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.

This thread is mostly the same handful of guys saying the same thing over and over.   Just throw the whole thing out.  Especially if gk goes with it.   He can't even get the story about me right.  Pull the plug!

Yes this thread is just a seething cesspit of "snake oil" BS, just to make money from the technically gullible.
 I agree just pull the plug on it it's just a weed. Trouble is you can guarantee a new weed thread will will start  "The new Synergistic Research Green" fuses or something like it, you can take that to the bank, as the stupid high profit margins will not let this baby die ever it's malignant.

Agreed.  It is a very odd thing to write something then, when simply asked to defend it,  resort to denying it's main content.  Especially when the post is sitting right in this very page to be seen by anyone. 

But this is the age of Trump...so denial is all the rage I guess ;-)

Those of you who have not tried the SR Fuse line but insist you don’t have to, for you already know they cannot improve a system’s sound quality, are trying to sell us your authority over our conclusions based on our experience with the SR fuses. We aren’t buying your appeal to authority--I have no idea what authority you have, i.e., what is your idea of high fidelity sound? How do I know you are hearing the clarity I am hearing? What have you done to your system to eliminate noise and distortion--just what IS your system? Why are you a more careful listener than I? Prove it to me.
You insist on proof of how these better fuses work, and if someone cannot provide theoretic proof, then they cannot work as we claim. This is an empty demand, Prof---prove something to US, for we have heard the proof--you have not. George, sprinkle some snake oil on your nothing burger. Wolf, prove to us that you really did try the SR Blacks. You refuse to believe anyone’s experience, yet you expect us to believe YOU? Prove it!
I’ll take my listening and system-set-up experience as proof every time over you nattering nabobs of negativism and bloviated blather. So THERE---HA!
