Synergistic Red Fuse ...

jm ..

Its not politics if you don't take a side. At least not by my thinking . 

I'd say, just relax and have fun. Sorry if you were offended. No offense intended.

OP

Too expensive. I'm going wire the fuses out of circuit and stick a smoke detector nearby.

Fuse heads,
I bit the bullet last week and ordered a  SR 20 Black fuse which was marketed at 50% off the regular price.  I tried the SR Red fuse in my Don Sach 6SN7-based preamp earlier this year and found no discernible difference compared to the sound of my system using $10 Hifi Tuning fuse.  I just fired up the system with the SR 20 fuse and can say definitively that my system sounds fantastic (with a Dennis Had Inspire Bottlehead SET amp and Spatial Audio M4 Hologram speakers, and a modified Oppo 103 CD player).  I hasten to add that the system sounded fantastic last night when I turned it off and went to bed.  

So, I will run the fuse in and then have my pal swap the two fuse variants to see if I can tell any difference.  It makes no sense that the fuse would improve the sound, but it is worth a few shekels to have fun trying it out. And obviously a lot of you "fuse heads" are devotees of the SR tweaks.  
I will let you know my results in a couple of weeks.  Cheers, Whitestix

Hi, whitestix ...

Welcome to Crazy Town. :-)

Glad to hear you're getting good results.  

Just for clarification, did you install a  SR20 Quantum Fuse, or the   Synergistic Research BLACK Quantum Fuse? The reason I ask is that there is a huge difference in price.

They both have rave reviews on the Highend-electronics site.

Wow. We did what couldn't otherwise be done.
