Jaffreeman…your concern with my informal writing style seems to be clouding your ability to absorb information…I, being the mensch I am, accept those who lack humor and am as compassionate toward them as any devout practicing athiest can be…you're welcome.
I assumed describing my experience with the fuses would engender criticism in this forum as it always has, but previously I hadn't used the SR Blacks so although I found SR's claims silly and the users descriptions of the benefits somewhat "over the top," I decided to give myself a shot at these things instead of simply stating my distaste of "magical" audio products in general. Note I didn't pay for the fuses (which were returned, including the blown ones) so I did lack the "let's see what MY 125 bucks sounds like" point of view…this might be important because if you think SR is a relevant force in audio you're more likely than I am to percieve that these things make a difference after the requisite break-in time, which as noted previously here can often be the same as ACTUAL sonic improvement over whatever you remember your system sounded like 140 hours previous to the installation of the SR fuses (allowing for fuse direction changes). So there's that. I might have needed a comma in there…In any case my test was what it was…I forgot to mention I put SR blacks in my subs also which in one case at least did result in a difference noted…that was another fuse blow incident (the difference being "no sound") witch when added to my 50 year or so "lifetime gear fuse incident" total for audio, guitar amp, and pro sound fuse trauma really skews those stats…not many lifetime fuse issues at all…hence the SR FUSES CAN BLOW warning…hope that point is clearer. I'll end this post with a thought…Simply try to remember what things actually are designed for when trying to make things better with fuses…they're fuses…if you feel they can influence the complex active signal chain in audio gear (which they' re inherently not part of) in anything they inhabit because others simply say they can and really really want you to agree (30 day money back return…DO IT NOW), have fun with that…hell, it could be a life style!
