RE: Which is better for audio) Fuses or Circuit Breakers?

The fuses in the breaker are audiophile fuses. You can order them silver plated over copper or gold plated over copper. I have tried both and feel that the silver plated copper sounds somewhat better. The gold over copper exhibited a to forward mid-range. The circuit breaker fuses are rated at 16-50 amps. The breaker itself is also upgraded with gold plated contacts and includes high quality internal components. Best of all, these are certified by IEC 60947-3 und VDE 0660-107; http://engineers.ihs.com/document/abstract/VVKDIBAAAAAAAAAA

Both of which are certified in Europe and Germany, where I live. The spec sheet IEC 60947-3 has a block for DoD, not sure if that means such a circuit breaker could be used in states or if that means it is certified by DoD for overseas use on military installations or remote sites.

I still have not found an audiophile circuit breaker in the states like this one in Germany.
