I think I don't build any of good speakers yet, I enjoyed a lot what I've build no matter other people may say it is good or craps...
Sorry for another OT 😀 ...

We just need to respect anything what we or anybody's build,
it is a matter of "taste" & $$$

The only way a fuse could have any effect on an amplifier's operation is if it had too much resistance, or a nonlinear transfer function.

If the OP's original claims are true, then removing and reinserting the fuse simply removed some oxidation from the contacts. Oxidation is real and can cause many problems.

As far as the marketing claims about the fuse, it's 100% bull.

I'm pleased to see someone with the resolve to post this. It would be interesting to find out whether your purchases behave as oddly as the OP's or there are instructions about polarity but then again, maybe you don't want to find out. 😉

I am very pleased with the speakers B & W 804
The 802 is too expensive for me to dream 😉

There is not much wong with 804s at the likely price point. We all have to compromise our list of wanna-haves unless we have plenty of cash. Rather than comparing the OP's system with our up-market commercial gear, it would better, I think, to focus on the central issue.

My concern is that people are misled by manufacturers, copywriters and Hi-fi salesmen into believing that products with no mechanism for improving the audio performance of a connected device are claimed to do so in virtually any situation, any type of gear(even if it has nothing to do with audio like a power supply, digital circuits, motor drives.) Logically, this must be BS, even if unsuspecting Joe Public has no curiosity or aptitude for reasoning it out.

As usual, there is a bogus or charlatan academic who invented the product and with many thousands of hours and dollars, developed it from an amazing new scientific discovery to a highly sophisticated and brilliantly engineered work of art in his high-tech facilities at some undisclosed site. Yep, same old story - time and again.

BTW dazz, still waiting for you to tell us the important details of the manufacturer's instructions. At least tell us what you were required to do to fit them correctly in any given application, please :yes:

Well, you wait until midnight at a full moon. You speak in tongues and wear garlic around your neck. Then you will be able to walk on hot coals without burning your feet.

After your fire walk, you gingerly stick fresh rutabaga up your bum and while still chanting, you insert the fuse ever so carefully. If you face mecca while doing this procedure, you will achieve another decade of distortion reduction.

If you don't follow this procedure, the fuse will not perform as claimed and your amp will overheat.

No manufacturer instruction needed. All it took for me was an open mind when reading feedback from forum (different forum but still had knowledgeable people there, fortunately) members.

Ah I see you have some clue how to install it correctly 😀
I hope it can be tried to break the magic out there, who knows :2c:

You'll never resolve any of these Snake Oil threads. It comes down to someone who has spent a load of money and wants to believe that he got his money's worth.

It works better if you place it in different orientations according to the phase of the moon, the lunar attraction of the snake oil makes a massive difference.

I can't believe that highly-regarded companies are selling these things. More puzzling is the artwork on the fuses. A diode which is bypassed with a capacitor.
Please .... somebody buy one of these things and test it to see what the hell is inside. If it's more than a thin piece of wire, it's dangerous and should not be sold. In the event that one of these 'fuses' causes a fire ...........

Why is selling this stuff by making these claims this legal? Unless they can back up the claims with some sort of science / engineering reasoning, making these claims they are effectively playing a con trick and nothing more than selling by misrepresentation.


Edit: Now I'm getting adverts for Hifi Tuning Fuses....:cuss:
