hifi tuning fuses
Right, look don't flame me alright!!
Saw some posts on my local forum with fellas talking about gettng great results from some of these audiophile fuses..... at €30 a pop!! Jesus, you wouldn't want to be blowing them!! Anyway, interestingly, the hifi tuning ones use a little sch as a logo. Its a diode with a cap in parallel. Anyone ever taken one of these apart and had a look whats inside?

They are probably full of oil. Snake oil
 Looking at the FFT plots on that review, they all look near as dammit the same apart from when the Premier SC Power Cord is used. And at 700 US dollars I think there's better places to spend money.

$45 a fuse. Sheesh. Is this guy related to Greg Kait? The stuff about directionality is absolutely hilarious. One thing I agree with- the snake oil peddler refers to himself as a magician. Not only is he in the business of duping people, he actually does one good trick- he makes stupid people's money disappear.

The thing that made me laugh the most were the pictures of the apparent improvement to the sound stage.

Ooooookaaaaaayyy. I'll just step back carefully from this one.... (cue slow footsteps.now faster, door slamming and mad dash away!)
So, I can take it then that you guys all think its bunkum? I thought the repsonses from the manufacturer was good "a good magician never tells his secrets". Gonna use that sometime. Anyway, at €30 a pop someone is making money. Fran |

Anything put up to the primary side of the transformer is a complete snake oil product. By the time the current has gone through a transformer, rectifier and smoothing cap bank, there will not be any noticeable difference.
