Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Charles yes I do have a Black fuse installed in my preamp I mention it about 30 pages or  so back in this long thread lol. It was around a time I made a lot of quick changes to my system so I can't say any specific improvements from the fuse but my system started sounding better all around. A cumulative effect perhaps?

"The fuse element is made of zinc, copper, silver, aluminium, or alloys to provide stable and predictable characteristics. The fuse ideally would carry its rated current indefinitely, and melt quickly on a small excess. The element must not be damaged by minor harmless surges of current, and must not oxidise or change its behaviour after possibly years of service."

Spelling correction just for you Geoff

Re-read that last sentence: 
A fuse can age with inrush currents ect, I believe the fuse mongers are prying on that.

Just change your old fuse for the same 10c new one, instead of paying >$100 for a voodoo fuse, that can be a danger if overrated .

Cheers George

Obviously anyone 'touting' theses Synergistic Red Quantum (or black) fuses has never taken a look at all the wiring 'after the fuse' - within the device. If they did they'd see all sorts of wire connecting various items. No reputable manufactures I'm aware of,promote their products for the "directionality of the wiring".. That moots the point about the "value" of the fuse directionality. So I remain aligned with the Healthy Skeptic-wolf_garcia - when he says
" the promotion of a nonsensical, inexplicable, expensive and utterly useless fuse "upgrade" will garner my ire as long as this thread continues".
Others have had similar comments; thanks to common sense.

plutos ...

I changes the fuses one at a time just to be able to grade the improvement each one made. I started out with the amp thinking that it would affect the signal from everything that came before it. Second fuse went into the preamp ... third the phono stage. The CD player was last and took two rail fuses. Surprisingly, the Black fuses in the CD player was the biggest bang for the buck. After changing the fuses in the CD player, I remember commenting in this forum that I had no idea that red book CD
could sound so good. It continues to amaze. What was once a really good sounding CD player used mainly for convenience purposes has become my major listening source. Not that I don't like my vinyl rig better .... but digital in my system now is so close to sounding analog, its a joy to listen to. And then there's that remote control thingie ... :-)

Pretty sure the word you’re looking for is tripe.
