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 ...

Wolf, your point regarding directionality is well made. Unfortunately, at this point I have also come to regard a number of Millercarbon posts as "lame". I mean who insults another person’s listening skills they don’t even know? And Millercarbon, what’s with making 3,000 post in just under 14 months, I think your gonna hit Guinness territory soon.

If your thinking of responding why don't I just politely ignore your posts, I generally do, but I find Wolf's posts most interesting/fun, so that's why I read your last few.

Quick answer to Wolfman question: All wire is directional, but printed circuit board traces are formed from thin copper sheets, which are not directional. However all wire in an electrical component IS directional including but not limited to wire in resistors, transformers, fuses, capacitors, inductors, point-to-point wiring and ribbon connectors. The connecting cables are also directional - digital cable, interconnects, HDMI cable, etc. Alias, electronics manufacturers never got the memo on directionality, and are still hyper-focused on circuits.

Pop Quiz! Wolfie cannot hear the difference between a stock $1 fuse and an advanced audiophile fuse. Yet 50,000 others do hear the difference. What does that tell you? I know what Wolfie is thinking, "But my system sounds fabulous!"

Translation: Frank your evaluation is good enough for Ted Denney, but not for me. I’m jealous. Why doesn’t Ted care what I think? Why do people listen to you and not me? I’d like to hear from people who say its crap.
Thank you for your profound translation.

Only problem, Frank actually tried them. You have not.
I use SR Blue and Black, Hifi Tuning Supreme
Everyone who’s actually tried them knows they are really, really good. So sorry. Guess you’ll just have to content yourself with raining on the parade.
I would like to hear from those who use Orange and compared them to Blue or Black.
That’s a translation. Didn’t actually mean raining.

millercarbon, you are such a jerk :) Jerk in the rain

Kind Regards
