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 recently bought the New Synergistic 
Orange fuse and as good as the blue 
fuse was this defines the performance even better. These SQ fuses what 
is the brand, and what is differen5 about them, and most importantly 
how much do they cost ?
there's no reason why a fuse should be costing $150+ . Hifi tuning supreme fuses are $75 that sounds much more 
reasonable  and still night and day better sounding then the noisy resistance bottleneck stock steel fuses.

If so, someone should tell them we’re all a bunch of heretics, science be damned, and their charms, their wit, their animosity, and their vast catalogue of knowledge has no chance with the likes of us.


Just sayin, kinda thing:

Engineering and science are absolutely not the same thing.

This forum deals with science in most cases, as we deal with the exploration of the undefined and noted phenomena. Yes, that is science, if logic rigor is utilized in the act of exploring phenomena. The logic pattern, method, components thereof, etc... can take time to show itself, re the given issue at hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Engineering is for AFTER science, where engineering is used in a dogmatic manner to build things from established methodologies.

The two can and do intermix but the fundamental has to be known and noted at all times, otherwise we get the Spanish inquisition from an engineering minded person..... for an act that involves science and exploration.

Talking about science is not science. Anybody can do it.

Engineering applies science to make things that work. Relatively few can do that.

Products based solely on talking about science are based solely on conjecture.

Just saying.   People have to make their buying decisions based on something.

I’d opine we actually don’t talk much about engineering, how to make things. What we mostly talk about is how things work, which is PHYSICS, either applied physics or theoretical physics. I include electronics in this category. Much discussion is related to how CDs work, how fuses work, cables, tweaks, what is the audio signal, etc. Things of that nature. Is it still OK base buying decisions on how things sound? 😳
