Fuses for the golden-eared boys

A mate of mine noticed this recently. I can't recall seeing gold-plated
fuses advertised before, but it does seem such an obvious device for
parting an audiophool from their money that it must have been done
before.

I wonder how you'd write the patent.

Claim 1. A new device for separating high fidelity enthusiasts from
their money .....

"Unfortunately, no instructions are provided to determine correct
orientation. Frankly, it really was not necessary as it was easy to tell by
ear which direction the arrow should point." LOL

"each fuse is tested to ensure optimum performance."

That url didn't work for me; instead see

"Each fuse is marked with an arrow indicating signal flow. Unfortunately,
no instructions are provided to determine correct orientation. Frankly,
it really was not necessary as it was easy to tell by ear which direction
the arrow should point."

You might just have cornered the market on high end audio gear with that
claim.

Another jewel of wisdom:

"Some believe higher performance is possible by using a fuse rated higher
than the stock one."

I think the test where he could hear the difference
was flawed. The fuses he tested had been previously
used - therefore, they were already broken in.

But the *fuseholder* isn't gold-plated !

ROFL!

"Some believe higher performance is possible by using a fuse rated higher

Some years ago the local Trading Standards officers found a bloke on
Bolton (Manchester) market selling "everlasting fuses". They couldn't
get him for misrepresentation either- these fuses were hacked-off
lengths of six inch nails.

A billion years ago, when the fuses screwed into the same type socket as
a light bulb, they used to recommend a penny as a temporary replacement
until you could get to town to buy a new fuse.

Then, somebody invented the fustat. ;-)

I've read that a gold-tin contact galls terribly.

Thanks!

Quote:
I swapped the Stingray's fuse first and upon powering up, I noted the
difference right away, even from a cold start. I noted slightly greater
transparency and less hash and grain, not unlike a decent power cable.
End quote.
LOL

I notice some carbon resistors on the mains panel where the fuse is.
These should be replaced by lower noise metal film.
