Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Papa, I also explained above why I am not really interested in even a free fuse. I am interested in understanding how or why they work though. It matters to me.   If I understand how something does what it does, I am more likely to jump.      That’s just me though.  There are many things I do not buy into even though I know they are good and other I do not buy into because I just don't know why I should.   People report positive changes in their systems here everyday for myriad reasons.    Gotta be selective.     For every fuse one buys there is some other good tweak out there that they are not buying.

For those without a skeptical bone in their body, there is this Machina Dynamica product line of Geoffkait's that has your name wrtiten all over it.... :^)   Find out what artificial atoms can do for you.

Indeed a "bully" did throw your baseball in the lake.
This particular manufacturer states that a fuse can not affect the sound of a system in a positive way. The Black Synergistic Research fuses have improved the sonics in my three systems.
 
1. Art Audio PX-25 amp- Marantz SA11S1 player- custom Horns.
2. Emotion Type 45 tube amp-Antelope DAC-Terasonic speakers.
3. Eddy Current Zana Deux headphone amp- Marantz SA11S2 player- Sennheiser 800 headphones.

In the Terasonic system the original fuses were compared to already burned in Black fuses and both directions were tried. The Black fuses had an immediate improvement in sound - in both the DAC and the amp. 

The Present of PS Audio has stated that aftermarket fuses can have a significant sonic effect on his equipment.

I hope you will try a fuse. I think you will have a satisfying improvement in sound. If not send it back. Listen to the fuse for a 100 hrs. and if your fears about replacing fuses still persists
send it back. 

Do not let the "Bully's win!

Enjoy music.
Enjoy improving your system.

For the record I don't consider Al a skeptic, rather I view his interest as an attempt to understand or explain the possible mechanism of action. Unlike others I believe that All would accept the offer of a premium fuse and simply try it and report back his genuine impression. Al has acknowledged that there are numerous  posters on this thread whom he respects and trusts  their listening results. In my opinion you buy audio products with the intention of improving the sound quality and thus the enjoyment of your system. These fuses offer this to occur. 

It would be nice to know why and how a device works, no argument. This knowledge isn't necessary for one to recognize an obvious improvement in one's system and music reproduction. The latter is my priority. 
Charles, 

Mapman ...

If your inquiring mind wants to know if Graphene is 8 million times more conductive than copper, or if that is just a wild marketing claim made by the sales department of SR, why not solicit an answer from SR? Surely they have a white paper they can show you as to how they came up with that claim.  

If you remember, I contacted SR via their Facebook page when one poster had a blown fuse and worked out a solution for him. He came into this thread with what was nothing more than a customer complaint against the dealer who sold him the fuse that failed. My reward? I was accused by another member of having some kind of working relationship with SR. You have to realize that this kind of crappola gets old.

As for me, Mapman, I couldn't care less about such claims. And lest you think I'm being naive, the ONLY reason I tried the first RED fuse that started this entire discussion was because of the 30 day return policy. Same with the BLACK fuses. Had there not been a return policy, I most likely wouldn't have made the purchase. 

Honestly, and I'm not trying to push your buttons here ... how you can muddle through 18 pages of positive results by folks who have had outstanding results from the SR fuses and still be a skeptic is beyond me. Not saying that you're wrong ... just that I don't understand it.

Take care ...
