Wig:
That is a good description you wrote of the sound depending on how the fuse is orientated. I absolutely agree with giving them a lot of break in especially with SACD players. Maybe a couple of on - off cycles over the next 5 days. That's an unscientific observation of my CD player responding to some on - off cycles.
I should have gotten the Sony, the Marantz SA11-S2 has 5 fuses !
My last shipment of fuses has a note in the box. It points out the BLACK fuses have a small circle of UEF material at the middle of the fuse barrel. Be careful not to scrape that off putting fuses in and out.
Do not forget any sub woofers in your systems. They really respond to the Black fuse.
As I type I am listening to Grammy winning classical celloist Zuill Bailey playing duets with guitarist David Leisner. The album is "Arpeggione". I have been fortunate to hear Mr. Bailey multiple times including in the recording studio. The Black fuses are really bringing out the bite of the bow across the cello strings and the wonderful low and complex harmonics. At the same time the delicate overtones are there with David Leisner's guitar work.
I do hope all reading this thread will consider trying the Black fuse. I think they are worth the effort to audition and they can be returned if they do not work in your system.
