Synergistic Red Fuse ...

wolf-garcia ...

Its very comforting to know that someone, somewhere, voted you in as the spelling, punctuation and grammar Nazi for the site.   Also comforting to know that you are watching our backs by taking a protection mode to ward off the profiteering manufacturing evildoers who try to steal our money for no gain what-so-ever.  What in the world would we do without you?

Hmmm, I'd like to find out. 

Take care ...

What a wonderful post. I find it interesting that you and I have had good results with these Back fuses and both of us have serious musicians in the family - your wife playing violin and my son viola. I am also blessed to have a reference point for the seemingly obligatory audio show female voice in my daughter who is in band and choir. It is a thrill to hear her sing the national anthem at a school function. Acappella - no auto pitch- no compression - no retakes - no overdubs. Just heartfelt emotion.

That is more of what I hear with the Black fuses in place - emotion. This is with using three different systems in three different rooms.

So if your life experience would benefit from listening to music that communicates with more emotion give the Synergistic Research Black fuses a trial. If you are absolutely content with your system, quit reading these posts on Audiogon and go turn on your music system.

Having musicians in the family is a real bonus. One of my grandsons plays the bassoon at the concert level. He lives in Chicago, but when he comes home, he practices at my daughter's and son-in-law's home where he stays. I always try to take in a few practice sessions. Its been a real pleasure over the years hearing him develop from a Junior High School clarinet player to the fine, soulful bassoon player he is today. He covers the gambit ... from chamber groups to symphony orchestras.

My thanks to Oregon, Charles and David, the true gentlemen here who have been exchanging preferences in music and food and also for holding this topic together against all boorish onslaughts. 
  
Now about ten hours in on the SR Blacks in my Maggies, I am being treated to a sweeter, more detailed tapestry of instruments, some not heard in their fullest detail until now. Vocal harmonies are better defined for their separate voices, bass and low organ notes are extended and more relaxed.  Congas and are popping out, cymbals are emerging that were before part of a whole that I had wished was more defined.

These fuses are a worthy addition that should continue to improve, but if they stopped here, I could not complain.  I will change out the SR Reds for Blacks in the mains of my ARC amps and Wadia 861SE in the near future, as these areas have also benefited from every fuse I have tried.  

Cheers to all,
Joe

Joe ... As I stated before, I replaced the SR RED fuse in my ARC amp about a week ago with an SR Black fuse.. I don't know if its a synergy thing or not now that I have other Black fuses in the system, but its safe to say that the amp has afforded the most improvement of all. 

For last night's listening session, I decided to pull out some of my Cisco/Impex reissues and have a go at them.  The Harry Belafonte Sings the Blues album (45 rpm)  was amazing. The instruments were wall to wall and tonally correct. Belafonte's voice was such that I felt I could reach out and touch it. The improved realism with the new fuse in the amp has brought the system to another new level.  Percussion and skin tones on various types of drums is right there. Big improvement in the bass as well.
