Synergistic Red Fuse ...

This is wonderful timing for me. My Mother's type 45 tube amp lost a channel recently and I have not been able to get hold of the builder Fred Voltz of Emotive Audio to diagnose the problem. Thank goodness for the spare 300B tube amp that got installed the next day. Charles1dad to thank for inspiring me to have one handy. But a problem arose that the on off switch is in the back of the amp. Reaching behind a hot tubed amp to turn it off is a burned arm waiting to happen. Get frustrated - NO. Instead I now have a reason to get a Pass Labs First Watt F7 Amp. It is a leave it on all the time amplifier. Nelson Pass designed this 14 watt amp for the SET type audio systems. And it is designed to be left on all the time.

The amp already  sounds wonderful with the 100 db efficient Teresonic speakers. It has a ordinary spiral wound fuse. It is going to be fun to compare the ordinary fuse with the Synergistic Blue fuse- and of course in both directions.  

Remember that Samsung is spending Three Billion dollars this year alone on Graphene research. I would hope the rate of product improvement accelerates rather than slows.

Synergistic Research launched the Black Fuse two years ago and since that time we have been working to build a *much* better fuse that outperforms all other fuses on the market regardless of cost, and without establishing a new highest priced fuse on the market- currently there are fuses that are far more expensive with less performance than our new Blue fuse. Our breakthrough came last month and we are now launching the Blue fuse in time for RMAF. In no way does the existence of the new Blue fuse take away from the performance of the Black fuse which is every bit as good today as it was when it was when first launched two years ago.

SR is a technology company and unlike many other brands that offer ’new’ products that are little more than a rebadge of existing products, we actually work to perfect our technologies over time. This is why our product cycles typically run between 2 to 5 years -or- longer between major advancements; far longer than most other leading high end accessory and cable manufacturers. If this is a problem, there are companies whose products are as obsolete today as they were last year, and will be next year, and the year after that ;)

Well hopefully you will have a new breakthrough next month so I can get the Purple one LOL :P

For those that are upset about the *new* Blue fuse, and feel cheated for buying the Black fuse.....look at the title of this thread:

"Synergistic Red Fuse"

Yes, there was a Red before the Black, and now a Blue after the Black. I'm sure in the next 10 years we will see a multitude of more colors from SR.

So what? What manufacturer doesn't release new models?

If this offends you, buy a pair of Klipschorns and relax knowing that nothing will ever change. ;)

Personally, I'm good with the Black, I have no urge to "upgrade" to the Blue.
Maybe one day if I blow a fuse...Hahahahaha

My $25 PADIS fuses are already blue and as great as they sound, I'll pass on the SRs. 👍
