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 ...

You beat me to it. But there are obvious reasons why some people will not or do not hear fuses. I actually think they psych themselves out. 😱
This is like a bad relationship. Some bring their baggage from past discussions (relationships) and ruin it for those who know better from actual experience.

Maybe there should be something like speed dating where once the discussion goes south, or when the timer mercifully chimes, move on until you find like minded individuals and leave those of the same mindset alone.

All the best,

I haven’t been wrong since 1977. How does it feel being a Human Pincushion? 😬
It is interesting to think that thousands of after-market fuses have been sold to perfectly satisfied (and sometimes astonished) customers, and yet there are those who still can't or won't hear the positive differences they make.  Could it be that they simply don't know what to listen for?
