The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Op, just responding to you since you seem to be “calling me out”. I haven’t really been paying much attention to this thread. I take it from your response that your blue fuses were free to you, as a beta tester, although you did not actually say that. The answer was kind of vague, so that was just my impression, since you asked. I have no issue with that. Beta testers can be useful. That said, there is a phenomenon of a chef always liking his own soup. Glad you are enjoying your system. |
Actually, there’s more to it. I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it appears to be tit for tat. He gets the fuses and for that he posts his "impressions." That’s a little bit different story. That’s why I said a few days ago, he went beyond the call of duty. SR gave a fuse or two and got a hundred posts or whatever in return. Pretty good payoff. What he said, in response to the dbarger question, in case I’m not interpreting it properly, "....I was grateful for the opportunity (to be a Beta tester for the Blue Fuse). I reported what I heard IN MY SYSTEM ... nothing more and nothing less. Sometimes opportunity knocks at the door and its up to us to take advantage of it or not. One more thing dbarger .... I am also beta testing the "secret and elusive super tweak." We’re almost done and approaching a release date. Has nothing to do with SR .... and its fantastic. I’m on my third version of it and each version is better than the last. Looks like the third time is charm." |
dbarger ... Thanks for the response. I thought you may have fallen off of the end of the Earth. Glad to see you posting here again. :-) geoffkait ... With the exception of the Blue fuses, I've paid full retail + tax + shipping for all of my fuses. Had the Blue fuses been a step back in SQ I would have said so. I have no dog in the fight other than trying to obtain a better sounding system and reporting the results here. theaudiotweak ... Over the years I've had so many "audiophiles" tell me that after market IC's and PC's were nothing but snake oil. Most said that you just can't do better than Radio Shack wire or Monster Cable that one could buy at Home Depot. Then they started on the wall outlets. And then various room treatments. And now the fuses. Same-o, Same-o. Only the names have changed. Wolfie ... The improved perception of 3-D holographic imaging is the result of the lower noise floor afforded by the fuses. When I say "in the room," with good recordings, I mean exactly that. Again, if you're not getting that kind of imaging, there is work to be done. It goes way beyond the fuses though. Are you familiar with the Shatki Holographs? If so ... how do they do what they do? http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/shakti/hallograph.html I have four of them, each taking up one corner of the room. Take them out of the room and the sound stage collapses, along with the imaging, to the point that I wouldn't want to listen without them. I don't know how they work. Like the fuses, I don't care ... all I care about is that the DO work. Frank |
