Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hi Cal,
I'm glad you are happy with the SR RED fuses, they're an excellent  tweak in the Frankenstein. It's good to know that you're continuing to enjoy this SET amplifier.

Looking forward to your Atmosphere power cord thread. Atmosphere cables take longer to break in- equilibrate in a system than many cables.
I suggest 150 to 200 hrs. I do think the UEF technology in the fuses and cables do somehow interact positively with each other.

When replacing the A/C wall receptacle please remember to turn off the circuit breaker before starting the replacement. Make sure it is the correct circuit breaker! Take the time to clean the house wires going to the new duplex. Give the new a/c duplex 7-10 days to fully open up and enjoy.

Not as jaw dropping as installing Black or Red fuses but still helpful is treating the entire audio circuit all the way back to the power company's transformer with a Jim Hagerman FryCorder. This is a "cable conditioner" somewhat like the AudioDharma Cable Cooker but it treats the house circuit. The price is about that of two Black fuses. I have one and like it. I treat my audio circuits about every 4 mouths. I use my system while the FryCorder is plugged in to the system. Hagerman sells direct and he has a web site.

The Marantz SA11-S2 SACD player uses 7 fuses! One power fuse and 6 rail fuses. Each new Black fuse has made a sonic improvement.

These Black fuses also improve the headphone listening experience to a degree I simply did not think possible. With the Synergistic Research Black fuses in place, the Sennheiser 800 and Enigmacoustic Dharma headphones are producing sound stages that are thrilling to experence.

Thanks for all of your advise. 

I'm looking forward to the SR power cord thread as well. With the same technology as the fuses, I can only imagine what a five-foot long power cable will do. And ... I will reporting on four of the cables as they break in, in the system.  150 to 200 hours, eh? Wow. 

OP

In a way going from a couple of hundred bucks a pop fuses to $3K for a power cord is a whole different ballgame.

Jetter,
That's true.
Components, cables and certain tube replacement/upgrading, it can become expensive in a hurry. What makes these fuse tweaks so attractive is their performance /cost ratio . The power cables could certainly be  worth every penny for what they  provide in sound  quality improvement.  However, 
"Whole different ballgame" is right.
