In Reply to: RE: Clone or OEM for Hifi tuning fuses... posted by hotbird on May 10, 2009 at 07:07:59
As compared to US$29 each, Create Audio fuse only costs about US$6.50 per piece. Incidentally the capacitor/diode symbol on a original hifi-tuning fuse happens to be Hifi Tuning company logo, with the company logo and name below, it looks like a trademark, you can check hifi-tuning.com
Without the original company name below the capacitor/diode symbol on the "clone" fuse does looks misleading and silly

Where can they be purchased? I didn't understand the "sms" comment or what the # 97864892 means.
SMS stands for Short Message Service, which is a text messaging protocol provided by GSM(Global System for Mobile communications) networks which is the default one offered by mobile phone operators in Singapore from where I am based. In US, your default network should be CDMA (Code division multiple access) based, thus you have not heard of SMS, as it's not an option with CDMA networks. With SMS, over here, people rather text a short message to the other party than to call them personally, as it's like an email, and the other party can read and reply at his leisure.
The number you wrote above is his mobile phone number, to call him from US, you will have to make an international call with country code 65 (for Singapore). I doubt this guy will ship overseas to you as he may just be a hobbyist that bought a stash from China to offer some for sale. But who knows ? You may have better luck contacting the company directly (already provided the URL)
Are all available in the US - AT&T and T-Mobile have GSM networks, and most carriers offer "world phones" that either will automatically work in other countries, or have SIM cards slots in them so they can.
SMS, or "texting " has been quite the rage here for a few years at least, it's how most of the younger generations' communicate, over using voice calls. It's all part of the "de-personalization" of relationships, and America in general.
Back on track, my friend's daughter can text at like 100 WPM, blindfolded, with her phone under a table, with no way she could see it. As cell phones are generally not allowed in schoolrooms, this is how the kids get away with it, just as I remember the guys stashing "Playboy" under our desks, back in the day.
There's been rumblings about standardizing the network protocol(s), but the the FTC would have a fit, anti-trust and all of that.
Just a few pieces for you.
I don't think the FTC would care.
It's more like the phone companies do not want to sell phones that are compatible with a competitors network.
Look at the hassle just transferring your phone number from one carrier to another can be.
