To fully understand the potential benefits of Swiss Digital Fuse Box, we must first examine the pitfalls of the fuse.
A fuse is a simple, sacrificial device used to protect your component in case of electrical failure. When current is being drawn through the fuse, it begins to heat up, and in cases of excess current or short, it will melt and sever the connection to power. While this works to protect your devices, a common fuse leaves much to be desired in means of performance when it comes to our audio components.
Regardless of the size of the power cable feeding even your largest amplifiers, the live line feeding the power supply eventually becomes constricted to the single small filament housed in the fuse. Current draw through the filament causes heat, which in turn raises the resistance and limits the capability of the power supply as it digs deep to replenish its reserves in times of high demand and musical transients.
Our elegant solution is the Swiss Digital Fuse Box. After carefully reading the instructions, the restrictive fuse is replaced with a Sluggo, a very low resistance and high current capable metal rod made from high purity materials. Run a power cable from the wall to the Swiss Digital Fuse Box IEC C13 inlet, and then plug your component into the Fuse Box’s NEMA 15 receptacle and you are ready to experience what the Fuse Box has to offer.
Each Fuse Box is programmed at the time of ordering to match the manufacturer’s fuse specification for your device. An internal microcontroller magnetically monitors the current draw and opens the circuit via a low resistance relay if it exceeds the pre-programmed setting. Resetting the Swiss Digital Fuse Box if tripped is done simply by disconnecting it from the wall for a minimum of 15 seconds. Fuse Box will not lose its programming ever, and will continue to protect your device faithfully and without fault.
Please Note: We can program Swiss Digital Fuse Box for the voltage and frequency of your country, but all Fuse Boxes have a US style plug output and will require the appropriate power cable. Please see our Piggy Tail power cables if you need a short length cable for this purpose.
Sluggo
Sluggo is precision manufactured in the size of your typical 5x20mm or 6x32mm fuse, made out of your choice of high purity materials. All the sonic benefits of an audiophile fuse without the worry of an expensive failure. One Sluggo in either high purity brass, copper, or gold immersion (Super Sluggo) included with the purchase of the Swiss Digital Fuse Box. Additional Sluggo are available here.
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. This is our base model Sluggo.
High Purity Copper - Nothing but pure high purity copper in the conductor path providing all the benefits of Sluggo without imparting anything to the sound.
Super Sluggo - All of the benefits of high purity copper immersed in gold for greater warmth and immediacy. This is our standard and recommended Sluggo for starting out with Swiss Digital Fuse Box.
Super-Duper Sluggo - A tellurium copper Sluggo has been plated with Rhodium, our hardest plating that adds more of a sonically neutral aspect, leaning towards colder tonality to help fine tune your system
Graphene Sluggo - Graphene is a super conductor with up to 70% greater conductivity than copper, offering the closest thing to no fuse at all! Our TOL and highest recommended Sluggo. Ask us about a 20% discount to upgrade to Graphene for current Swiss Digital Fuse Box owners!
Piggy Tails
Swiss Digital Fuse Box has an IEC C13 inlet, and a NEMA 15 outlet on the other side. This allows you to use your performance power cable of choice to feed the Fuse Box, and still allows you to enjoy the benefits if you have an integral power cable on your audio component.
Our Piggy Tails are high performance, short interconnecting power cables for use with Swiss Digital Fuse Box or other high current power delivery products only requiring a short distance.
Piggy Tail - Our base model is a 1ft power cable constructed from 9 separate cores of 16-gauge 8N oxygen-free copper, each plated with 70 microns of extruded pure silver. Designed for ultra-low resistance and uncompromised signal integrity, this cable ensures your system benefits from stable, noise-free power without unnecessary bulk.
Super Piggy Tail - Stepping up from the base model, the Super Piggy Tail refines and expands upon its predecessor with even greater efficiency. Built with 3 cores conductor shaft with built-in oversized high-purity silver-plated oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) square core copper + multi-strand pure copper, it delivers lower resistance, improved current flow, and even better shielding against electrical interference. Ideal for systems demanding more refined dynamics and an even lower noise floor.
Extreme Piggy Tail - For those who demand the absolute best, the Extreme Piggy Tail takes performance to another level. Available in 1ft and 2ft lengths, it doubles the number of silver-plated oxygen-free copper cores for even lower resistance and superior current capability. The result? Tighter bass, improved transient response, and effortless power delivery to high-current components.

Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
I’m hesitant to assign a star ranking since my experience could be anything from 3 to 5 as you will see below. In all the many years that I've been seeking the absolute sound, I've always been hard-put to hear what reviewers called jaw-dropping improvements whenever they added some new something to their systems. I have the same difficulty with wines and with coffees; I simply don't pick up on the subtle differences that apparently are obvious to other people. And so it has been with the SDFB and the three different Sluggos I have used with it. To be fair my Gato 150AE and Aerial 6Ts already sounded far better to me than any amp/speaker combo that I have had in the past, so that it would have been asking a lot to for me to expect any profound improvement by adding something else to the mix. I like to think that I heard something new when I plugged in the SDFB with the copper Sluggo I started with, yet my jaw remained where it has always been. Don’t get me wrong -- everything sounded really good, just not bowl-me-over good. The thing I did hear, however, was a new glint, twang, sharpness (I’m not really sure how to describe it), something whenever a singer or a brass instrument hit high notes. Nevertheless, I didn’t want to risk losing even a subtle improvement by returning it within the 30-day window that Verifi graciously allows its customers. After a couple of months’ listening, I went back to their website and discovered that, according to Verifi’s description of it, I probably should have ordered the Super Sluggo to get more warmth from the fuse box. Hoping it might solve the problem with the sharpness I heard in high notes, I ordered a Super Sluggo. Unfortunately I honestly heard no difference between the two Sluggos. I suppose I should have returned it for a refund at the time, but for 30 bucks I didn’t want to look like a complete cheapskate. Another few months passed before I decided to go for broke with a Graphene Sluggo. (The discount at the time and Verifi’s praiseworthy return policy decided it for me.) I am happy to report that the Graphene so far seems to have resolved the harshness I was hearing with the highs in my system. As I said before, I don’t have the discriminating hearing that other listeners seem to have when they describe seismic improvements with every new addition to their systems. Your experience could be much different from mine. In all I’m happy with the way my system sounds now and while I might be slow to appreciate improvements that the SDFB and Graphene Sluggo offer, I wouldn’t remove them from the whole on any count.
The first 30 hours I heard the potential but the tone seemed off. Now about 60 hours in I am totally blown away! The biggest improvement is the soundstage and imaging. The SDFB on my amp has freed the music from my speakers. It is just there, in front of you. The speakers disappear (hard to do with 5 foot tall, 2 feet wide Acoustats). The depth is incredible! The background is quiet and black, details just jump out of the mix. Amp seems more powerful, more dynamic.
I still think it would be even better without having to use another separate power cord, and I intend to try to use adapters with the SDFB to compare against the Piggy. But the Extreme Piggy is very good.
This is one of 5he best tweaks I have tried. Highly recommended!
This fuse box in one word is magic ! More air , micro dynamic , details... without negative aspects . Incredible .
Make my DAC more clear and more powerful with low costs, I like it.
Dieser Schweizer digitaler Sicherungskasten bedeutet ein update wie eine Verbesserung einer Komponente.Es ist unglaublich wie dieser Kasten wirkt.Es wird wohl nicht bei einem bleiben.Gratulation!
Purchased 3 extreme piggy power cables , incredible craftsmanship, also because they are 2 ft length they allow the power conditioner and Swiss Digital to sit on the floor properly.
I purchased the extremes as they match my extreme power cords, of which I am super Happy with and yes they DO MAKE A Difference ! You can't go wrong with this type of perfection for the price.
The Swiss Digital Fuse Box has really elevated the sound of my system. More open, more dynamic, more accurate tonal balance, wider and deeper sound stage and greater separation of instruments within.
Aided in introducing all these improvements are the Sluggos that take the place of the fuse in the system when the Swiss Digial Fuse Box is in use. Each is in its way like a tone control imparting a frequency signature. The Copper is big and bold sounding, strong bass and dynamics. The Super Duper is a bit more refined, a lighter and a bit more open sound. The Graphene for my system is like Goldilock's porridge, just right: tight, present bass, treble that sounds natural not etched, presenting dynamic contrasts from micro to macro dynamics that seem musical and connected to the textures of the music, revealing of details in a tapestry of sound where their "noticeableness" seems woven into the tapestry of sound, not sounding exaggerated or unduly quiet.
Yes, the Graphene is the most expensive option. For good reasons. I decided to use one with all four of the Swiss Digital Fuse Boxes I have in my system--adding each one in place of a Copper or Super Duper made an easily heard incremental improvement.
This is my third Graphene Sluggo for the three components in my audio system that take fuses. With each replacement of the regular fuse with the SDFB and Graphene Sluggo I realized improvement in fidelity.
Everything positive that everyone has said about this device is 100% accurate. I purchased two of these, one for my tubed preamp and another for my tubed DAC. What I heard after making the change was beyond my expectations, cleaner more nuanced sound, no tube noise from the preamp, the music just flows and I find myself listening longer and longer. Very pleased to the point of ordering two more for my mono amps. A simple device that delivers well above its price.
I got in late to the Swiss Digital fuse Box craze. I only tried the Graphene sluggo based on the general consensus by the users that this was the best Sluggo.
The Fuse box is great with the Graphene sluggo. Makes a very nice improvement. I just cannot compare it to the other Sluggos.
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.
