Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Karmapolice:

I have done the RED versus Black fuse orientation in the SACD player-seven fuses and the amp - one fuse. I found the Blackorientation to be the same as the Red. Those fuses were easy for me to get to and so I did the experiment for myself and other fuse users. Of course there could be exceptions. Some of the previous posts have given detailed sonic descriptions of a backward fuse. It is an out of phase- focus sound.

jond:

I look forward to your sonic impressions of a new fuse. You have already taken a step many audiophiles have never done- you removed a fuse!  You also now know how to read the fuse identification information. You are thinking for yourself. What a great experiment awaits you. You can try an audio product for 30 days and if not happy return it easily for your money back.

I congratulate all readers who have tried the Synergistic Research  Red or Black fuses for taking a liberating step forward. I also congratulate all who auditioned the fuses but for whatever reason sent them back. Returning products that do not meet expectations is also liberating!

Enjoy the music.
Enjoy the challenge of improving your music system.

I decided to switch the direction on the black fuse on the dartzeel amp after all because lack of bass weight was bothering me.

The improvement was immediate with the bass weight slam back and the soundstage easily improved from the red fuse.

it goes to show that experimentation is always necessary and trust your ears ......

I am glad you took the effort to change the fuse direction. When the Synergistic Research fuse is not in the optimum direction there is that "sense" of something not being right, for me not being in focus.
I really think to get a emotionally satisfying system it takes a lot of work and not just a big blank checkbook!

I hope you will try a Synergistic Research Black fuse in your system. But you will have to figure out the fuse orientation on your own since you are upside down to us living in the Northern Hemisphere.

Since you are down under- have you tried the Black Discus products from New Zealand. Interesting stuff. They also have a 30 day trial on their products. But no fuses.

I empathize with your "Other Forum frustration". I hope you will tell us the name. No need to spend time at closed minded and uncivilized sites.

Lute music: I have a lot of Lute CD's. 
Nigel North- music of Robert Johnson "The Prince's Almain"
Shirley Rumsey- Music of the Italian Renaissance

Both on Naxos.

Rumsey's singing with the delicate lute or the renaissance guitar,when played on a Synergistic Research Black fuse based system is simply breathtaking.
