Synergistic Research Black fuese

I never tried the SR Red fuses but still had their Quantum fuses in most of my equipment. I just got some of their Black fuses and will say they are exceptional and clearly better than the Quantums. They only have about thirty hours on them and SR says it may take far longer than this but they are a very nice addition to my system that already staggered my realization of what was possible.

tbg:
You are absolutely correct. The Synergistic Research Black fuses really start to sound good at the 25 hour mark. But then the sound continues to expand and relax so that at the 100 to 150 hour mark you are really enjoying a higher level of emotional envolvement  with the music.

I hope to see you at the Newport Beach show June 3-5.

Who has tried the new Synergistic Research Black fuses?  How do they compare to the Reds?  If you are using the Blacks, do they live up to the hype? Thanksrnwong

I've been rolling fuses forever so replaced all 7 SR Reds with SR Blacks in one shot.  The most obvious change is a more musical and organic sound where SR Reds sounds hifi-ish in comparison. 

Everything is system dependent but SR offers a 30 days money back so no risk trying in your components.

Sounds like you rolled a Seven and came up a big winner !
I absolutely agree the Synergistic Research Black fuse can really improve a system. For me DACs, amps, SACD players, self powered sub woofers, and even a self powered sound bar have all had an improvement in  sound with a Black fuse installed.

davidpritchard, yep lucky seven :-)    Got an 8th for a SS amp rotating in for the summer soon so hoping lucky 8.

Audiophile fuses are a no brainer if your system is worth one's salt.  But if it's a pig, applying lipstick, it's still a pig so please use common sense.  If a fuse doesn't transform your $399 amp to a Pass XS300, it's expected!
