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.

Sanity check. The score is 75,000 positive to 100 (tops) negative. Are all 75,000 delusional? Is this just about the biggest conspiracy ever?! This is even better than UFOs! 👽 I’m afraid what we have here are not real skeptics. These are obviously just some guys out to have some fun and trying to think up a bunch of crazy stuff that sounds cool. Also obvious, they primary reason they won’t ever roll their sleeves up and investigate things like fuses is they wouldn’t want to face the music and admit they were wrong. Not in public. 

What gets me is these totally non technical  "fusers" think they know more about what make an amp or dac work better or worse than the electronic engineers that designed and built the equipment they are using. And that these $150 fuses have some magical power that can't be measured. 
It's like them saying to the gullible potential fuse purchasers here, that they know better than the likes of Nelson Pass ect ect who designed the equipment.

Cheers George
@prof 

You should be applauded and commended. So please allow me to do just that.

In my opinion, your written responses are so compelling, that if those you have addressed your response to don't "get it" by now, trust me, they never will. 

Here is some more Bob Dylan for the fusers, as if my Amy > Bob test isn't compelling enough.

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Ifin' you don't know by now

One pseudo skeptic congratulating another. You don’t see that too often. 😛

Actually it is YOU and people like YOU who toss about this magic power fairy dust claims not the people who are not afraid to LISTEN to they're Music Reproduction Systems and REPORT they're results here even though they know that you are sure to pop up again and tell them they're insane or deluded or believe in the emperor's clothes fairy tail. I do sometimes wonder what it is exactly that people like you are afraid of I guess it is a bit like being a child and being afraid of the dark it is an unknown and it is there that your fear is so deeply rooted.
