Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Right, that’s second hand information. The WA chips sometimes don't work on fuses of any type.  The cable chips work on cables yet the cable jacket and shielding doesn't interfere with the chip.  It's not cut and dry either what the WA Chip is doing, how it operates, OR why it doesn't work in some cases.  Can't the WA Chip be attached to one of the end caps of the Black fuse, avoiding perhaps interfering with the coating, if in fact the coating is really the issue?

First hand ... second hand ... from the horse's mouth. No matter, geoffkait ... the info I have came from SR' s Facebook page. If you want to try a WA fuse chip on your Black fuses ... go for it. As for me ... I'll take SR's word for it. 

Take care ...

Ok, so now I have no clue what in the blue hell these quantum chips do or when to use them or not.

Good thing this is just audio and not prescription drugs. The ramifications of trying things blindly just because would be much higher.

With audio, what’s the worst thing that can happen? Less perfect sound? Or if just a placebo no change at all that perhaps some might still hear for whatever reason. As long as the fuse is reliable to blow when it should.....

I will try my free trial fuse from OP both with and without and report on what I hear when I can.

This better be good!!!! I’d rather spend my time listening to the great sound and music I already have and worked hard to achieve then experimenting with things I have no clue about how they work or why. :^)

In any case when I tell my more normal than I friends including some world class systems engineers that I am experimenting with $100 hifi fuses and quantum chips, that will make for some entertaining discussions. Especially if they truly seem to work and make things sound better. I have absolutely no clue how a quantum chip works. Makes a fancy fuse seem mainstream in comparison.

no problem but wasn’t it SR who stated that their fuses were absolutely positively NOT directional?  I have a definite tendency to take everything I read on Facebook or anywhere else for that matter, when it comes to high end audio, with a grain of salt. Nothing personal against you or SR.

^^^ ... Hmmm ... I don't recall anything about SR saying their fuses weren't directional. I may have missed it though.

I'm looking forward to your assessment on the fuse. If it works for you ... don't tell the "world class engineers."  I seem to remember an audio magazine where the "world class engineer" constantly made the claim that "all amplifiers sound the same," and "if it  measures the same, it sounds the same." :-)
