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 ...

Amp manufacturers have too much to lose by being wrapped around the axle with a snake oil controversy. 🐍 If they are even aware of it which they probably aren’t. More than anyone else, amp designers are from the “good solid engineering principles” side of the street. They don’t need the hassle. The last thing in the world they want to do is get involved with the fancy fuse rumpus, or the power cord rumpus or the wire directionality 🔛 rumpus. They have too much on the line.
Gotta love it when vendors make "cheapskate" references, essentially resorting to name calling in a desperate attempt to create interest in a product. That says it all really, which is steer clear.

Had a pair of Odyssey amps, in house, for audition. Opened one up(with permission), to look at and test a couple things. Found Hi-Fi
Tuning Gold fuses(it’s been a while) in the rails.

Are you trying to say Odyssey come new with Gold tuning fuses?

If you look at all the Odyssey amps (Google images of internal shots) and there quite a few.
You will see they all from what I saw, just have 20c normal 3ag or 2ag rail fuses in them, on the board right next to the speaker RF filter coil

Wait a minute! maybe all the owners of those amps, threw out the "Gold Tuning Fuses" and put in the 20c ones instead because they were better!🤔

Please try copying and pasting ALL of Rodmans Statement instead of trying to be clever and failing miserably.

Cheers mate!
