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!

I wish everyone would just mind their own beeswax.

In the meantime, the organic, pure clover version is due to be released next week.

john_g  A 5% difference in rating should not be a problem.  Phone SR if you want confirmation.  My amps are rated for 5 amp fuses but require 8 amp due to their enormous storage caps which have a huge inrush which popped the 5 amp fuses.  (SR exchanged the blown fuses for the appropriate ones). 

My amp designer friend who has NO tweaks in his system immediately heard the difference in my monoblock amps he designed using the blue SR fuse over the 5 amp Littlefuse (a new one too).  He decided (he's cheap) to install 5 amp breakers to replace the fuses.   His amps sound about as identical to mine as we can tell.   Whatever it is, the cheap fuses are INFERIOR in our amps than SR fuses.   The blue fuse sounded great immediately without the mandatory 72 hours the black fuse required to stabilize.  I also use the blue fuse in my heavily modded Dynaco ST70 and that is a substantial improvement over other fuses.

Seriously!!!! Anyone who buy this needs to be committed! https://youtu.be/YTY26k0CA0I?t=7

Has anyone of the gullible fusers here noticed, there’s not one single audio industry EE guru that posts on Audioogon giving the slightest bit credence to these snake oil fuses.

Why would any self respecting audio EE in his or her right mind post a positive take on aftermarket fuses knowing that the Insane Clown Fuse Posse would be hot on their heels for the foreseeable future, hounding their site, posting insane diatribes and calling for a boycott of their product?

Have you been paying attention to what happens to anyone who speaks their minds on the internet?

All the best,

Because they know it’s snake oil sunshine that’s why! And they sell their products to you guys and don’t want to loose any potential sales.
Especially it’s the way you guys go on about what they can do to the sound !! And then especially reversing them in an ac mains environment!! And then there’s the cost!!!!
