It's ONE OF THE fuse brand for those who cares about the very last drop of better sound quality they can squeeze out from their equipment. There're many true believers in tuning fuse so simply because you find the value is out of proportion either from your belief or budget that doesnt meant i am "gila". Plenty of Hifi Tuning Fuse fans around here and the rest of world and it does cost quite some for a piece, Mr Orang Asli.

Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

Fuse is no function 4 hifi.

fuse "made in heaven" I'm a audiophile person, i never heard the stuff (fuse)can squeeze sound quality out from the equipment, it's really "GILA"
I am agree with Orang Asli, fuse is no function 4 hifi

RM190 for a branded good quality fuse is really a steal Mr. orang asli and gangs. I have tried it and the sound become more open, more air and bigger stage. Dont be mistaken, I dont know Mr. will smith either. Just to share.

Thank you for your comment.

For personal opinion/feedback/review/belief, i believed there's another place here on this site under "DISCUSSION FORUM & KNOWLEDGE BASE" for you and Orang Asli to post your comments/feedback so we all can contribute. But for this particular thread and any threads within this link under "Audio & Video Equipment: For Sale (Malaysia & Singapore)", pls focus only on the interest of buying the item so the thread doesnt get "bumped" unnecessary and everyone gets a fair chance to post their items.

The improvement you get from this fuse is substantial, well worth the money spend. Orang Asli and Asrul, try it out if you have a chance, you will not regret it.

As much I hate to admit, fuses do make a difference. This coming from a person that is not so sensitive to tweaks.

Fuse does make a difference if you have a good system.

unlike cables, it will improve your system without changing the sound characteristic ..

Hate to admit it but it is true,,

Perhaps oen has to reach cetain level before he could appreciate what improvement certain tweak could achieve

As the name "sila" suggests, just ignore him and leave him alone:)

Split the topic & moved it to its proper place.

Agreed with bro hangleng, good quality fuse will improve your system. IMHO your system have to reach certain level then you can hear the improvement.
BTW I am using SINE Cryo fuse, cheaper than RM190.

There are "these" kind of people everywhere. Before this on the power subject, there are those who say power cord no difference one.. just transport power and now currently there are those saying no difference in HDMI/USB as digital are only 1 & 0. Opposing view is good but sometime bring it to harsh word are not nice. There are those who still believe that the net is freedom and no one know who you are....... so they "bark" like certain "creature"

As for SINE fuse, curious if you have seen underneath the Sticker? Or look at the Metal Gold Cap.... think you see a very familiar logo of another brand there......

For Furutech 13A UK Fuse... dont think you will find the Furutech name on it unlike its Blue colour Ceramic one where its on its Body.

And there is some of the many mystery of the Fuse world......

I would like to stick my head our for you guys to chop

In my case, my Hifi tuning fuse doesnt make a music reporduction differences in my Exposure 2010s2. The ori fuse go toe to toe with the tuning fuse. But I can hear differences when I reverse the direction of the hifi tuning fuse. that was 7 to 9 months ago.. since then, the system has gone through many other tweaks.. I believe there could have been an audible differences now, but too lazy to check it out

I am not here to insinuate fuse doesnt make a difference. I ran fuse from the main distributor box rather than miniature circuit breaker. That fuse is a silver element wired, reputable industrial grade fuse, not hifi. That make a different compare to the ordinary main fuse.

It take a reviewing system to hear the differences.. u may change ur opinion when u have an open mind, and not give up on looking for answers through physical experience. Stay in this hobby longer.. u will find it.. the ocean only give away its secret to those who truly explore it..(now, this is being too sentimental)

Everyone has their own opinion on what can influence the sound from their hifi set up. And I respect people who take the effort to explain their belief, eventhough there is no technical nor scientific evidence. But when one start to use inappropriate language, it saddens me as its not only put a bad image on our beloved hobby but also on our website.

Thank you Bro JSoo1 for the info. To me, as long as it is sound good & the price is reasonable, other things doesn't matter. I believe Cryo Treatment do improved the performance.

