Piggy Extreme

The Piggy Extreme with a SDFB and Graphene Sluggo made my Musical Fidelity Nu Vista 600 amplifier sound like never before. Bass a bit deeper and more controlled, soundstage deeper, a little bit better stereo image and placing of instruments, more natural sound overall. In short, a noticeable extra improvement of SQ and well worth it. Have a SDFB for my Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE dac as well, and also that again improved the SQ.

Excellent value for money

At first, I was a bit disappointed. The Extreme Piggy Tail was obviously better than the adapter I initially used, but I could tell it needed some burn-in. And did it ever. I put it on my Hagerman Frycorder, checking occasionally. But it was not til it passed around 300 hours that I felt it had reached its full potential. It may not equal my stupidly expense "cork-sniffer deluxe" power cord, but the Extreme Piggy is extremely good for its price.

Built to Perform

Run this from my Power Conditioner to wall receptacle, Straight Shot to my AV Cabinet, and no long cable to deal with.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the Swiss Digital Fuse Box (SDFB)?

The SDFB is a device designed to improve the performance of your audio equipment by eliminating the weakest link in every system, which is the Fuse. The Fuse degrades with time and actually imparts an Impedance in and of itself. The SDFB is MicroProcessor Controlled and uses a State-of-the-Art Hall Effect Sensor to PROTECT your equipment.

How does the SDFB enhance audio performance?

By replacing conventional fuses with a metal rod called Sluggo, the SDFB reduces resistance and allows for better current flow, leading to improved midrange and treble clarity, increased power handling, and a more defined soundstage. We can promise a more refined bottom end as well. 

Is the SDFB compatible with all audio equipment?

The SDFB is designed to be compatible with a wide range of audio equipment. However, it's essential to verify compatibility with your specific devices before installation. Please contact us here. Fuse Box works with gear rated at 500mA to 12 amps, with either Fast or Slow Blow varieties.

How does the SDFB provide protection without a traditional fuse?

The SDFB utilizes a microprocessor coupled to our precision Hall Effect Sensor / and Relay to monitor power flow, automatically opening the circuit in case of anomalies, thus providing protection without the need for a traditional fuse.

Can the SDFB be used in European audio systems?

Yes, SDFB is available in three voltage configurations:

  • 110v, 60Hz
  • 220/240v, 50Hz
  • 220/240v, 60Hz (rare but used in a few parts of the world)

For users in the EU or parts of Asia, we recommend the following setup to ensure optimal performance without the need for adapters:

  1. Input Connection: Use your existing power cord to connect the wall outlet (whether Schuko or 3-blade US plug, as used in some regions) to the input side of the SDFB.
  2. Output Connection: Consider using one of our NEMA 15-type Piggy Tail power cables to connect the output of the SDFB to the IEC input of your audio equipment.

This configuration has been successfully implemented by over 200 SDFB users in the EU, delivering safe and exceptional results.

By following this setup, you can seamlessly integrate the SDFB into your system, enhancing performance while maintaining safety and compatibility.

What is the role of the Piggy Tail power cable in the SDFB setup?

The Piggy Tail is a short power cable designed to connect the SDFB's output to your audio equipment's power input, ensuring a secure and efficient connection.

Does the SDFB require any special installation procedures?

Installation of the SDFB involves replacing the existing fuse with the provided solid copper rod and connecting the device using the appropriate power cables. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines or consult a professional.
