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.

Of all the tweaks in the system, TC was the biggest game changer.

My vinyl rig used to take most of my serious listening time. It was just superior to the CD playback I was getting. Not anymore. I probably listen to CD's about 90% of the time now.

Honestly, I had no idea how great Red-book CD's could sound. It keeps me interested in the hobby and wondering how much more information is to be had in those silver discs. I'm no longer buying equipment because I've reached the point where I'm very happy with the system as it now sits. I just buy more music.  :-)

The main benefit of the TC is how dramatically it lowers the noise floor. The SR Blue fuses do a nice job here, but the TC is the game changer. Once most of the electrical connections are pasted and allowed to "cure," the noise floor drops even further. That's what the four and eight week phenomenons are all about. It really has to be experienced to be believed.

>>>>>That’s kind of what I just got through saying. Hel-loo!
I did a lot of research (for all those people who tink I use a different name then you don’t know me. I would never do that. Only done by all those born losers. And you should never want to be one of them) in fuses in the last years. And mannn I love them. They can make a huge difference in a possitive way.

But....there is a big limitation. And this is the same limitation as be found in over 99% of all products in audio. And that is the fact that most products including fuses are incomplete.

This means on facts (and this has nothing to do with personal taste. What is one big F. nonsense believed by many, because it does not exist. I will esplain this later on facts again) that it misses essential parts of sound. And the rule is; what is missing will never be there.

In 2017 I recieved the Black fuse to test it for the company who sells it in my country. I understood directly why people love it. But after a month I also understood that it is incomplete as well compared to other fuses.

Audio is done by trial and error all over the world. This is audio without any kind of foundation at the level of a child. It is audio gambling and the results are very ineffective. And yess as promised I will teach you all that we are talking about facts which can be understood by all people overhere.

All the trial and error people (I call them children these days) are only able to focus on one of just a few of all the properties of sound. And make often changements in their trail and error systems based on one property of sound.

I can garantee you that they have no F.idea that there are properties missing. When I compared the Black when it was burned in with the fuses I use I directly could hear what was missing.

The fuses I use create a lot more depth and also more decay and space around voices and instruments. This is essential for different properties of sound.

When you want to guide and control you system there is only one way to understand it. And that is thinking and working by all the different properties of sound. There is no second way to understand and guide it. All other options are all different kind of trail and error. What lacks any kind of foundation.

When you want to understand audio you need to understand sound first. And second you need to learn how the human emotion works. And which parts our human emotions influences.

And you need to focus on all those parts which negatively influences both sound and stage. Most people who work in audio and who see it as their hobby all think that it is 1980.

It is 2018 and mannn it is impressive what is possible these days. In the last months I made new huge improvements in both sound and vision. That is why I was not here. I am an extreme focused person who needs al the rest in my head to create and develope new thought which are in my head.

I ordered the new Lumin X1 and will be one of the first who will own it. It will create many new ideas and options. I am addicted to both sound&vision. And this is my world since I was a child. And here I create things most people overhere can only dream of.

See ya all soon!!


So, do you make your own fuses?   Do you market your fuses?  If neither, what fuses are you using and why do you think they work/sound better?  Thanks
