HFTs or more fuses

If you have just got the red fuses, do they have a 30day trial. 

It might be more worthwhile to get the black fuse to try as it seems to suggest that they are much improved over the Reds.

As for HFT's, placement and knowing your room , effects of sound and room treatments will key to obtain the greatest benefits or notice not much. The HFT's are effective but a knowledge is required.

Not knowing how your room is, otherwise, changing the fuses might be a more greater improvement - more like changing up a to higher level cable of the same manufacturer.

Purchased my Reds from Parts Connexion and there is no 30 day return. My room is funky basement room with only drywall on left wall. Front and right are poured masonry. I've treated the room with a Room Tune pack and a number of 2'x4' acoustic panels with good results. Think I will put Black fuses in my monos and call it quits. Pretty sure wife will have me committed if I start hanging Bells or HFTs all over the walls. Thanks for everyone's input.

I suggest your Synergistic Research BLACK fuses be bought from- The Cable Company- New Hope, Pen. or High_End Electronics, Apple Valley, Calif.

Why- They absolutely honor , respect,  and encourage the audiophile to utilize Synergistic Research's 30 day policy for returns. Easy to call both companies for prices and most BLACK fuses are now in stock.

Thanks, David
i will search sources for best price. However, I have since read that HiFi Supreme fuses, which are much cheaper than the Blacks, were very effective in amps.

There certainly IS a 30 day return on Synergistic’s fuses. In fact, I just - 10 minutes ago - spoke to Andy at Synergistic Research, because I was curious about the new Black fuses, AND because my dealer also told me there was no longer a 30-day trial, which I mentioned to Andy, and he informed me there IS (still) a 30-day return on ALL Synergistic fuses. However, you might want to call him and confirm that for yourself. Their phone number is listed on their site. I think if I put it in here, something triggers a blackout of the number. Here is a post from another thread:
"Manufacturer’s Description:

The Synergistic Research BLACK is the most advanced fuse to date. With Synergistic Research’s cutting edge UEF Coating and Graphine first developed for Synergistic Research’s new Atmosphere Series AC power cords, Synergistic Research Black Fuses deliver performance far beyond their world class RED Fuses. Improvements over RED include a lower noise floor, improved dynamics and clarity, and soundstaging that must be heard to be believed. In fact the performance gain over RED is far greater than the difference between SR’s RED fuses and their original Synergistic Research 20 Quantum fuses. Sold with a 30-day no-risk money back guarantee, you won’t believe how good your system can sound until you try BLACK but don’t say we didn’t warn you because once you go BLACK you’ll never go back to your old fuse!"

According to Andy, dealers who sell their fuses should be honoring this. I’m about to order a Black fuse and notify my vendor about the 30-day money back guarantee, because I was told the same thing as you: that that promotion "is no longer going on." So, check with Synergistic first.
