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.

dwstudeman is calling audiophiles dopes if we believe fuses and directionality make an audible difference.

He didn't actually say that, but seeing you did. If the shoe fits wear it.

geofkkait >>>If that’s true I’m sure you can provide the post where I said it. If you can’t then one assumes you’re lying, probably out of desperation. 😫

Actually, I'll elect not to provide the specific link. My rationale is that you will merely delete it, the same way you delete some other posts of yours and then claim you have no delete functionality. Do you recall my bringing that to your attention?

In any case, better than 80 percent of your posts are fictitious. HINT: another forum member felt I was being to generous, and upped the percentage.

gdhal, I knew you couldn’t provide a post. Because it doesn’t exist. You’re just a big fat liar. 👨‍🚀 You know, it’s sometimes best to keep one’s trap shut and have people suspect you’re a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. 😎 And you’re giving psychedelics a bad name. 🤪

^As I've stated, 80 percent. And as I've also stated, you have a habit of deleting your own posts from time-to-time. Believe (or not) whatever you - Geoff - like. I'm confident that forum members who have been around here on Agon a while are already familiar with you (your posts) and can easily vouch for the fact that 80 percent (or more) of your posts are fictitious.

@gdhal - You’re lying again. Liar, liar, pants on fire! 🔥I have never, ever gone back and deleted a post from past history. I will on occasion delete a post immediately, you know, after giving it some more thought. Which is something I think you would benefit from considering. You know, thinking. And think it would probably be wise if you deleted most of your posts from past history as they reveal just how deluded you really are.
