Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax

Zipost,

I compared the SR  black fuses to Audio Horizon Platinum fuses in my PL Int amp, Hegel DAC, Oppo 95 and Olive 06HD music server. Each piece of equipment sounded smoother and fuller with AH fuses. The SR fuses were a bit brighter sounding which caused some fatigue during loud passages. The AH fuses cost the same as SR blacks and also have a 30 day trial. I would give a call to Joseph Chow at AH. He is very knowledgeable and easy to communicate. Whether you try AH fuses or the beeswax fuses it will satisfy your curiosity. Best wishes

BTW- I have nothing against SR since I own their cables, XOT, FEQ, and MIGS 2.0.

I installed12 of the Audio Magic SHD fuses in our system, I spoke with Jerry at length before trying one. They are very labor intensive to make, he told me sometimes has to make 2-3 to get 1 right. I don't care for the price either, however they deliver the goods big time.

Ronrags... i have the same perspect as you, i feel that the SR Black was kind of bright ( overly aggressive ) when the music was at a complex stage especially at high volume it was more than enough.   It was a noticeable difference on each equipment from stock to AR Black, made every pieces of my equipment i put in different.    The SR Red i had at first was a great fuse but the black was a tad better, especially in the highs and bass area.  I had them both in my equipment and a&b comparison.  But if it was on the thicker side, meatier type, it would have been perfect!  

Perfectpathtech...can you please elaborate more of your finding on the AM beeswax fuses.  The specs sounds great ( beeswax is genius) but i want to know what characteristics does it bring before and after installing these fuses.    Much appreciated!  

In my system they sound wonderful not bright great detail and great stage and great bass fuses are system dependent.

I must agree with ebm, fuses as are other audio accessories/components system dependent in terms of results. In my system the Synergistic Research Black fuses have contributed to a very natural sound character.  Definitely no issues with brightness.  I suspect that I'd be very happy with the Beeswax fuse as well based on owner feedback I've read.
