SQ? I saws them listed here - https://www.vhaudio.com/wa-quantum-chip.html

For fuses I like to use DeoxIt on the holder and fuse ends, and then thinly coat the ends with SilClear. http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/SILCLEAR-Silver-Contact-Enhancer/productinfo/SILCLEAR/

Which DeOxit?
I still have plenty of their Pro Gold (now DeOxit Gold) which I use as a cleaner and protectant, but I steer clear of the red or blue.

And I have used the Silclear, and it does work rather well, but now I prefer the Furutech Nano liquid all by itself.

And as I mentioned above, the WAQy chips "…for me in my system, (YMMV), tighter more well defined bass, more tube like mids and up, better focus everywhere, and better dimensionality.
They remove a veil, one you didn't know you had until its no longer apparent."

They provide somewhat similar results to what a really good fuse will do.

If you solely uses headphones its most likely not that noticeable.

Its with speakers that produce bass you can feel with your body that burn in becomes apparent. That may be part of the conflict we see about this matter. Some only use headphones.

Yeah Nah!

That has been debunked so many times. Audioholics did a blind test with tin foil and no one could find a difference.

I also use Speakers and amps. Here are my cables. I've never heard a difference.

What's the context? Did you read the whole intro?

"We recommend leaving Yggdrasil on continuously for best performance.
Seriously. No kidding.

..... dictionary again, please? I would recommend you look those words up, too!

It will always come down to personal preferences.
You will do what you prefer and I will do the same.
That they will probably be different should be no surprise to anyone.

I have heard the differences, which prompted me to then dive down this rabbit hole and explored and tested and experimented with what I found, and this provided more than enough 'proof' for me.
If you have experimented with this and found nothing to it, then that is your truth.

If on the other hand you have not experimented and are satisfied with the SQ you have achieved, and that is all you require, then that works for you, but does that constitute 'proof'?

Others will and do have different experiences as we all should expect.
IOW there rarely is a one size fits all solution for everyone, and certainly not in audio.

You were not looking at the HiFi Tuning SUPREME Audiophile Fuses for that price. That's what that Amazon link showed for 75.00.

At VH Audio all go for 59.95.

Try again?... https://www.vhaudio.com/hifi-tuning.html

SR7009 and two MM7055's.

Can you show us what kind of fuse they use?

I believe Marantz uses ones that look like these.

 

[Badas]

Can you show us what kind of fuse they use?

Nope. Never looked at them.
Too hard to get to the back of them when rack is in position.
I just turn them on and use. They sound great and I have through a lot over the years.

I love the ignore feature.
