[…] To recap from my original review: the Swiss Digital Fuse Box was pre-programmed to match the AC requirements and fuse specifications of the EVO 300, and was inserted inline with the EVO 300's AC power cord. The AC line fuse was then replaced with a solid metal rod of the same dimensions that Vera-Fi calls the "Sluggo." Upon powering on the amplifier, the microprocessor contained within the SDFB took over and provided the protection that would otherwise have been left to the lowly fuse, which typically costs a couple of bucks or so. And in comparison to the $4695 MSRP of the EVO 300 the SDFB was connected to, that $2 fuse is most definitely the weakest link. And of course, it's important to also take into consideration that the diameter of the protective filament of the fuse—which is fairly microscopic—seriously chokes the flow of AC current from the mains to the EVO 300 amplifier, theoretically limiting its ability to perform at its peak. The Sluggo that replaced the fuse is designed to correct for that shortcoming, and provides a conduit for unhindered AC current to flow to the EVO 300's power supply. That greatly enhanced the ability of the EVO300 to perform at a much higher level of proficiency. The word I actually chose to ultimately describe the level of performance provided by the EVO 300 with the Swiss Digital Fuse Box in place was unrestrained; if you haven't read my original review, you can check it out HERE.
