Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Kedoades, you can obtain Elliott’s recommendation at Synergistic Research. I had to move from a 5 to an 8 amp slo-blo fuse due to the immense size of my custom amp’s capacitors. He recommended the same as rated size fast blow fuses for my solid state 1978 Yamaha receiver and ADS speakers (for the tweeters). He also recommended a 4 amp instead of 3 amp standard slo-blo fuse for my Dynaco Stereo 70 (modified) which is a tube amp. So, it is equipment dependent as to using the same size versus larger size fuse. The fuses on both amps changed the sound 100% for the better-superb after 150 hours of use.

Yes, the trolls are out tonight.  I don't care for the definitive reason(s) for the SR fuses *and duplex outlets) making my amps creating sound in my listening rooms that are so superlative versus just very good, everyone who has heard the result can testify that they never heard a better sounding audio system.  I don't have SOTA equipment, but it's high end gear, wiring and tweaks (all my stillpoints, hallographs and isolation transformer). 

Why are these trolls so interested in our (high end) fuse users welfare?  

First off I must admit to being cynical about audiophile fuses but since both my amp and digital source manufacturers ( Decware and PS Audio) advocate the use of them I've taken the leap of faith and ordered Synergistic Research Black fuses for my amp, DAC and transport. I went one value higher for the amp ( 6.3 instead of 5) but stayed with 1 amp for the digital sources. The Cable Company said they would replace any blown fuses within 30 days so I should be safe. Hopefully I'll be as happy as so many here have been. 

Synergistic Research or Audio Magic power cords and conditioners are next, does this craziness ever end? ;)

Dear mac. How nice the company says it replace your blown fuse. And why shouldn't they? The profit margin is so "out of this world" that if they provide 1/2 dozen they're still basking in profit
Far more important  -  who's going to bear the expense of repairing your precious equipment if the fuse fails to late?? If production is sloppy enough to blow to early; my friend Reason says it's sloppy enough to blow to late. Where I'm from, when we see a grown man doing something foolish, we don't wish them good luck; instead simply,wise up.

ptss......I appreciate your concern but I would think if there was any danger of the fuses damaging the equipment neither Steve Deckert of Decware nor Paul McGowan of PS Audio would recommend them in their products. Maybe it's an elaborate scheme on their part to get me to  destroy my equipment so they can sell me more? ;)

Just curious, did Decware and PS Audio simply recommend the Synergistic brand in general, or did they specifically suggest you use a larger value fuse than originally chosen for the gear? 

That's how I read ptss's post. The ONLY reason to have a fuse in a piece of electrical equipment in the first place is for safety -- to protect the equipment from more damage than necessary if a component fails, and also for the safety of users. Fire and shock hazards are always a risk if the wrong component in an electrical device fails.
