Treated myself to the Rega 50th TT as i used to have a really old P3 and needed a good TT - lovely TT - the Walnut finish is actually really nice. Also my CD player died and i got an Apollo CD player and really loving that too :)

Always enjoy your talks. Merry Christmas. How can a fuse make a difference if one is using a noise filtering power board? Cables can make some difference due to impedance length shielding etc. that I have heard. Does the Atoll CD player play through when tracks are intended to be gapless or does it do the slight pause thing? Ive seen this is a problem with many new players.

I have not seen any scientific evidence that fuses matter, or any plausible explanation of why they should matter. A standard fuse adds a small amount of extra resistance, but it is not in the signal path. It is the equivalent of adding another foot to your power cable (from a resistance standpoint). Can anyone detect that? I've done measurements on a single amp swapping out a standard fuse and a copper slug, and found no differences with output voltage, and heard no differences. Something is wrong with the component if a fuse matters. I'm writing this off as a psychological artifact until someone presents scientific evidence. My advice is to focus on the big tweaks first ... speaker placement, room treatments and DSP, where the changes can be dramatic. A small PEQ filter will have much more effect than a cable or fuse change. Master REW.

As a retired electrical contractor I would say if you can , install a dedicated supply for your hifi from your distribution board . And use an armer cable for the fact that it will help with RF interference . If this is terminated into fuse out first before feeding your sockets which can be as many as you like on a radial circuit . Your electrician will Gide you on the finer points , but because you have the fuse outlet this would be the ideal place to install your expensive fuse . As a word of caution there are those who advocate a separate earthing system for hifi , via an earth spike . This can under certain circumstances create different electrical potential issues which is differently not desirable . Kind regards to all

@@iancasson62. Hi sir glad you took the plunge , as for the fuse upgrade I’m afraid my system just wouldn’t justify the expense , even if my wonderful wife said ok 😂 . But regarding the dedicated supply for me it was relatively easy , because of my background . So of course someone having to employ a professional , would obviously be subject to far greater cost than the fuse upgrade . But as in your case , put the two together , with I assume high quality equipment , then indeed the magic can do its thing . As to how it works as regards to the fuse is a total mystery to me , obviously it’s paramount intention as a fuse is under fault conditions it disconnects the power supply . So how you improve the sound, without compromising that basic functionality is definitely beyond my limited knowledge . Best wishes and kind regards to your good self , and a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Merry Christmas I think the fuse couple of aspects might make a difference material if it's solid silver yes that's going to be better less resistance, how it's wired reducing inductance would make a difference and it's capacitance, and how it controls radio waves. you should dismantle one of those purple and see what it looks like in a video
@Sparta155

The point of a fuse is to blow with excess current. If you lower the impedance, permit more current and hence the fuse becomes less effective. Then you have to consider how important actual safety is.

It's not that fuses, cables or interconnect dont make sonic differences.... it's just sometimes the material costs verse the final market price .... sometimes raises people's eyebrows and concerns!
