Russ Andrews super Fuse !!

a bargain compared to this from the above linked nordost site

https://www.futureshop.co.uk/quantum-science-audio-red-high-level-uk-13a-fuse

to me it looks like a normal 13A fuse with heatshrink sleeving over the ceramic bit....

and dont forget that the ring main has to be rewired with this at £92 a metre

and does anyone recognise the make of socket they have added an earth terminal to in this pic, cause it looks cheaply made to me but not cheap to buy

I see the Futureshop's founder name is Will Tsang. Is his wife called Matilda by any chance.

Seeing as a lot of homes are supplied by cabling and switchgear as old at the 1930’s, none of these ‘superior’ products do nothing!
 
It's all in the mind.
Even if some of the products do something, it's all irrelevant. The main thing affecting sound quality is the room in which the equipment is used.

I installed a RA filtered socket many years ago - just a swap from the existing ordinary socket. Customer supplied it, and was convinced it would make all the difference to their expensive valve amp setup with massive floor standing speakers and so on.
All of it was located in a 1970s 2 bed terrace, in the downstairs room, which had the usual furniture, carpet, windows, doors. No sound treatment or anything else.

If people want a high end audio experience, then the first thing to do is to have a dedicated listening room built.

I love the way the fuses are 'Directional'! :D

Subtext... And if you don't hear the difference you're not a true audiophile, and you're not going to admit that after spending £1200 on a fuse! :rolleyes:
 
I read the “blurb” (at https://www.russandrews.com/superfuses/ ) and my eyes “glazed over”.

The discussion is concerning a “fuse”, only found in UK plugs and not “provided” in most other countries.
However, there could be fuses, or other devices, in in the supply chain, including Circuit Breakers, RCBOs or RCDs, which I believe contain “Inductance”.
(What is to be done to make the electricity “pure” through these devices?)

Of course, all those rushing back-and-forth electrons from the Mains must enter the “Power Supply” of the amplifier (or other device) and somehow cajole other electrons to produce “pure” (linear) DC to drive the various components within the “amplifier” or whatever.

(Give me a break !)


On a more serious note, the conduction of any metal can be compared to the ”International Annealed Copper Standard”. (IACS)
(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Annealed_Copper_Standard )

On this “scale”, the only metal that rates higher than annealed Copper (100) is Silver (105)
(https://www.bluesea.com/resources/108/Electrical_Conductivity_of_Materials , and other sites, rates the conductivity of various metals, in comparison with the IACS. )

It is “interesting” that Gold has only 70% of the conductivity of annealed Copper - and Tin only 15%.
Hence, using “Tin Plated” wires for “High Frequency” conductors (such as in CATx Cables) is not a good idea, since electrical transmission at “High Frequency” tends to be on the “skin” of the conductor,

Also, “Gold Plating” will not improve conductivity, although it may reduce problems due to tarnishing, over time.
