Synergistic Research Black fuese

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? Thanks

It is like you can look and hear all the way back to the vibrating reed in his sax. It certainly is a great time to be an audiophile if one is willing to audition the various components and create a truly synergistic system. David Pritchard

That said, has anyone had problems with the Black fuse blowing upon preamp or amplifier turn on? This has happened to me a couple of times and I am currently working with Alfred at High End Electronics to figure out what is causing this situation. The SR Black fuse ratings are the same as the OEM fuses that I replaced.

The amplifier manufacturer had me go to the next largest fuse and since then no problems. The SR Black fuse really does improve the sound. David Pritchard

I agree that the SR Black fuses do indeed make a significant improvement in overall sound quality. It is also interesting that you mentioned going to the next largest fuse... I suspect that is what I would try next. Best regards, Al

So thank you for the suggestion. Alfred at High End Electronics was great to work with and supplied replacement fuses in exchange for the blown fuses. He did share with me that the SR Blacks tend to be on the sensitive side. The sound quality is a big step up from top to bottom. It is just amazing.... Thanks! Al
