Acme Audio Labs silver cryo fuse




A small number of my audiophile acquaintances has tried the Acme Audio Labs silver cryo fuse, in a variety of gear.

I have one in the large, slow-blow, 3A value, for use in an Adcom GFA-6002. If you look really carefully, each end cap has different writing/logos. At least in the GFA-6002, fuses are directional. That is, the fuses will make the amp sound different, depending on which way the fuse is oriented.

No one close to me is an audiophile. Yet, all these non-audiophiles hear the difference(s) in fuse direction. In that Adcom GFA-6002, everyone prefers the AAL silver cryo, with the fuse value pointing or being closer to the rear panel.

Yet, I have an audiophile friend, whose ears I trust. Because the AAL fuses are affordable, he's been able to order specific values, for each of his components. In most of his components, he and other listeners do hear a difference, in fuse directionality. Yet, in some of his components, he doesn't detect any sonic differences, when swapping fuse direction. Just goes to show, that we have to experiment.
