Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Solman989, yes I have bypassed fuses for years with great results in my digital front end gear. See my post above which talks about using high quality circuit breakers for power switches in amps negating the need for any fuse. 

Geoffkait, I take your challenge! , I know exactly what each and every piece of gear I have takes to burn in,  even my furutech gtx-rhodium outlet's , and yes, I do study and do critical listening with every piece,  I use straight music and patience to burn in everything,  sure it takes longer, and it's really unpleasant,  however,  I  assure you I can validate the time of burn in,  cheers 

Although I have not kept religious track of the hours on the SR Blacks in my CDP and pre, I figure I’m at or past the touted 75 hour break-in milepost. At this time I am extremely pleased to say that they are a significant improvement over both stock and Furutech fuses I’ve previously used.

The effects I notice are similar to the ones heard when I put the speakers and amps on Star Sound platforms: a quieter background, more precise placement and separation of players in the soundstage, and more heft and body to the music. As a bassophile, the lower end improvements are especially satisfying. Additionally, previously "hot" digital recordings are now more listenable, as there is less of a hard edge.

Lest anyone think these things have tilted the sound way over to the warm and soft side, these attributes come with no loss of detail whatsoever: the quieter background and more precise soundstage are bringing out even more detail from the recording. If using a stereo to listen to music is like looking out the window, it’s as though the view is even more clear.

Highly recommended.

@Limniscate,
Did you change all the fuses in your Magnepan 1.7i speakers?

A very nice concise and articulate description of the sonic changes when using the Synergistic Research Black fuses.

What speakers are you using with the Star Sound platforms?
