Anyone try these?

I want to try these Bussman fuses from MCRU

https://www.mcru.co.uk/product/silver-plated-bussmann-fuses-2/

Might be cheap enough per piece.

Also, these nano donuts that go on top of toroids from Mad Scientist Audio. http://madscientist-audio.com/blackdiscusnanodonut.html

   Paul having gold coating is not the answer alone. It is the fusible link size and material that makes the difference. Unfortunately the right ones cost $150. Synergystic Research Orange. I have the Mad Scientist Toroids.  Can send you a couple to try out if you like.

HAL:
Check the size, as they are normally for UK power plugs that have a line fuse in the plug. 

Probably not the standard 5x20mm or 1-1/4in x 1/4in fuse size.

Paul,
I’ve been thinking about trying fuses for a couple of years, but haven’t gotten around to it. Some years back, I mentioned fuses to a well-known manufacturer and also fuse holders as well. I told him I had never seen an upgraded fuse holder, and surprisingly, he told me he had never given it any thought. So it seems to me that we need not only a better fuse but a properly plated and treated fuse holder as well. Have you ever read anything about better quality fuse holders?

Hi Charles,

I've heard nothing but good things about the Synergistic Orange fuses, but not the most cost effective upgrade due to WAF. Wallet Acceptance Factor.  :lol:  For my other amp, I'd need 8 of them...

As for the Donuts, I am interested, but how tall or thick are they? Maybe the smallest one would fit here?
