I’m getting a strong feeling it was very wise of me to hop off the house AC when I did. No fuse must certainly be better than ANY high end fuse, I don’t care what anybody says. Does that make me a refusenik? 😳
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
There are fuses, and then, there are fuses.
I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago.
Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue.
The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs.
The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October.
Stay tuned ...

mkgus There are no dumb questions. Not all audio equipment have fuses. Most do. The fuses mentioned above protect the circuit in case of a surge or a short. They are in the signal path, and the after-market fuses sound better than the stock fuses, some more-so than others. Read the Blue Fuse thread.
