Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Expectation bias gets a bad rap. 😃 There are many reasons why audiophiles sometimes get bad results with certain devices or tweaks especially the more controversial ones. One of the more controversial tweaks the Tice Clock was one of those controversial tweaks that inspired all sorts of comments and user results, not unlike the those we see with aftermarket fuses and such. In response to letter to Stereophile magazine from a disgruntled customer who was apparently not totally satisfied with his Tice Clock George Tice responded with a letter of his own to Stereophile in which he described the four reasons folks sometimes don't get the results they expected.  To whit,

1. There is one or more problems in the system used to test the device/tweak.

2. The customer's hearing or listening skills is not all that's it's cracked up to be.

3. There was a failure to follow instructions or to execute them properly.

4. The system used for the test is not sufficiently resolving to reveal the effects of the device or tweak.

ebm, you have tried them and they improved the sound of your excellent system?

I respect individuals that post on this forum regardless if you hear an improvement using the SR Black fuses or not.
What bothers me are the people that don't try the product and voice their opinion or the people that tried the product, did not hear a difference there for everyone else that heard a difference must be wrong.

I trust Wolf when he says he heard nothing. I don't have any doubts about his listening capability.

For the record so do I. If he heard no difference so be it. . I also trust the listening impressions of the multitude who report very positive findings, many who happen to be well seasoned members on audiogon. They represent every bit as much creditability without question.
