Synergistic Red Fuse ...

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.

So sayeth Flakey Foont. 

A very pithy and funny comment, Geo.  If the fuses work, that is just dandy, really.  What the hell, a great tweak for $100 is a no-brainer for the dough we all have wrapped up in our gear.  Folks here love them and I can't dispute what their ears are hearing.  But, virtually anything spouted by GK must be judged for what it is, pure foolishness, unfounded by any rational thinking or science.  Remember, the dude has skin the game. "Crystals", indeed.  Cheers, Mark
