Synergistic Red Fuse ...

""But to me these fuses are up there with Shaun Mook Mpingo pucks, very unexplainable things going on, can really **** with your head."

This is where I find being generally disinterested in how this sort of thing works a true bonus. I already have enough stuff ****ing with my head both professionally and as an unpaid volunteer elected official!"

More sympathetic I could not be. Have you tried Dr. Phil?

Question, there is a review in Positive Feedback of the SR Red Fuse, a very positive one I might add.  Here's the relevant paragraph for my question.

"The Synergistic Research Reference RED fuse is a horse of a different color. The basic design features proprietary alloy wire and end caps utilizing anti-resonant ceramic bodies. They are treated with 2,000,000 volts of electricity that Synergistic Research calls Quantum Tunneling. In addition, Synergistic Research claims that "a new treatment process applied exclusively to RED fuses realigns the crystal structure of both the burn wire and the end caps for a refinement in high frequency characteristics and improved timbre linearity"."

So, this begs the question, does Synergistic Research claim the Red Fuse is non-directional?  It seems to me that their "new treatment process applied exclusively to RED fuses (that) realigns the crystal structure" would make the RED fuse non directional. If that's true what all this about the letters S and R? Or does that S and R business apply only to the BLACK fuse? Furthermore, and this is really my question, regardless of what SR claims, is the RED fuse really non-directional, or is it directional?  Has anyone actually gotten to the bottom of this?

I have seven SR reds in my system that were placed in three phases, each of which sounded so right, I have not felt a need to flip them.  I would discount directionality on the reds in favor of a long break in period. 

If the fuses are directional and it matters, it should not be a mystery.

Do what OP suggested early on. If you have a question or issue go to the source (Synergistic Research) ask your question and let the experts resolve it.

If you find out anything new of interest, please share with others here.

By the way, Geoffkait--in looking at your MD site, I presume your intent is to amuse and educate audiophiles. I appreciate your inventiveness and humor. Just wondering though--if I were to add your teleportation tweak or the intelligent chips to my shopping cart, do you then say, "Stop--enough--I don't actually take your money or send you anything. It's all a hoax, meant to educate the naive." Or, do you really take my money to commit the ultimate scam?  You may want to start a new thread on this, or you may choose silence, but please--let's get to the bottom of MD and your real mission.
