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.

gdhal"That said, I remain ready, willing and able." If you are referring hear to a valid reliable repeatable scientific double-blind listening test that would be conducted in public and would not require the advance submission of personal information or agreement in full to terms established by your attorney I remain ready willing and able to prove in a double-blind test the clear, obvious and demonstrable differences in things such as cables and fuses that you have previously insisted do not exist in fact I have a business trip scheduled to the US this summer so this would be a very easy straightforward and manageable matter to arrange so just let us know if your serious or perhaps otherwise simply engaging in repeated concerted deliberate efforts to stir the pot. |
Here I go again. 🙄 clearthink - .....I remain ready willing and able to prove in a double-blind test the clear, obvious and demonstrable differences in things such as cables and fuses that you have previously insisted do not exist.... Be reminded that the previous back-and-forth we had concerning this subject matter is specific to you - as in you personally - being able to detect an audible difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed. It didn’t include the much broader category of differences between one particular brand and another, etc. I suspect you know that, but are choosing to "stir the pot" as you so eloquently wrote. clearthink - ....I have a business trip scheduled to the US this summer so this would be a very easy straightforward and manageable matter to arrange so just let us know if your serious .... No need to let **US** know. I’m letting **YOU** know. 🤑 EDIT: I'll work around your schedule. 🤑 |
gdhal"No need to let **US** know. I’m letting **YOU** know.
🤑" I have specifically been clearly requested by a confirmed bona fide Moderator of this forum group to refrain from providing you the private personal information your require in advance to conduct this test and I note for all the USD signs in your little smiley that continue to promote your listening challenge which I must respectfully decline to accept again at the specific request of the forums moderator. |
