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 ...

There's another conclusion ...

If you are thinking about upgrading your fuses, wait until at least mid-October. 

For those short of memory ... When the SR Blue fuses first came on the market, the same naysayers participating in this thread, (and others), wailed on about the fact that there were no warnings about the SR Blue fuses coming onto the market, and that (whine) just wasn't fair (whine again) to those who had just bought the SR Black fuses.

Well, consider this thread the heads up ... there's a new fuse (possibly) coming out, from a still-unnamed source, and at a still unstated price, that is better in every way from those fuses I've had the pleasure of using in the system prior to this date. 

In addition, there's one more conclusion. Put simply, those who can't hear the improved SQ that upgrading fuses can make to their audio systems just cannot hear, period. Either that, or their system and/or room needs a LOT of work.

Teo has been thinking about releasing a fuse design at a low price, for quite some time.*

*(Jimmie doesn't like it when you talk about him in the third person!)


I already posted how to make the perfect fuse. Probably a couple of times. It’s not really that difficult. At least not for me. Geez, you could even fill the darn thing with beeswax 🐝  if you could find a small enough drill.
Funny stuff. One thing about fusers, matters, gaters, and TC’ers ... we have a sense of humor.
