Silent Wire Sound Fuse

Why might a fuse be better (or worse for that matter) than a circuit breaker?

Because it costs more and when it blows the fuse, you have to buy another one instead of resetting the breaker? I'd want to know if your home owner's insurance would cover a fire caused by a malfunction with the fuse/breaker instead of the correct breaker for the panel it is being used in.
 
I believe it has to do with all the mechanical parts and materials used, as opposed to a fuse which really is just "a wire". Just an avenue I wanted to explore given its relatively low cost (45 eur in this case). It seems like something that is done relatively often in Europe and HK from audio infra standpoint.

I tried AHP and it was a clear upgrade from the circuit breaker.

Sure you will not go wrong replacing the circuit breaker. Go for it.
I´m curious about these good looking "silent wire"...
 
I can´t until I have 10 posts. :popcorn:

But You can search on ebay "AHP fuses"
 
That´s it!
Soon I put here a picture of my electric board!
By the way, a dedicated line from the electric board helps a lot!
 
As I have a dedicated line on the electric panel, I replaced the circuit breaker that powers that line through a fuse system
As simple as that ;)

I looked it up. Fuses and breakers have about the same amount of distortion. But breakers are more variable depending on it's life history.

Remember the signal doesn't go thru the breaker's mechanical parts.

But the distortion in either a fuse or a breaker is very low, it's not worth worrying about.

And it only matters in amplifier audio outputs.

The old question about audio is: what makes really difference?
In my opinion: everything! ;)

Ah, to infinity and beyond.
Only everything that matters, matters! Not anything that anyone writes.

There are easily 10,000 identifiable pieces and parts from microphone diaphragm to loudspeaker cone. Not counting environmental items. Think about just how big 10,00 Factorial is.

I say: go for it. You will not regret. :hey:
