The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
A real DIYer could figure out how to inject beeswax into a fuse. His hard could it be? 🐝Excellent point Geoff. I have actually thought of this. Drill a small hole, use a small needle, heat up the beeswax, solder the hole closed, etc. etc...... I once made those carbon fiber CD mats using a hole punch and sheet carbon fiber. Exactly like what they were selling for over $100 each. There is no magic to this stuff.....possible exception of the Teleportation Tweak, Super Intelligent Chip, etc..... |
Eggs ackly! Graphene is not too difficult to make, everybody and his brother is making the stuff. And anti vibration and counter RF measures are a snap. And the violet pen trick for the end caps anyone can do. I’d protect the little bugger from magnetic fields, too. Better safe than sorry. I’d replace the stupid fuse holder with a silver one from Acme and send em both off to the cryo lab. I’d probably start off with one of those purdy gold and silver fuses from HiFi Tuning, you betcha! |
I respectfully wish to report the following: This afternoon I replaced the inexpensive ceramic fuse in the signal path of each of my mono tube amps, with SR20 1A’s. After about an hour of play, I changed the directionality of those fuses and listened for about 15 minutes- "hmmm," I thought, "something isn’t quite right." I then changed the direction of the fuses again, and the soundstage immediately was wider and deeper, with better separation between instruments. Source was Spotify premium, music by Fernando Sor (chamber pieces with guitar.) I am now a believer that with the SR20 fuses, at least, in my gear, directionality matters. Eventually I’ll compare them to the original fuses, as well as a pair of Schurter ceramic fuses that came in today’s mail after burning in the Schurters, and determining best direction for the four less expensive fuses More to follow.... |
Worthwhile to watch the 6:45-minute video: http://www.psaudio.com/askpaul/audiophile-fuses/ |
