Synergistic Red Fuse ...

^^^ I agree David. 

I have two more Black fuses to go. One in the phono and one in the amp. Two Red fuses in there now.

The system at this point is FAR in excess of where I thought it could ever be prior to putting in the first SR Red fuse which I chronicled at the beginning of this thread.

I'm so pleased that so many have taken up the challenge and tried the SR fuses. Its fun to share the experience.

After installing the SR power cords, and as they break in, I can really hear what these fuses are capable of. Everything you described above is my experience as well. As far as bass goes, its as though I've added a fine quality sub woofer to the system. 

Keith,
I know your Krells require multiple fuses and cost can add up rapidly. Do you have a component that may require only 1 or 2 fuses? If so this would offer the opportunity to directly compare the SR Black and Beeswax fuses. Otherwise relying on others opinions can be tricky and with obvious limits. What's better in one component or to a different set of ears may not match your needs.

Here’s the AH site: http://www.audio-horizons.com/pages/fuse.html

I recently purchased the AH Platinum Ref fuse for my AR Ref 3 preamp.

I do agree the preamp sounds superb with this fuse!

But... it also sounds superb with the fuse that came in it - which may not be the stock fuse - it doesn’t look like a standard fuse with just a wire, but has a more complex element in it (it is glass, so I can see the element).

And... I must say I’m at a bit of a loss to report the AH fuse is "much better" in any respect.

I’m a bit inclined to think that many with such investments in their fuses "want to hear" significant improvements over their stock fuses - and that there is significant "placebo" effect with fuses as with cables.

But... hey... "to each his own."

Basedude,
I can only speak for myself in this regard. The "placebo effect" may be occurring in your particular case (who knows?). In my situation recently I have re-inserted both the stock fuses and the SR 20 fuses.    Easily the SR 20 is heard to be better than the stock fuse.  When I return to the SR Red and/or the Black fuses, the improvement is undeniable, they are just superior sounding (the Black being clearly superior).


Not every tweak I've tried in past experiences has been successful, regardless of what they may have cost or my  expectations.
In my case I can state without hesitation that the SR Black fuses are an excellent addition to my system.  I can also accept that in your case the outcome is different for whatever the reasons may be. If the costlier fuses were only marginally better or just different, that's what I would report. That isn't the result of my listening.
Charles,

Hi Charles,  I agree with your post to me,  really,  all of the post here is a basis to get my interest,  everyone's equipment is different than mine here, I only have two component's in my current system until I assemble a second system within the next two years,  as I said,  my digital front end apparently does not have any glass fuses that I see, I  will up-grade my digital in the future,  however,  the Vincent cd-s7 is so good,  it's a keeper for atleast a second system,  this player was to my liking over a much costlier ayon cd2s player,  the Vincent was sensitive to power cord changes,  huge impact on the sound,  as if it's a totally different machine in a incredible way,  I have learned over the last couple of years,  it's not what something cost,  but rather what a component does for the listener's-owner satisfaction.
