Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hi Gary,
You are part of an ever growing number of listeners who have tried the SR Black fuses with very successful results in your system. I'm glad you discovered this thread. 

Hi David, 
I don't follow any specific protocol in regard to new tubes.  I just let them acquire accumulated hours of burn in through regular use. There certainly could be a more effective approach than that ,  but I just play music. 

Jond and Frank,(and anyone else who is interested )
Here are two Ben Webster recordings I really enjoy. 
"Ben Webster Meets Don Byas" and  "Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster "
Both are stereo recordings from the early 1960s with as expected beautiful music. 
Charles, 

Poll: How many audiophiles have purchased aftermarket fuses in the past 15-20 years? Whenever Isoclean and HiFi Tuning began selling them.  I'm looking for the number of audiophiles not the number of fuses, which would obviously be much higher.  Much much higher.

a. 500
b. 1000
c.  2000
d.  5,000
e.  10,000
f.   20,000

cheers, g.k., Machina Dramatica

Count me in if you also include N52 magnets as replacements for fuses. . Tom

so if magnets were placed in their own sub category then the user base would be <10..meaning that all of f. is missing the sonic benefit of the magnetic link. Not UL approved but approved by my sonic receptors. Tom

To "take the plunge" for 30 days means hundreds of dollars sent to people I don't trust, a time period to test fuses that would be rendered useless if the fuse was in backwards, and a very expensive proposition  to replace all of the fuses in my rig…each supposedly requiring hundreds of hours of break-in time after which I'm supposed to remember what my system was doing before being festooned with the things.  Balderdash. Even if they sold these things for the $2 they may be worth (I simply don't believe that SR is actually bombing the things with magical tesla volts or runs them through some precious alleged quantum process) I wouldn't replace my normal fuses unless one blew. When a reasonable explanation of how a fuse overcomes its fuse holder's less precious metal, gets the mojo past the power supply, rectification circuits, and myriad other components, and results in actual improvements (not simply opinions from the faithful who drank the kool aid) noticed by sane people working in audio design who's opinions I actually do respect (Nelson Pass…please try these fuses!) I will firmly remain the (seemingly) lone skeptic. Another note for Oregonpapa…the higher frequencies in music have harmonic content that acts acoustically with harmonic content in lower (if isolated by testing more readily hearable) frequencies and makes music sound natural. The simple statement of "can't hear over 10KHZ" is irrelevant as regards musical events.
