I am glad to hear the Black fuse is making an excellent DAC even better.
You may get whiplash shaking your head at how fast yet clean Oscar is playing!
When does something as trival as changing a fuse become meaningful. I was reminded of that today when listening to Vivaldi's trio sonata op.1 number 12 (RV63) - La folia. Las folia is a simple melody that has been around since the 1400's. It's simplicity lend itself to variations in the melody, loudness, and tempo
OK. so what. It really is not a trio of two viloins and cello as the title suggests, but there is also the continuo of a lute and harpsicord. Before my fuse upgrades, the high pitched plucked lute and harpsichord were burried in the back of the soundstage and added more of an annoying bee buzzing than anything musical.
This piece reminds me of the rock songs that start with a simple melody and eventually end in a furrious climax of interplaying instruments, speed and volume. The Yardbirds
with Jeff Beck on lead guitar and Jimmy Page on bass guitar springs to my mind. Especially the song "Over, Under, Sideways, Down".
With the Black fuses in place, the bee buzzing becomes instead a furry of individual notes and even the left and right hand parts of the harpsicord can be distinguished.
The improvement in sound was significant and more importantly the emotional communication even more improved.
So give a Synergistic Research Black fuse a try if you want
your music listening to have greater impact and more enjoyable.
