Bernd Ahne of HiFi-Tuning has spent a lot of time thinking about the influence of fuse holders in the fuse box on optimum sound. After all, the entire power supply of the hi-fi system has to pass through this bottleneck. There is hardly any other place where the sound of the system can be improved so easily. The production of a completely unique fuse holder with all its certifications is an illusion for a small company. So Ahne sought out a large Asian supplier willing to meet the extraordinary demands of hi-fi tuning, as long as he paid in advance.
The result of this collaboration is a black fuseholder with an unusual interior. It starts with the internal screws, which are made of non-magnetic stainless steel, and continues with the pure copper conductors, which are silver-plated, copper-plated and gold-plated. This seemingly absurd effort is made to achieve a permanently stable conductivity that far exceeds that of brass.
In Berlin, the fuse holder is cryogenised in a nitrogen bath. Strictly speaking, there are a few more steps involved, but they remain Bernd Ahne's trade secrets to prevent imitation. The fuse holder accepts Supreme³ fuses in 10.3 x 38 mm format up to 32 A. It is recommended that finger grease is removed from the fuse caps with a dry cloth before insertion.
In households, 16A fuses are usually used.
- Caution: Installing the fuse holder is a job for an electrician! Do not play around in the fuse box, play music instead.
