Surprised by Synergistic Red Fuse on Source for 99

OP-

not difficult to understand. We all know that these hi-fi companies (most) will cut every corner and place junk parts in our gear. This is the impetus for better, aftermarket, parts and supplies. Very cool projects going on out there by modders/DIYs, happy listening.

I must say I found the RED fuse more of an improvement then the Cardas Caps. Not that the Caps did not help.

We all have different systems and environments but not in my system. Most obvious improvements are any glare are eliminated, smoother mid/high and easier to decipher lyrics in complex passages.

One example is Mary Chopin Carpenter, Time Sex Love. Heard it on many EXPENSIVE system. It's a horrible recording, harsh and glaring. After installing the caps, glare was gone and no harshness. I guess it was cause by noise?

I bought caps for every component, amp, pre and dac. Cardas RCA non shorting pin, Cardas XLR output caps and AQ XLR input caps with no shorting pin. I use copper sheet to cover connectors that don't have caps. ie USB, I2S ...

I have the same player. Which fuse did you replace? Thanks.

Got the red fuses put them in my Von Gaylord nirvana amps and what a difference as Hifial said from top to bottom . My wife even notice the difference
