Graphene in fuses and cost

geoffkait:

I doubt Synergistic is under any obligation to either divulge how they accomplish their treatment or how it works. not by Consumer Reports, not by Better Business Bureau, not by the Feds. Although I seem to recall SR did offer some sort of explanation somewhere for what r Tesla Coil does to wire and fuses. But no manufacturer is under any obligation to divulge anything, in terms of operational mechanism or any such thing. It’s actually one super good reason not (rpt not) to obtain a parent, you know, so one doesn’t have to reveal all the gory details. It nice to be able to control some of one’s intellectual property. Now, if an individual or independent third party tester wishes to test something I they’re free to do so. Knock yourselves out! Ironically perhaps, this never happens with these unusual, sometimes preposterous, controversial tweaks like aftermarket fuses, whether of the beeswax variety or Graphene or Tesla Coil.

You’re going to make the orphans cry! 😢😜😂 🍻

"The more important question - to which you would know the answer, as you have had a head start on me with the Blues - is: how long did you find they need to break in? The earlier ones seemed to take quite a while of steady playing. Does that trend continue with the Blue?"

If YOU had been reading MY posts you would have seen me say I don't believe it’s possible, under ordinary circumstances, for anyone (rpt anyone) to ascertain what the break in period is for anything, including fuses. To summarize what I posted on the subject previously there are way too many *variables* and *uncertainties* involved including but not limited to time of day, day of week, how many thing the person does to his system in the meantime, both international and unintentional and the person’s general hearing acuity to be able to track the progress of break in and establish when break in is complete. In addition most audiophiles are continually breaking in multiple cables, fuses, whatever. Have you noticed how many people have 4 fuses, or 6 fuses, or 12 fuses? Most folk buy one to see how they like it then but more as they can afford it. Fuses are constantly breaking in! 

Compared to the SR Black fuses, the Blue fuses seem to be broken in right out of the box. Not true of course.  The break in seems to be subtle compared to the Black fuses. The Blacks took a few backward steps during break in ... while the Blues just take a steady pathway to improvement. Each listening session seems to be better than the last.

Ordered a SR Blue yesterday for the Torus sub driver to replace the Buss general purpose fuse that is currently installed. Replaced a similar fuse in a new (for me) Audio Note Soro integrated with an SR Black about 6 months ago. Very pleased with the results.
