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 ...

It has to be O.C.D. Nothing else can explain it.

Maybe it is just his refusal to take the meds.

It’s a counter measure, to BS on $150 mains fuses.

I urge those here to use it and pass it on and post it up, every time BS is presented on the sound of AC mains fuses and their installed direction
@analogluvr roberttcan pass this on

If you don’t want to blow $150
Change your old crusty fuses that may have seen too many turn on cycles (pics attached), then do it with the same $1 fuse, not the BS $150 SR boutique ones, as they will sound the same and age just as fast.

I'd like to post this link to a PS Audio experience which surprised them,   https://www.psaudio.com/pauls-posts/fuses/      They had no expectation bias, just the opposite, that a fuse wouldn't affect the sound. But introducing fuses in the output of an amp in the production stage stuffed it's sonics, working backward they identified the newly added fuses as the cause, fuses matter.
