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!

Astonishingly good

I received a generous offer from mark which included extra graphene sluggos, what a great human , I’ve had them in for almost two weeks now , thin sounding, but spacious and full of clarity, not edgy sounding but lacking body, but, there was an underlying bass line that needed further investigation, as I said after the 2 week period, these things filled out and is now producing glorious sound, hype is one thing, but experience is another and boy do these things deliver, it enhances the sound to a degree that no fuse could, in conjunction with the Swiss digital fuse box , the sound is expansive , expressive with clarity, power , prat and a solid bass I didn’t know my amplifier could produce, I knew it was there , but it was only hinted at , yes they do work, my system sounds effortless and at high volume, it just continues to soar , no drawbacks, unless your speakers can’t take it . I am truly amazed by the sdfb it does what it says on the tin , I have 2 and a third on the way, outstanding product, I recommend it without hesitation. Long live Vera-fi !

Sluggos and the SDFB

Really liking the Graphene Sluggos and the improved imaging and sound stage they present in my system.

Graphene is the way ahead

Having had very positive results with the Swiss Digital Fuse Box in combination with the standard copper Sluggo I had to hear what all the fuss was about with the Graphene version. It only took a few seconds after swapping the Sluggos to discover why users of the graphene version were so enthusiastic about it. If I had to explain its effect then I would say every piece of music sounds more like a performance. Music is just that bit more believable. My theory is that the noise floor is lowered considerably which allows me to hear so much more of the musical performance. The graphene sluggo is not just a big step up from the copper one, it’s made a huge improvement to my music system. With the 30 day return option it is a complete no brainer if you want to try the SDFB for yourself. Did I mention “hi-fi bargain” ?!

Replced Rhodium Sluggo, which did not "play nicely" with the addition of recent purchase of Mainstream( was fine with SnubWay). Way too sterile.
The Graphine Sluggo returns the warmth back to my system and provides additional depth and width of soundstage with more realism.
Might want to include a note to handle with gloves or plastic tweezers.
I used my Zircon encrusted tweezers

A Worthy Upgrade!

Music grabs and holds the listener's attention much more aggressively. It's unmistakably more lively, energetic, and exciting with a deeper soundstage and a better focused image. Dynamic peaks are more crisp and punchier. Bass has a more visceral kick. Percussion is more explosive. Upgrading the copper Sluggo to graphene extends these qualities further - especially in the high frequencies.

Surprisingly, old jazz recordings from the 1930's and 1940's sound like they were recorded more recently with more modern equipment.

Enhanced graphene Sluggo

Absolutely stunning in my system! All frequencies have been enhanced! The harmonics are amazing. CD's sound much more life-like! It is well worth the price! And unlike a regular fuse it won't wear out!

Replaced the weak link in my system!

Vera-Fi was outstanding to work with, and I have 2 SDFB replacing the fuses in my Decware amps. I'm extremely happy with the Super Sluggos and the improvements in the add'l clarity & punch I heard in bass and better articulation the mids & highs. I'll be back!

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.
