Thecarpathian, a sincere thank you.
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 ...
Frank

That sucks Jetter. Sorry to hear. Had to put one of my Savannah cats down a few months ago, not a nice vet visit at all. Call me soft and daft I do not care but when the vet handled back Tai, wrapped in the blanket I brought him in so I could take him home to bury, it was hard to walk out without breaking down. |
Talking about fuse directionality, Hifi Tuning has a logo with a diode symbol in it. At some point people began believing this diode-arrow was the factory tested recommended direction of the fuse. But it was not, it is just a logo. Personally I do hear a difference in a direction, but I also believe it diminishes after some power on. |
HiFi Tuning started off claiming that fuses break in correctly no matter which way they were first inserted. But later, about the time they had an independent testing company look into directionality of fuses, they changed their tune, as it were, after the results of the testing, including listening tests, was completed.The results of the tests appear on the HiFi Tuning website as the so called Data Sheets, which shows measurements of voltage drop across various fuses, both directions, including HiFi Tuning fuses, with and without Fuses were tested in both DC and AC circuits. http://www.hifi-tuning.com/pdf/wlfr.eng.pdf |
