Fuses that matter.

I received a Synergistic Research SR20 fuse last week. I never expected it, but the darn thing does smoke the HiFi-Tuning Supreme fuse in my system.

When I finally added the WA-Quantum fuse chip, it added the same effects as it did on my HiFi-Tuning Supreme.

I know that people dispute all of this about fuses and the fuse chips, but are they expensive tweaks? I have a Furutech, a HiFi-Tuning and a Synergistic Research fuse at about $210.00 and three WA-Quantum fuse chips for $27.00.

This much of an investment in tweaks is throw away money compared to my system and all of the revisions and upgrades that I've been through and probably a large percentage of systems on Audiogon.

A $70.00 fuse and $9.00 chip is a tiny expense in the grand scheme of things. If it works like it did in my system, great! If it doesn't, it's $80.00. I wish that was all the extra money I've spent through the years.

I suppose it depends on how valuable the difference is, is there a cheaper way to accomplish the same results, and how much throw away money one has.

Anyone tried the Synergistic fuse on Magnepans (3.7)?

Krell_man, I didn't find the large fuse WA-Quantum chip sounded any different than the small Chip.

Mapman, obviously Krell is not talking about everyone, but if you are attending Audiogon, you can afford the fuses and chips.

Maybe, but I really prefer fish and chips! :)
