Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hi OregonPapa & Charles1Dad,

thank you for your experienced answers. Things start to wake up. 

In my system the change from RED to BLACK, was not immediately
better. It was harsh, i had the feeling the softness of the middle
was gone and the tonality of that part as well. Like if there was a Gap between the octaves with a slightly cut out of the middle. Made me nervous.....:-)!
I changed the CD, AMP and Powerconditioner Fuse at the same time. I could hear from the beginning on, that the heights - which i missed with the REDS- where there and the BLACKS where much more dynamic. 
Day after Day it gets better. The Soundstage becomes huge, and Instruments seams to stand in the room. Spectacular is the bass and drums, the heights are shining and they are real. 
The starting experience is like if you are used to look at  a picture and you could see every color, now you can see the picture as a whole and the frame, as well as the room where it hangs. 
I hope that is not to bloomy:-) But still, i have only 75 Hours on the Powerconditoner and maybe 15 Hours on the AMP and CD.
I will change also the Fuses in the AMPS for the Active-Bass.

Enjoy the Music. 

Hi goldencutt,
It's good to know that the Black fuses are burning in for you successfully and improving your system's performance. The number of people who have posted their positive listening experiences with the SR Black fuses is really quite remarkable.

Loved your picture analogy.  

All of the harshness will go away when the fuses finally break in. That's when the "picture" comes forth in full relief. Its pretty amazing really. 

OP

Hello all,

I have one of these in a power cord running my CD player. Can anyone confirm which way they generally have the fuse inserted - with the SR writing with or against the flow of current?

I'm not sure which is correct as they sound different each way. Currently I have it against the flow of current as that was the way everyone said the Red and earlier SR-20's worked best.

 

Clifton,
You note that the sound changes based on the fuse direction  (as many have also noted). Choose the fuse direction that sounds best to you. As Geoff pointed out that the fuse lettering is done randomly and isn't current flow /direction specific.
