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 ...

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.

May I be so bold as to recommend Yann Martel's 'Life of Pi' as a reading assignment?
Assuming there are good soap operas, much of this thread is one depressingly horrible soap.

There are grown men -perhaps a mistaken assumption- calling each other stupid names over some damn expensive fuses and pseudo-science. Ad hominem, anonymous, childish attacks, based on what?

Full disclosure. I did try some SR fuses in my tube electronics. And, yes, they did make a modest improvement in reducing grain. BUT, due to some sort of electronic gremlins, three of these fuses blew. $450.00 worth. POOF! GONE!

It’s simply not worth it. And, of course, YMMV. But please, "gentlemen" stop the name-calling and hyperbole, aka total BS.

One last thought regarding the OP, who spoke of "wanting to commit rape and murder," I suggest you delete those comments from this public forum.

ps ...

I don’t doubt your experience with the fuses you tried.

On the other hand, I’ve been using after-market fuses for years now, and have yet (knock on wood) had one blow. Also, each incarnation of fuses improved the sound substantially over the ones they replaced. For the improvement they bring, considering their price, compared to many other tweaks that are marginal in any improvement they bring to the table, are a good value.

Full disclosure ... some on this forum are sorely lacking in a sense of humor.
