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.

^^^ Right you are. Today’s younger people get their musical jollies through MP3’s.

And as a further affront, they won’t stay off of my lawn!

Really nice to hear your faith was rewarded in a pleasant way.
I am in same boat as that I have no idea how they do what they do in my system.
But they do, I am happy and to heck with anybody who does not want to believe.
Enjoy the vibes!

From 2007 till 2009 I did run an audioshop. I always had a 2-dimensional system and a 3-dimensional system ready to demo.

The most fascinating thing was that when I played the 3-dimensional system women got excited and became more interested in audio.

The other thing what we noticed was the fact that women start using the system of their partner at home when they went from 2D to 3D.

I wanted to know how this was possible. I started to look for articles on the internet about sound and the difference in listening to sound between men and women. Women have a better developed hearing compared to men. But.....men are a lot more interested in audio and technique. But....women are also interested in music.

We see a huge difference in use when we bring new clients from an incomplete trial and errror system to a Tru-Fi system. This is based on the superior level in emotion with a Tru-Fi system. Many of our clients call their system addictive. When you experience a lot more emotion with your audiosystem it will influence your level in how often you use your system

Most audio products are very limited in diversity, this means there is not a lot of layering in sound. This is the main reason why there is a big group who is not interested in audio at all. These products are not able to influence our emotion enough.

But.....when you give them a demo in Tru-Fi regarding stereo, surround and vision they become like children. When people and even children watch and listen to vision and sound what can reveal all the details and layers. It will influences their emotion a lot more and they all get excited.

When you use the same content on a trail and error audio system the level of excitement is inferior.

bo ...

Very interesting post ... 

On the superior hearing that women have, I've always thought that they hear high frequencies better than men. I believe they can hear distortions in Mid-Fi systems that men cannot hear. Distorted high frequencies are painful for women. With the experience of a truly high end system,  their love of music will prevail. Music touches the souls of both men and women. :-)
