[QUOTE="mjoekingz28, post: 8546490, member: 671279"] I am interested in fusing sound properly. There are a few concerns I have about fusing. First, even if they do pop- do they still allow excess power or dirty electricity to harm your equipment. Second, what materials are they made of? Plated steel, aluminum, ....silver? And how do these materials correspond with letting energy flow freely when supposed to YET interrupt it in time when things go awry. Thirdly, and what got me to post, is the sound quality they pass without making distortion. Just like a good set of RCAs can improve (or not degrade) the sound, can fuses do this as well? It also seems silly to have the best copper wire in a low gauge and then put a piece of tin for a fuse next to the battery. Bottom line is, safety aside, will I get better power transfer from a thick 200A fuse versus a 60A fuse that has a stringy piece of metal inside. And what will the sound difference be in terms of volume, and possibly clarity if a subpar metal is used. And then, I just kind of wonder is the short run of a fuse so insignificant as to not be able to change the path of power flow.....and if it does, then I question the point of having quality contacts and connections.
