The non believer of a blue fuse if they win could sell the device and buy a heaping pile of sorbothane so to muffle the life out of any device in their audio system..the darker the better ..more bass cause the highs are killed. Just like an unnatural disaster.Tom
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
New SR BLUE fuse thread ...
I’ve replaced all 5 of the SR BLACK fuses in my system with the new SR BLUE fuses. Cold, out of the box, the BLUE fuses stomped the fully broken-in SR BLACKS in a big way. As good as the SR BLACK fuses were/are, especially in comparison with the SR RED fuses, SR has found another break-through in fuses.
1. Musicality ... The system is totally seamless at this point. Its as if there is no system in the room, only a wall to wall, front to back and floor to ceiling music presentation with true to life tonality from the various instruments.
2. Extension ... I’ve seemed to gain about an octave in low bass response. This has the effect of putting more meat on the bones of the instruments. Highs are very extended, breathing new life into my magic percussion recordings. Vibes, chimes, bells, and triangles positioned in the rear of the orchestra all have improved. I’ve experienced no roll-off of the highs what so ever with the new BLUE fuses. Just a more relaxed natural presentation.
3. Dynamics ... This is a huge improvement over the BLACK fuses. Piano and vibes fans ... this is fantastic.
I have a Japanese audiophile CD of Flamenco music ... the foot stomps on the stage, the hand clapping and the castanets are present like never before. Want to hear natural sounding castanets? Get the BLUE fuses.
4. Mid range ... Ha! Put on your favorite Ben Webster album ... and a pair of adult diapers. Play Chris Connor singing "All About Ronnie," its to die for.
Quick .... someone here HAS to buy this double album. Its a bargain at this price. Audiophile sound, excellent performance by the one and only Chris Connor. Yes, its mono ... but so what? Its so good you won’t miss the stereo effects. If you’re the lucky person who scores this album, please post your results here.

Overall impressions:
Where the RED fuses took about 20 hours to sound their best, and the BLACK fuses took upwards of 200 hours of total break-in, the BLUE fuses sounded really good right out of the box ... and that’s without doing anything about proper directional positioning. Not that the BLUE fuses don’t need breaking in, they do. The improvement continues through week three. Its a gradual break-in thing where each listening session is better than the last.
Everything I described above continues to break new ground in my system as the fuses continue breaking in. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to tear myself away from the system in order to get things done. Its truly been transformed into a magical music machine. With the expenditure of $150.00 and a 30 day return policy there’s really nothing to lose. In my system, its like upgrading to a better pre amp, amp, CD player or phono stage. Highly recommended.
Kudos to Ted Denney and the entire staff at SR. Amazing stuff, guys. :-)

PS: If you try the SR BLUE fuses, please post your results here. Seems the naysayers, the Debbie Downers and Negative Nellie’s have hijacked the original RED fuse thread. A pox on their houses and their Pioneer receivers.

@lostbears But only for those who can hear such differences. We apparently have quite a few folks frequenting this forum who can’t.😔 I don’t see how one would actually know if or how much of a difference a Blue fuse will make until one actually tries one. There does seem to be a lot of trolls these days. Not just on Audiogon. |
I just found the EAR Classic CD player review and comments on Stereophile. What do you know, old troll Georgehifi was at it there, stating that the CD layer in an SACD is inferior to a purely CD layer CD. Plus other snide comments resulted in an avalanche of negative comments about a superb sounding player whose first audition was of a defective unit played incorrectly (full open volume pot rather than at 2 o'clock). The subsequent review of a correctly functioning player resulted in a rave review (with the reviewer vague as to what he meant as playing at a volume lower). No new comments after that very positive review. |
" Faulty equipment sent to Stereophile for test???????Submitted by georgehifi on February 4, 2017 - 2:44pm This does not sit well for me, as a good Stereophile review is the No 1 review a manufacturer can get to open the retail flood gates. Hell I would have been devastated (and broke) if Sam Tellig didn't give my product a great review, I hung on every word of the review more so than the birth of my son. To send to Stereophile some thing that has been around the world without double /tripple checking it first and making sure it's even better than a retail one, means the manufacturer doesn't give a s**t about how the review turns out, to which I highly doubt. Like I said it doesn't sit well for me, as I've seen so many times with a bad reviews, the manufacturers comments saying it was faulty we'll send another one. REALLY!!!! Cheers George" Note his comments concerning approval by Sam Tellig or economic loss. What product did he sell to Tellig? As good as an SR Blue fuse, Hallograph or maybe a EAR Classic CD player? |
