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.

@georgehifi, I respectfully disagree. Personal attacks should never be encouraged. You can take an opposing viewpoint, you can express that viewpoint against that which you oppose. But to personally attack, unprovoked, an individual because of his viewpoint should never be condoned. I'm not talking a lighthearted jab, or some witty back and forth banter, or generalizations. I'm talking petty insults,-no matter how cleverly veiled the poster perceives them to be-little digs, denigrations, etc...Although it's going to make these threads a lot less entertaining, it's the right thing to do. Unless, you know, the other guy is just beggin' for it....
geoffkait"OK, I’m going to got out on a limb here are guess that the fuse Uber Skeptics"

Kindly correct me in the event that I may be mistaken because English is not my native language but my understanding of the work "Skeptic" is that it is someone who has "doubt" but as we have seen here these people do not have "doubt" they have firmly decided without reservation that fuses do not matter even though many purchasers of such fuses have obviously decided for themselves to the contrary position. What is particularly of great interest in this matter is that the "Skeptics" have not actually tried the fuses that they oppose with such vociferous  attack which further supports my suggestion to the assembled group here that they are not "Skeptics" at all but denyers naysayers and disbelievers in the actual science of listening even though they claim to have science on they're side!

User "georgehifi" has decided he has the right to personally attack others hear because he believes we are stupid delusional and anti-science unlike him who has the facts to back up his deeply held religion so if that is offensive to you you will probably have to alert the Moderators which is something I will not do because it reveals that users such as "georgehifi" are in fact arguing from fantasy and pseudoscience and using bullying tactics to further their savior agenda.
