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 ...

Hey, it’s a hobby. Get over it! People chose what they want to believe.

As for your snippy remark re metal cryo I was one of the very first to use cryo for metal and other materials processing way back when you were wearing bell bottoms, Mr. Smarty Pants 👖

For the record, I have never ever worn bell bottoms. I am old, I am not that old. Yes I am aware that cryo treatment was and is used heavily in space/aerospace .... and of course you were one of the first 332 :-)

Yet another first hand experience of the fact that changing the direction of the fuse does indeed change the sound. Just finished burning in a Furutech fuse in my DIY burner and placed it in my Clayton Audio S40 amplifier.  No doubt the sound, bass being the most obvious, improved in one direction vs the other.  Most obvious and no ear straining needed.

roberttcanT"this document may appear detailed, authoritative and informative. To someone skilled in the art, it is amateurish and flawed... That is not at all a justification for no pictures or no equipment list...With every report is a picture of the test setup AND and equipment list."

I understand you're wish, desire, and preference for pretty pictures but for educated, informed, literate readers such pictures are just a nuisance that get's in the way of analyzing, assessing, and verifying actual data.

The report does not include all of the background information because that is consistent from study to study and is otherwise available there is no need to report it individually for each study what is obvious here is that once someone comes out with actual data you shoot it down but you have no data yourself to supplant it even though you claim to have actual done extensive research and studies to support the millions of electronic devices you claim to have manufactured.
