Synergistic Red Fuse ...

GEOFF KAIT FOR PRESIDENT. He has got the audio world's problem solved with solid logic, so maybe he can figure out our geo-political problems.  Since I support the leading candidates of neither party, and I live in CA which is presumptively Democrat, I am going to write in my nomination for GK for President.  Let's get behind GK and maybe we will all get some "crystals" for our audio enjoyment at the expense of the Federal government.   

Whitesox lives in CA?  I knew it!

"This sort of thing about how a fuse sounds needs to be put in the bin. Cheers George"

Its quite remarkable. A tightening of the focus, a more solid image, and most important of all for my tastes, a deeper appreciation for the organic sound of the instruments. Damn! ... cellos sound great! Much improved attack on pianos. More humanistic on vocals. Bowed bass goes down forever

How about elaborating on that statement, George?? Exactly what is "the bin" and what else have you put into it? 

And actually that wasn't a post on "how a fuse sounds." Its how the total system sounds without the smearing and other degradations caused by being burdened by a stock fuse. 

OP

A shout-out to friends of the forum jafreeman, davidprithart, and mikirob who weighed in on a comment or two of mine in an affirmative way.  Guys, my main passion in life is jazz music and a fine system with which to hear it, within the limitations of my living space and budget.  Literature is a passion, too, which I can enjoy the with the music.  I live for music.  As I point a finger at myself, never should we music lovers find ourselves at  unfriendly odds over silly issues like the debate over fuses and create ill-will toward one another with our strongly-held views as to what is right and what is wrong with a particular tweak, for example.  I responded irresponsibly in this thread to folks who love their upgraded fuses and I find myself now realizing that there are many paths to sonic pleasures and we must all let out ears (and pocketbooks) be our guide. Still, if you have a BS Meter working in your head, be wary of anything that GK posts about tweaks or more particular, anything that the sells.  That is my best advice.  
 Peace and love, Whitestix  

Mmm, Based on what grannyring said,  I believe my digital player having no glass fuses or fuse holder is very good,  when at first I believed the scheme was some sort of cheap implementation,  I have followed grannyring and talked to him on these thread's for the last few year's, I respect him, and a few other's here on this thread, I will tell you all,  when it comes to diy high end electronics, the man has a lot of experience, what he does is real world tweak's that save him alot of money! , however,  his  explanation of these after market fuses to me is spot on,  makes practical since , my opinion,  like all audio, some works,  some don't,  depending on preference, and any given component that may,  and may not be improved by these fuses,  personally,  I've seen certain components sound like crap on certain speaker's,  when the same speaker's sound incredible on other component's,  does this mean the speaker's don't work or are inferior? , my opinion,  no,  I've seen the same thing happen to nordost Odin cable's,  does that mean they don't work,  absolutely not,  my opinion,  they are  one of the hand full of best available cable's money can buy,  the same can be said about these sr-black's fuses with everything  that I have specified here,  it's my opinion that the sr-black's are also in the few of best available money can buy, may work,  may not,  some component's will improve,  some component's will not improve likely because the design will not benefit from high end fuses, at the end of the day,  the sr-black fuses remain some of the best available fuses money can buy.
