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.

When someone keeps saying for each consecutive "snake oil" fuse addition, that the sound each time is so good it beggars belief, you’ve got to say to your self what did it sound like before all these magnificent changes if in fact there were any????

Cheers George

Ok if you must, forget the system and what it must of sounded like before all these awe inspiring fuse improvements one on top of another.
One can also ask, can this view of this person be believed. As these types of multiple magnificent improvements type statements for each consecutive fuse addition, beggars belief. And really questions the credibility aspect.

BTW this is the only thread, I frequent that is so toxic, all others there maybe disagreements, but they are quickly nullified, but not here.

I’ve seen threads shut down for far less angst between members than what going on here, I wonder why?? This one did get shut down a couple of days ago, but it’s the first one I’ve seen reopened??

Cheers George

If you find it so toxic you are more than welcome to push that little button labelled "unfollow discussion"......

Could well coincide with a significant reduction in toxicity levels.......

Doubt that very much as it’s growing.
And good for those and the new ones trying to keep it honest for the few non technical that may get burnt paying $150 for a $2 fuse.

Could it be that no one here is bending to your will (such as it is)?
Does nullified means agreeing with you?
I ask because it's not going to happen. 

All the best,

No proven one way other the other, but here nothing is accepted from an Electronic engineering view point by the fusers, even though every part of the equipment is designed and tested using electronic laws and ee maths.
You fusers think you know better. But you have nothing but your expectation bias to go with and no cred as even SR won't back you.
