The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
@cleeds I was sort of wondering the same myself? If it is supposed to be a reference to somebody sending him a SR Blue fuse to try I cannot remember seeing him make that statement anywhere here? Now I remember Wolf saying that. And I remember George saying he would NEVER try a Blue fuse. Maybe I missed something? |
Yes agreed. I am confounded as to why folks don’t understand the importance of a fuse in terms of sound quality. Bypass one and listen as you will quickly understand it is a bottleneck. Why don’t these same folks argue that a similarly sized diode, IEC prong material etc.., also don’t make a difference? What about those small, thin wired resistors? They all make a difference. What about small value caps? Come on folks try for yourself. All these parts matter. What about those short binding posts? Short wire runs from a board to an amp’s output binding posts? You bet they matter and quality materials and design make a difference. |
grannyring I am confounded as to why folks don’t understand the importance of a fuse in terms of sound quality ... Come on folks try for yourself.They don't understand because they don't really want to understand or explore. That's become pretty obvious. And then there's the one poster who keeps dangling his apparent $25K hustle as an "opportunity." |
grannyring if I might propose an answer I would say knowledgeable people do in general understand the importance of a fuse and how it can affect sound quality. A fuse is a relatively simple device on the grand scale of things. They also tend to be very skeptical about way more expensive "audiophile" fuses that make sonic claims to justify the cost with little or no concrete information (other than individual opinions where favorable) to back them up. It’s that simple really. |
