Synergistic Red Fuse ...

From one of Wolfie's previous posts:

 "I don't order anything from a company that I feel makes up ethically questionable technobabble ad copy ..." 

So, without ever trying any of the SR fuses or any of the other SR products, somehow Wolfie feels justified to just sit high up on his pedestal and pass down judgement on what others should buy, what others should use, what others hear and how others should spend their money.  
 
I'll bet there's a great job waiting for Wolfie somewhere deep down in one of the dusty, no longer necessary, bureaus in Washington D.C.  

Wolfie ... a prime candidate for a central planner if ever there was one. 

In the meantime, Robert (Mr. Record) came over for a listening session last night. I dug deep into the jazz vault and pulled out a CD copy of the Chico Hamilton Quintet. Gotta say ... Eric Dolphy and Fred Katz were right there in the room. Wow!  

Next? Another five-pack of the  HFT's and one more Black fuse. After that? A set of the PHT's for the cartridge and a whole bunch of the ECT's for the electronics. 

OP

 

I move for a group chant. 

The scary thing is Geffkait’s assertion that its the shielding nature of the casing used for the fuse (use of Graphene in the casing not the internal filament) that delivers results at least makes sense. The problem is it is only a theory with nothing concrete to confirm it. . Nothing I have seen in vendor literature "technobable" or elsewhere confirms this claim. Am I missing something? Geoff, how do you know this is the case?   If it is, you'd think the vendor would say so.  

This is an example of what I think Wolf is talking about when questioning SR's literature.

My views are never locked in stone. New findings can always change them.

I’m glad people think they sound good, but that can be said for many things so alone is not much to go on. I guess not many things promoted on this site can be had for a mere $100 or so. I think that is a lot of the appeal. Its a cheap thing to try on the grand scale of things in these parts. Just like Machina Dynamica. Not so much anywhere else. Its like shopping the Nordstrom budget basement. You never know what great deal you might find. :^)

Value is in the eyes and ears of the listener. YMMV.

Yes, you're missing something, grasshopper. This is just another one of your classic, "Gee Whiz, I've looking all around the Internet but I can't find anything," beauties.

Mapman also offered this,

"This is an example of what I think Wolf is talking about when questioning SR's literature."

Or maybe he's just another all thumbs Googler.

Mapman also opined,

They're not locked in stone. They're locked in Jello.

Mapman also philosophized,

"I’m glad people think they sound good, but that can be said for many things so alone is not much to go on. I guess not many things promoted on this site can be had for a mere $100 or so.

Whatever. What's important is that you're glad.

Unfortunately Geoff just attacks me and clarifies nothing asked.

Just more of the typical pattern of obfuscation.

Its OK.  Most people don't give a rats arse about $100 fuses anyway.
