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!

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.

Pending

I have 2 of the pigtails. Both of them have female ends that are not usable with any of the standard plug setups here in the USA. I have spoken to Mark about this and am still waiting for a solution

Excellent upgrade

I’ve tried almost all the expensive fuses on the market and they all improved the component in some ways. However, I always worried that the sound improvement would diminish over time with these expensive fuses.
For reference, these are being used in a very high end and highly resolving system. This is the 7th Swiss Digital Fuse Box that I have purchased and will likely buy more. Compared to the other high end fuses that I’ve owned, I find the improvements in all area of performance, rather than just some areas. Noticeable uptick in resolution, soundstage, without any coloration. Also, they do not lean out tonality or make the bass tubbier. Some of the other fuses made the bass a little out of proportion with the other frequencies. I find the SDFB to be the most balanced of any fuse that I’ve tried and I don’t need to be concerned with the improvement in sound quality diminishing with time. Easy recommendation!

Graphene Sluggo Scores!

I have Graphene Sluggos in my Decware amplifier and preamplifier along with my modified Cambridge Audio CXV2 DAC/streamer. I just added a fourth in my Space Tech Labs STR-1002-Super (tube rectifier). Wow, just as with previous equipment this little metal rod added another level of increased dimensionality and realism to my listening experience. Highly recommended.

Really good uplift in soundstage,tonality,and dynamics

Really good uplift in soundstage, tonality and dynamics! No doubt about it or placebo!
The sound feels more pure!
At around 300 hrs like clarified by mark , the effect becomes very obvious!
I will probably go one for amp and one for streamer .
Bravo!

Thank You Mark and VeraFi-Team!

I have a complete Spectral-system (SDR-4000, DMC-30SV, DMA-200-S2), in combination with a heavily modified Klyne phono stage. Over the past 10 years, I have invested a lot of money in improving the system, particularly in the cabling (MIT Oracle) and power supply. But no tuning measure - really none - brought about such an improvement in sound quality as the use of -currently - two SDFBs in combination with the Graphene sluggos.
The Graphene-Suggos are the only right choice - even with Spectral: The copper Sluggos sound too warm, upfront and lack resolution (at least for my taste); the Super Sluggo doesn't come close to the Graphe Sluggo in terms of naturalness.
My system has never sounded as good as it does now. To improve it further, I would have to spend at least 10 times the price of the SDFBs. Thank you, Mark, you are so great!

Positive Improvement

I have replaced all the fuses in my system and the difference is a noticeable improvement in clarity, tonality and I no longer have d to worry about blown fuses. Personally I prefer the solid copper fuses in my system. The nice thing is that there are different sluggos that offer different “flavors” to compliment different audio systems each offers a different and unique enhancement to the sound. I have found this approach to work better for me than purchasing high end fuses that can blow.

Graphene sluggo and the burn in pain :)

First of all, thank you Mark for helping me to resolve a dispute with the Romanian distributor of Vera-fi products and my advise, buy directly from Vera-fi.
In the past, I was using Synergistc Research fuses, Orange included. Then replaced them with Verictum X fuse (fullbodied, slightly darker with excellent timbre). QSA Violet was the next one, better resolving, transparent with great clarity. And now, graphene sluggo for SDFB. I need to stress, graphene sluggo require extensive burn-in, Mark calls the process „cure” as more adequate and it takes about 300-400 hours which I confirm. I was burning them in continuosly and checking every 24 hours. Typical rollercoaster. After 250 hours I was not happy with the outcome, slightly bright and light sound, lacked body, weak treble I even considered going back to fuse in one of the components. I continued burn in, used PAD CD (System Enhancer Burn-In & Demag CD-R) to accelerate the process. After 310 hours (2 nights on PAD CD :) included ) bingo, I broke them: fleshed out, organic, holographic sound with excellent resolution, extended treble, open and airy soundstage. The brightness had gone. Slight fluctuations occured beyond the 310 hours mark but I knew what to expect at the end of the journey and I was fully satisfied with it. I’m happy I tried the Vera-fi solution. Sluggo eliminates the bottleneck allowing my system to breath, delivering „unlimited” current, improving bass extension and slam, improving dynamics and sense of realism.

Swiss Digital FUSE BOX a Better Link in the Chain

Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"

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.
