Quantum Science Audio Red-Black High-End UK 13A Fuse (futureshop.co.uk)

£2400, for a fuse. And that's the cheap version

FFS.

I can sell you a fuse to protect your fuse for a mere £500. It's a bargain and will help you sleep easy knowing that you won't (literally) blow £2400 🙂

2400? [url= https://www.futureshop.co.uk/quantum-science-audio-gold-extreme-level-uk-mains-fuse ]Hold my beer![/url]

Edit - and can we change the thread title to "This fuse? Why yes, yes it is." in memory of CFH.

The 3A and 5A fuses are the same price as 13A.... shouldnt they be 3/13ths and 5/13ths of the price of the 13A unit??

If I'm honest, I kind of admire the absolute brass balls of it.

as noted above, Gold is £8000

For that - i could probably buy some of the bands i listen to and just get them to play for me when i wanted.

You guys are obviously not serious audiophiles. The right fuse will have a big impact on bass quantum. You should borrow one and try it out - it transforms the audio experience entirely.

2400? Hold my beer!

Please note: fuses are directional, so please ensure you install your fuse accordingly. If you are not sure on the correct direction, simply try it both ways- you will be able to hear the difference.

and, frankly, irrelevant well into the future for all but those easily separated from their money.

Make sure to fit it with the arrow pointing the right way!

Yes, but it eliminates bottle neck distortion so that's all right then.

How's that work on ac? Maybe I need two and some diode? I wonder if they sell diodes valves...

The Gold fuse is the pinnacle of our current offering from QSA. At the very top of the range, we believe that it can deliver upgrades to your sonic experience that can match far more expensive cables and equipment.

Well now I need one!

I like the use of the word "believe".

Thing is its true though, this snake oil will be just as effective as more expensive snake oil.

I think they've missed a trick - it *should* be a custom sized fuse, which they could charge a bit more for but would only fit into an equally expensive 3-pin plug...

A bit like a 27.5" wheel in a special frame.

oh. Errr......

I've replaced my fuses with bits of wire coathanger. Less bottlenecking.

Would sir like a £5400 plug to go with his £8000 fuse?

Pft, those plugs are really only 9k a pair.

I bet it would have if you'd said it produced a more consistent and at ease whistle tone even at high volumes.

I feel like a right mug for spending £9 on a pack of eighty assorted fuses. WTF was I thinking such an idiot 😭

Only those who spend it like you just don't care can discern dynamics and details of sounds in recordings that no other dudes can discern... or is it that you can only reach the state of nirvana by using a massive collection of funny little doohickeys that do little or nothing...

I can't decide if this rubbish is a flat-earth conspiracy theory or the weirdest of religions.

I hate to be pedantic, and I may have misremembered this from electronics classes a long time ago, but isn't gold a really shockingly bad conductor? Silver is great, so could almost go with their reasoning there, but gold? Nah....

They are definitely a legit company. I bought a very fine set of new clothes from them and they certainly turn heads where ever I wear them.

"proprietary quantum technique" = covering a cheap fuse/plug with different branding?

I thought gold was only used to plate speaker terminals etc. as it doesn't oxidise over time and look shabby/cause bad connections.

But what do I know.

You don't know how to extract a million pounds from an audiophile, I'm confident in guessing.

Their website has me convinced!

Their factory is on 'King Fuk street'

It really actually says that. I thought you were making it up for parody effect.  I just don't know where you can go after that apart from contains real and not synthetic snake oil.  There can't actually be anyone that believes that,  can there?
