Synergistic Red Fuse ...

"From a practical standpoint the Synergistic Research 30 day return policy allows one to audition what a fuse can do to the sonics of their system with the peace of mind that if they do not like the change they can get their money back."

if I recall correctly Audio Magic offers a 60 day return policy. That’s an even more practical standpoint, eh? In fact, and I yes I know we’ve been over this before, everyone and his brother offers a 30 day return policy. So in and of itself that policy you constantly mention is no advantage, you know, per se. when I say you constantly mention, this is what I'm referring to:

"Finally they are one of the few companies that allow and encourage a 30 day trial."

If I haven't compared directly in the same products the SR Black vs the Besswax I compared the SR Red vs the Beeswax (1st generation) in my preamp and the AM is a very clear winner in my system.
The Black is another animal.

I wish everyone and his brother and their dealers offered  30 day or 60 day returns on their fuses and A/C wall outlets. Perhaps it is more common than I think, but it is just not universally true. The Cable Company does not allow for fuse returns except for Synergistic Research, if I am reading their fine print about returns correctly. 

So for non Synergistic Research companies I suggest getting a return policy approved prior to purchase. Audio Magic does not state their return policy at their web page that I just reviewed or at two of their dealer websites -Jaguar Audio and High End Electronics.

I do think knowing for sure what the return policy is for these products will allow those sitting on the fence to find out for themselves how much fuses and outlets affect the sound of their systems. I hope the untried will take the plunge and audition fuses and outlets. There  are many fuses sold that will sound better than the fuse originally sent by the manufacturer of the equipment.

Maybe Audio Magic will post their policy here at this thread. It certainly is an innovative company with a host of products. The owner has been kind enough to invite me to hear his personal system in the past while I attended previous Rocky Mountain Audiofest.

I put those PS audio plugs in years ago as they're great for my antique iron lung collection. And you have to wonder how many people would install good wall plugs and after 29 days would think, "gee, these things just don't cut it"…and friggin' send  them back! "Dear PS Audio, these wall plugs simply don't make me happy enough, so GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK"...

I've read in a respected medical journal that the insertion of those PS audio plugs can make a person feel uptight and in severe cases produce an overwhelming compulsion to write inane things on audio boards.
