Something For The Fuse Guys ...

There are fuses, and then, there are fuses. 

I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago. 

Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue. 

The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs. 

The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October. 

Stay tuned ...

Just more voodoo snake oil product salesmen.

As far as BS fuses go
If you don’t want to blow $150
Change your old crusty fuses that may have seen too many turn on cycles (pics attached), then do it with the same $1 fuse, not the BS $150 SR boutique ones, as they will sound the same and age just as fast.

Snake oil is the lubricant that greases the tracks of the train of progress. All aboard! Toot! Toot! 🚂 Remember what the Little Engine that Could said, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!” 🤗

George, George, George of the Jungle, look out for that tree!! 🤕

It has to be O.C.D. Nothing else can explain it.

Maybe it is just his refusal to take the meds.
