nonoise - How about, ......
How about
Shine your shoes, light your fuse
Can you use them old U.S. Blues

Music: Jerry Garcia

The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
New SR BLUE fuse thread ...
I’ve replaced all 5 of the SR BLACK fuses in my system with the new SR BLUE fuses. Cold, out of the box, the BLUE fuses stomped the fully broken-in SR BLACKS in a big way. As good as the SR BLACK fuses were/are, especially in comparison with the SR RED fuses, SR has found another break-through in fuses.
1. Musicality ... The system is totally seamless at this point. Its as if there is no system in the room, only a wall to wall, front to back and floor to ceiling music presentation with true to life tonality from the various instruments.
2. Extension ... I’ve seemed to gain about an octave in low bass response. This has the effect of putting more meat on the bones of the instruments. Highs are very extended, breathing new life into my magic percussion recordings. Vibes, chimes, bells, and triangles positioned in the rear of the orchestra all have improved. I’ve experienced no roll-off of the highs what so ever with the new BLUE fuses. Just a more relaxed natural presentation.
3. Dynamics ... This is a huge improvement over the BLACK fuses. Piano and vibes fans ... this is fantastic.
I have a Japanese audiophile CD of Flamenco music ... the foot stomps on the stage, the hand clapping and the castanets are present like never before. Want to hear natural sounding castanets? Get the BLUE fuses.
4. Mid range ... Ha! Put on your favorite Ben Webster album ... and a pair of adult diapers. Play Chris Connor singing "All About Ronnie," its to die for.
Quick .... someone here HAS to buy this double album. Its a bargain at this price. Audiophile sound, excellent performance by the one and only Chris Connor. Yes, its mono ... but so what? Its so good you won’t miss the stereo effects. If you’re the lucky person who scores this album, please post your results here.

Overall impressions:
Where the RED fuses took about 20 hours to sound their best, and the BLACK fuses took upwards of 200 hours of total break-in, the BLUE fuses sounded really good right out of the box ... and that’s without doing anything about proper directional positioning. Not that the BLUE fuses don’t need breaking in, they do. The improvement continues through week three. Its a gradual break-in thing where each listening session is better than the last.
Everything I described above continues to break new ground in my system as the fuses continue breaking in. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to tear myself away from the system in order to get things done. Its truly been transformed into a magical music machine. With the expenditure of $150.00 and a 30 day return policy there’s really nothing to lose. In my system, its like upgrading to a better pre amp, amp, CD player or phono stage. Highly recommended.
Kudos to Ted Denney and the entire staff at SR. Amazing stuff, guys. :-)

PS: If you try the SR BLUE fuses, please post your results here. Seems the naysayers, the Debbie Downers and Negative Nellie’s have hijacked the original RED fuse thread. A pox on their houses and their Pioneer receivers.

Ok, this is way off base. But in 67/8 I paid my 3.50 to attend a grateful dead concert at the Arc, a new venue near Fenway. Bear in mind that in those days most venues, like the Boston Tea Party were empty building with psychedelic posters on the wall. But very cool. So I paid my 3.50 and because I was late, they make me stand on the stage with the dead, next to the organist, one foot from the drummers, and five feet from Gerry who kept staring at me. You'd think that was great, but I was pissed off because I was stuck there while my friends were in the back cutting loose with the primo ladies we knew back then. Very primo ladies. |
@gdhal Not bad. I had to read up on Jerry Garcia’s take on pop memes, cynics, patriotism, and the impeachment of Tricky Dick (I was never a Dead Head). Not sure how it ties in with the thread (unless it’s the word "fuse"as a reference) but Ship of Fools came out at the same time and I see how that ties in with the impeachment as well. All the best, Nonoise |
uberwaltz This is probably the only thoughtful thing you’ve said. And I agree. MODS PLEASE SHUT THIS TOXIC THREAD DOWN! Cheers George |
