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 no reason not to experiment with fuse types (other than you shouldn't expect the audio performance to change at all)

Just curious, pragmasi ... have you tried any of the after-market fuses in your system?

Talk about a loaded question! It’s easy to tell who’s who, their bents and biases, by their(typical) refusal to experiment/test/research and constant dissuasion of others, regarding any and all scientific method.     There are other stripes of naysayer(variables exist), but: the majority........

I've used many different fuses in many different designs but not the ones referenced here, I would remember if I'd spent $120 on a fuse. I don't wan't to spoil anyone's fun and if they have the money and want to give it a go and make their own decision that's great, just select the right ratings and take a few sensible precautions.
"I don’t wan’t to spoil anyone’s fun and if they have the money and want to give it a go and make their own decision that’s great, just select the right ratings and take a few sensible precautions."                                                                                                            Excellent perspective and doesn’t smack of the the preconceived notion, that everyone else is so inept as to electrocute themselves, or burn their house down.
