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 ...

  • "Frank, so what you are saying, if I am understanding correctly; you, as the listener, have moved back a few rows from the stage, and you are still hearing finer details in the musicianship......I would say that is pretty impressive."


Exactly. But, it is more than just an increase in finer details. There's more of a tactile presence to the whole picture. I credit a whole bunch of "tweaks" applied over the past three years that allow for this kind of information to be passed through the system.

The prototype fuses have brought the realism of the event a little closer to the listener yet. That's saying a lot when one considers how good the SR Blue fuses are/were on their own. Impressive, indeed.

uh...replacement cost maybe when a fuse does its real job and blows?

It's only money.   Who cares?
