Audiophile-Grade Fuses from Isoclean
February 4, 2005
Audiophiles expend much effort and money tweaking the performance of
their hi-fi systems. Often this involves swapping the tubes and power cords that come
standard with components for after-market equivalents that promise better sound. Add fuses
to this list. Isoclean, a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of a large line of power and
isolation products, has two sizes of slow-blow fuses that are meant for use in audio
electronics and promise better performance. The end of each fuse is plated with 24K gold,
and the metallic holder has been "specially treated." Each fuse has also been
"accurately measured and checked in order to bring your equipment to the highest
standard."
Isoclean fuses come in two sizes and many values. In the 5 x 20mm size there are
1A,1.6A, 2A, 2.5A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6.3A, 8A and 10A values, while the larger 6 x 31.8mm size
comes in 1A,1.6A, 2A, 2.5A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A, 10A,12A and 15A values. Each
fuse costs $25. All Isoclean products are distributed in the US by Aaudio Imports.
