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 ...

Geoff, you are learning...I am glad you agree that any differences in sound likely result from the improved contact achieved by removing the replacing the fuses, and not something silly like minuscule differences in directional resistance....🤔

>>>>>Geez, Louise! That makes absolutely no sense. No matter how many times you take the fuse out and reinsert it in the opposite direction the sound will always be better when the fuse is in the correct direction. It’s predictable and it’s repeatable and transferable. You’ve heard of the scientific method, right? The fuse holder has nothing to do with it. Hel-loo! It’s just another example of silly non-believers grasping at straws. No offense to you or my pal, Al. Hey, that Rhymes! 😬

GK repeat the same things a few hundred more times. Maybe people will learn.

While at it show your references that support all the conjecture and maybe they will also care.

It’s ironic that such a comment would come from someone who’s the poster boy for audiophiles stuck in the 80s. Some folks don’t learn no matter how many times I repeat it. A little bit of a re-tar-da-shun, I suspect. No biggie.

if you don’t learn from history you’re bound to make the same mistakes again. - Old audiophile axiom

Oregon...Can you give us a date when you think you can reveal this prototype fuse?
