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 ...

My attorney friend is in Vermont...he must have assumed little Tim was also...oh well...
I’m listening to a pair of $600 active speakers with 4 built in amps, dac, DSP and all built in via iPhone and Spotify as I type and thinking even with a wireless Bluetooth connection this stuff need not cost a fortune anymore these days if the vendor just knows what to do with modern technology.
Hi Frank,  I'm glad to hear that the new Orange fuse sounds better than a broken in Blue fuse immediately.  The Blue fuse sounded better than a broken in Black fuse immediately.  The Black fuse sounded like drek from hours 15 to 72 and I hated keeping my big tube amps on for 3 days to get good sound.   I will probably try the new relatively inexpensive tweak which has such a positive sound improvement with my amps (so easy on mine).  The duplex change from Black to Blue was not as nice.  The Blue sounded bright and hard compared to the Black.  It took almost a week until it broke in and sounded better than the Black in all respects.  The fuse improvement was more significant so the Orange fuse is the way to go.  Robert didn't like the Stop-its initially and now we know why, they were uncured.  I think I'll try Stop-its too.

The uncured "Stop It" receptacle plugs sounded really bad. Lost most of the mid-bass and some of the lower bass. They finally came around at about three weeks.  The cured ones that you'll be receiving will make a nice improvement to your system right off the bat. If you can, order enough to insert into every unused outlet in the entire house. 

The Orange fuses will give those Legacy Focus' of yours a new level of bass. Also, more realistic sound. Wait until you hear the violin and piano. 

By the way, my invitation is still open to you at any time.

I'd love for you to hear what the Signature IIIs are doing now. Legacy speakers, at least the ones I'm familiar with, perform way beyond their price point.  I think the Signature IIIs are becoming somewhat of a cult item. 

Come on up ...

Is this for real or are you taking the piss?
Or is Stop-it’s, another new SR product you insert in your ear to get you sane again from the voodoo fuses insemination infection?
And no I couldn’t be bothered to see if Stop-it’s is actually some to purchase to make audio better.

And give the SR Orange fuses voodoo a rest, you have your other thread closed, you now want this done too?
