SR Blue Fuses

I just wanted to share my excitement with my SR Blue Fuses. I installed 3 in my Anthem I225. Its been probably 100 hours of burn in time now and I really am beside myself in the difference. The bass is really full, my highs are nicely extended and my soundstage is huge. Just today, my soundstage became ridiculous.
If you are happy with your current amplifier / preamplifier and intend on keeping it for awhile I highly recommend replacing the fuses with SR Blue fuses, if not the Orange fuses. I got my Blues for 30% off. It is quite possibly the best tweak I have done aside from room treatments.

It takes awhile to burn the fuses in but once they are, it’s pretty awesome the difference they make. I was pretty skeptical about this mod and thought it was a lot to spend but now that I have, it was the best $400 mod I have done. It made more of a difference than my upgraded power cords and actually probably made a more of a difference than going from my signal cable silver res speaker cables to my ap solo crystals.

Highly recommended if you already love your amp/preamp and intend to keep them for awhile!

If you can’t hear  the difference between a Buss fuse and a SR Blue fuse
then your audio system is not that resolved ,or have a hearing Problem !!


Naaaaa, ya gotta get this right, it’s more that you don’t have any expectation bias because it wasn’t you that paid >$150 for a 50cent fuse, but your gullible buddy who owns the fuse did poor sod.

And just to add before it comes, "AC mains fuses are not directional", as the mains changes it’s direction 60 x a second that why the US it called 60hz mains frequency, in Australia it’s 50hz.

Audio Magic Super Fuse Bees Wax Ultimate seems to have very positive reviews.  If I recall correctly, I believe one reviewer believed it was better than the SR Blue for his particular audio component/chain.

Much like Scotch and Bourbon, high-end Mezcals are primarily enjoyed by discerning adults as opposed to exchange students. Also one not need bother discussing artesian spirits with a guy who drinks kiddie cocktails (which he appears to be claiming he invented) with cheesy names.

Shot of sloe gin, double shot of Southern Comfort, with orange juice.
Like a screwdriver, sort of.
I call it a sloe comfortable screw.

Zero taste is an understatement.

Del Maguey Vida Single Village artisanal Mezcal is superb...loosen that MAGA hat Millercompost...also "special" fuses are nonsense as they can’t, and won’t, do anything except possibly explode as one SR fuse did when I tested a pile a while back. Thinking magic fuses are sonically relevant is like claiming your gas cap makes your car faster...it never would and never will, regardless of how much hyperbole and bloviation is applied.

A curious audiphile may want to peal the sticker on his SR (or other "audiophile" fuse). Then look for the same fuse on Amazon. You'll be surprised to found that it cost 4$ and was made in Russia. An instructive video about fuses here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHl7Dsln19Q
