Synergistic Red Fuse ...

In my opinion Audio Magic Beeswax SHD fuses are better than the blacks. I know they are very pricy (for fuses) but they worth the money.
I have AM SHD in my pre and Blacks in the amps (also in the DAC).. I think the improvement in the Pre superior to the one in the mas and much to my gusto and system.
The Blacks could be Beethoven, Mahler or Bruckner, the AM could be Mozart. 🤒

Naunc0,
Thank you for the information regarding your Plinius SA-102.

Naunco:
Actually I did just what you said. I first replaced the stock rail fuses with the SR - 20 fuses and then upgraded to the SR Blacks. There is a further improvement in using the Black fuses in the rail circuits. But to me there is still a significant improvement in replacing those awful sounding stock fuses. If you can get the values you need at the SR-20 sale price I would not hessitate to do so.

Both High End Electronics and Parts Connexion are good companies to order from.

It certainly is a wonderful time that we have these excellent fuses to alow us to enjoy music in such a meaningful way. I do think one can often get that special sound by using more than one brand of product. Each of stereo systems is on a household circuit that has 5 wall A/C outlets. My systems sound their best using a mixture of wall outlets. Currently I am using Synergistic Research Black, Synergistic Research Teslaplex, Furutech GTXD - R, and PS Audio Premier outlets in a mixture to achieve the best sound.

I think you have expressed a wonderful analogy. I want a bit of grit, funk, texture, and palpability in the music environment I listen to and so the the Audio Magic may not be the best fit for my system. But I also love Mozart. There is simply no other composer for that style of music. I do hope to try an Audio Magic Beeswax fuse in the future.

Find the right fuses and A/C wall outlets for your system and you will be rewarded by truly great sounding music.

David,
Ok with all you say much better than I do. I just ised an image that came to  Mind and is valid in my system in my room with my own musical preferences
My system is all connected to a Furutech gtx ncf (hese it is SWS NCF) outlet with a Torus transfo. In Europe there is no SR Schuko I think. 
Sometimes I ask myself where we will be in say 5 years with fuses that seems to be better and better with each new serious version...
As odd as it seems it is impressive what a 100€ can do for our system that costs thousands.

Hi Barbapapa, 
I do not doubt your preference for the Audio Magic Beeswax fuse,  taste and variables determine choice. There's an ongoing thread about a product called the Holo Audio Spring DAC which is an interesting R2R configured converter. A good friend of mine has ordered one.

He told me that they are very enthusiastic about the Audio Horizon Platinum fuse.  They apparently have tried the SR Black and the Beeswax and they believe the AH Platinum is better in their DAC. So as expected preferences and opinions will vary. P.S . Audio also advocates premium fuses for their components but not a specific brand/model of fuse. 

I believe any of the three fuses are quite worthy upgrades for all good quality audio systems. I happened to have chosen the SR Black but I'd likely be very pleased with these other premium fuses.