Some people look at the price first and start comparing.... Some expect a RM100 fuse to be 20 times better than a RM5 fuse. What more than a RM190 (pun intended). If put this on a power cord scenerio a Standard new IEC cost RM15. A new Shunyata Cost RM1500. So improvement expectation would be 100 times... Nice to have calculator around....

Think nowadays Cyro treatment are being done to a lot of things related to Audio. There is still other element involved. To me Cyro a standard item would bring up its market value, but a purpose-made audio item would be better as its have its intention specific and if further have cyro would be up to the designer if its warranted.

I personally feel that most normal mains fuses degrade sound quality. And i have installed a gold fuse (yes, around rm180) into my Stax headphone amp. It really helps to take away some of the digital edge, and makes the music ...how do i say this.... makes it 'glow' a bit. Nice and rich sound. Not thin.

One of the first things i did when i got my Magnaplanar speakers is to bypass the fuse on the tweeter panel. And the sound improved by leaps and bounds. Granted we are talking about mains fuses here, but really i was astonished at the improvement in imaging and transparency with the fuse bypassed. One of the upgrades i have done recently is to change all connectors to the US ones. And again with the same power cables, but different connectors, the sound is improved, i suspect due to removal of all those small fuses that exist in the UK plugs but not in the US plugs.

So if you are looking for clarity and transparency, perhaps a good place to investigate is the fuse. Do they make a difference? Yes, if my old insensitive ears can hear the difference, it would be easy for you to as well. My wife can hear the difference. She called out from the kitchen, which is near the hifi room (this was after i changed all connections to US type), and asked me what i did. I asked her why? and she said it sounded much better. So for me it's a keeper.

I agree that fuse does make a difference in sound esp if you have a good system. Once , i change to normal MK UK plug at my mains since its build look solid though . I change it for safety reason . I notice the music coming from headphone horibbly wrong .eveything is out of proportion. It wasn't 3D anymore, the soundstage could not be identified anymore, the background wasn't super silent & there is overly bright strain in the vocals during high notes & instrument sound could not be followed one by one . i had no choice but to go back to us plugs having no fuse. and spend extra cash to get safety features to replace the use of fuse

Change to these premium fuses and there is no doubt they make a difference, but at close to RM200, I do think they are overpriced. I bite my tongue to purchase it, but got me thinking that there is not much of technology behind it. Just one tiny wire even if it is 24 k gold or the best quality silver in the world. The only consolation is that most will last an equipment lifetime.

A Quick Question to those using HiFi Tuning Fuse.

Notice Supreme Fuse is Black Ceramic Body with Silver colour cap.

Then there is those with White Ceramic Body with Gold colour Cap and one more with White Ceramic Body with Silver Colour Cap.

Curious, do HiFi Tuning have different generation and or make beside Size difference between 20mm, 25mm and 32mm....

Its a piece of good conductor.made of piece silver wire. Offer best conductivity over tungsten filament.

If your system costing >10K, with it u hear more better as compare to 1k system.

I've replaced my Maggies's standard fuses these silver ones (and some other equipments) while it may not be night and day, IMHO, the differences r worthwhile d small effort. As 1541 sez, should be looked at relative to d price equipment. Ferinstance, I still wouldn't spend on a cable worth more than d equipment.

The technology expectation is simple.. it blow at the designated surge... The high premium on price due to material used and the process of making it and confirming it will indeed do its work when needed. Also, cannot rely on economy of scale as there isnt enough audiophile to buy the whole lot.... So, ended up expensive...

hifi tuning fuse cost more bcos it is hand made in batch. When they are making 1A,their whole production line will be only making 1A fuse so n so, those skilled old uncle auntie can not be forced to produce large in quantity.They are insisting on quality matters above all consideration,so end user pay the price.

Apart of that they are also using latest freezing technology on fuse end caps and wires and that made the cost a lot more to pay.

Since it is not a usual mass production based manufacturing,and the fuse are the main course.One would expect to pay more for a very specific product.
