Product Description

Warning!! This product is designed to be used with and requires a Swiss Digital Fuse Box for proper safety. Do not remove or replace a fuse with a Sluggo without having a Swiss Digital Fuse Box installed.

High end audio fuse manufactures use a variety of materials in the makeup of their fuses to add different elements to the sound. Similarly fine tuning the synergy of your system can be found with different Sluggo materials, with the benefit of much greater current capability and lower resistance than any audiophile fuse!

High Purity Brass - Some power cable manufacturers utilize high purity brass terminations or gold immersed brass, and matching like metals can create an incredible pairing.

High Purity Copper - Nothing but pure high purity copper in the conductor path for a natural sound

Super Sluggo (Standard) - High purity copper is immersed in high purity gold to add a bit more warmth than copper alone

Super-Duper Sluggo - Sluggo has been plated with Rhodium, our hardest plating that adds more of a sonically neutral aspect, leaning towards colder tonality.

Graphene Sluggo - Graphene is a super conductor with up to 70% greater conductivity than copper, offering the closest thing to no fuse at all! Ask us about a 20% discount to upgrade to Graphene for current Swiss Digital Fuse Box owners!

Graphene Sluggo did make a very nice difference. Recommended.

The Graphene Sluggo brought a more natural sound all around. Thanks Mark

The Closest Thing to Without Fuse

I’m very impressed with the SDFB. I’ve used many high-end fuses before, but most tend to alter the tonality, introduce noticeable midrange distortion, and result in bloated, loose bass. In contrast, the SDFB preserves the original tonality while significantly improving bass performance—offering greater detail, tighter control, and a clear reduction in distortion across the entire spectrum. The soundstage also expands substantially.

I briefly compared it directly with a fuse-less setup and can confirm that while there’s a slight reduction in body and bloom, the SDFB is the closest I’ve heard to running without a fuse.

Big improvement along SDFB

Killer combination with SDFB

Fundamental and Surprising Improvement!

As a late-comer to the fuse-upgrade culture, I'm glad that I finally stepped into the realm of SDFBs. I currently use a pair of Dutch and Dutch 8Cs sourced by Grimm Audio Mu2 as reference. I replaced all three fuses with SDFB and Graphene Sluggos. On my 8Cs, not only it opened up the soundstage, it did so without any sacrifice, the soundstage is more defined and the presentation is embodied with better clarity and even better focused - large orchestral passages become more layered, the tonality more visceral and congested sections more relaxed without sounding "loose". The additional graphene added to my Grimm Mu2 tightened the overall focus even more and further enhanced the overall realism of my system. This upgrade to me is fundamental and astounding. It ranked among the best upgrades that I'd ever experienced!

SDFBs spreading like a virus in my system!

The single most effective "tweak"

Amazing

Amazing, pretty much sums it up. Everything I’ve read about the SDFB, I found to me true in my 300 b amp.

9 SDFB's!

This is my 9th SDFB! I obviously like them!

Piggy Tail Power Cables

In my case, it's a necessary accessory to connect the SDFB to my CD player.
The result has been very good.
Rafael (BCN-Spain)

Creative thinking lead to the creation of this product which is an excellent addition.

Great value at such a low price. Dynamic, quiet with great bass. Works well with the SDFB.

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:

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.
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.
