No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?


I can't believe my eyes.

The pink fuse is not a joke either. Although it sounds like one after Quantum, Black, Blue, Orange, Purple, Master... did I miss something?

@secretguy ,

So because it didn't improve your system, it can't possibly work for anyone else?

Huh.

Honestly, an audiophile fuse in my preamp wa

 

I'm glad you think it worked.

I recently purchased a pair of MC451's and am very happy with them.  Being somewhat new to the HiFi arena, I am now starting to hear and learn about 'tweaks'.  Of course I want to believe that all of these little things help because after all, we are all chasing better sound!  My question is, (and I have not formed an opinion if fuses help or not) why wouldn't Mcintosh who is playing in a super competitive market, install their own 'special' fuse if they thought it would improve the sound?  Why would they knowingly send out an inferior product if they know that the fuse is a weak link in the chain?  Mac definitely has the wherewithal to test their products and could make a small change like a fuse!  

Since Verafi‘s Swiss Fuse Box audiophile fuses have become an anachronism. The demonstrable benefits of ‘no fuse’ have simply put paid to the concept to the point where one has to wonder when serious audio manufacturers will move to circuit breakers rather than fuses. And as a nice side effect the ridiculous price gouging by fuse manufacturers will fade into memories of the past

 @hannibal71 ,  I do not know Mac gear at all, but does Mac ship it out with the absolute best of the best electronic components in it? For example the best of the best resistors and capacitors? Or would a Mac owner/operator have to have that done on his or her own or order it from Mac that way? Fuses may be on the same principle.
