Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Last night was a night of wonderful live music. Zuill Bailey playing a program of cello pieces with Dominic Dousa on piano. The listening room holds 225 people and I was fortunate to be sitting front row -10  feet from the performers. The music were pieces that had a relationship to the impact Picasso had on the world of art. Casals, de Falla, Debussy, and Piatigorsky all these men had links to Picasso.

The interaction of the two performers was inspiring and enlightening. One brief practice of  parts of the program was held earlier in the day and then a confident  "Let's Go!"  Two consummate musicians  interacting and at times improvising from the score added a freshness and vitality not often heard at "classical" concerts. 

I highly recommend Zuill Bailey's cello CD's. Especially the beauty of his cello and guitar CD recorded with David Leisner (Azica Records). I believe his sound conveys wonderful emotions and has a freshness that gives the music a real sense of being alive and not merely performed.

And then to come home after the 50 mile  drive to put on the headphones was a sonic dessert that ensured the most blissful dreams.

I do so enjoy the benefits of upgraded A/C wall outlets and upgraded fuses.

Who has tried the quantum black fuse in a CD transport? What were the results?

My new CEC TL5 belt drive transport will be arriving fairly soon, and I am thinking about upgrading the the fuse.

Been listening to Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street. What a tragedy that Clifford Brown was taken from us so early! 😔

Tommylion;
Good question. I'd also like to hear from someone that actually put the SR Black fuse into a transport as apposed to speckulation :-).

I put SR Blacks into my Symphonic Line CDP and Ayre C-5xeMP multi-disc player, and they improved the sound in both.  

I'd also like to thank both Synergistic Research and The Cable Co for resolving an issue I had with the 1 amp SR Black fuse blowing when I returned from vacation and simply powered on the Ayre player.  

After a little bit of back and forth (and some good advice from oregonpapa, who definitely does NOT work for SR but does have common sense), SR agreed to send me a 1.25 amp fuse gratis.  It was nice to see a company exercise a customer-friendly approach to an issue occurring in the grey area, so to speak.
