In Reply to: Positive-Feedback Review on IsoClean Audio Grade Fuses....... posted by Soundideas on November 25, 2005 at 22:54:44:
you could protect the metal caps with a graphic arts product called Maskoid, a peel off masking gel, then carefully paint the glass tube of the fuse body with C37, let dry for a while, peel off the protective mask, clean the ends, and return to service. Just looking at a fuse, it is practically designed like a little resonantor tube with a bright high pitched "clink" tone, and the wire inside will be singing along with the current draw. Anybody heard a light bulb witha dimmmer attached and dimmed down halfway ? Something like that.. a lacquer or composite coating might take some of that edge off...
