Cred.......what you mean? We all know what you think . Do you really think I care about what is in your mind? Truth is truth. The only truth in audio is what you hear. You don't listen, so you don't know. You just go yama yama yama over and over again. Why do you post at all in the "voodoo" threads? Are you trying to save us from fuses and PPT and all things you don't like? Why do you care that we like these things and hear improvements with them? . Why don't you go to the moon and tell us if it is made of cheese or not. Certainly would be a better use of your time. You entertainment value is zilch....sort of like a fly buzzing around. Annoying at best.
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
New SR BLUE fuse thread ...
I’ve replaced all 5 of the SR BLACK fuses in my system with the new SR BLUE fuses. Cold, out of the box, the BLUE fuses stomped the fully broken-in SR BLACKS in a big way. As good as the SR BLACK fuses were/are, especially in comparison with the SR RED fuses, SR has found another break-through in fuses.
1. Musicality ... The system is totally seamless at this point. Its as if there is no system in the room, only a wall to wall, front to back and floor to ceiling music presentation with true to life tonality from the various instruments.
2. Extension ... I’ve seemed to gain about an octave in low bass response. This has the effect of putting more meat on the bones of the instruments. Highs are very extended, breathing new life into my magic percussion recordings. Vibes, chimes, bells, and triangles positioned in the rear of the orchestra all have improved. I’ve experienced no roll-off of the highs what so ever with the new BLUE fuses. Just a more relaxed natural presentation.
3. Dynamics ... This is a huge improvement over the BLACK fuses. Piano and vibes fans ... this is fantastic.
I have a Japanese audiophile CD of Flamenco music ... the foot stomps on the stage, the hand clapping and the castanets are present like never before. Want to hear natural sounding castanets? Get the BLUE fuses.
4. Mid range ... Ha! Put on your favorite Ben Webster album ... and a pair of adult diapers. Play Chris Connor singing "All About Ronnie," its to die for.
Quick .... someone here HAS to buy this double album. Its a bargain at this price. Audiophile sound, excellent performance by the one and only Chris Connor. Yes, its mono ... but so what? Its so good you won’t miss the stereo effects. If you’re the lucky person who scores this album, please post your results here.

Overall impressions:
Where the RED fuses took about 20 hours to sound their best, and the BLACK fuses took upwards of 200 hours of total break-in, the BLUE fuses sounded really good right out of the box ... and that’s without doing anything about proper directional positioning. Not that the BLUE fuses don’t need breaking in, they do. The improvement continues through week three. Its a gradual break-in thing where each listening session is better than the last.
Everything I described above continues to break new ground in my system as the fuses continue breaking in. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to tear myself away from the system in order to get things done. Its truly been transformed into a magical music machine. With the expenditure of $150.00 and a 30 day return policy there’s really nothing to lose. In my system, its like upgrading to a better pre amp, amp, CD player or phono stage. Highly recommended.
Kudos to Ted Denney and the entire staff at SR. Amazing stuff, guys. :-)

PS: If you try the SR BLUE fuses, please post your results here. Seems the naysayers, the Debbie Downers and Negative Nellie’s have hijacked the original RED fuse thread. A pox on their houses and their Pioneer receivers.

twodolphins ... Your experiments were with the SR-20 fuse. That is an antique in today's fuse world. When I toured the SR factory a year or so ago, the fuses being processed at the time were the SR Blue fuses. So, that means that from the time your SR-20 fuse was released, SR had subsequently developed the Black, the Red and then the Blue fuse that is the point of discussion in this thread. And now there's the new Orange fuse. I don't think anyone is "misunderstanding" you at all ... you're just seriously out of date. Frank |
There is no prohibition against using a stock fuse to build an aftermarket fuse. Let’s not get overly giddy here. Audio Magic uses a stock fuse to build their Ultimate Beeswax SHD Fuse 🐝- the current price leader at $225, as well as their previous Nano liquid family of fuses, which are all great fuses. I had an Audio Magic Nano fuse in my Woo Audio all-tube Headphone amp. Hey, there’s an idea for someone - a shootout between the SR Orange fuse and the Ultimate Beeswax! How do they get the beeswax 🐝 into the fuse without taking the thing apart? That, gentle readers, is a Government secret! You might as well ask how they get those miniature ships in a bottle. According to the “fuse page” on the website of The Cable Company there are only three count ‘em! Big Players now in the fancy fuse game - SR, Audio Magic and HiFi Tuning. However, any yahoo in town who hasn’t undergone a lobotomy can build his own audiophile grade fuse or improve the one he’s already got. It’s not really rocket science, folks. 🚀 The Cable Company Fuse page, https://www.thecableco.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Fuses |
jetter Geoff, really man, time to get some new material. You have lost it since Roberttcan came around and handed you your head, like you have tried to do with everyone else. Face it, time to change your spiel, 20 years of the same schtick on wire directionality, cryogenics and selling springs doesn’t impress any of us. >>>>>What can I say in my defense? I like being in the center of a controversy. 😬 What happened with roberttcan was when he lost arguments he got involved in here (not only with your humble narrator) he lost control of his emotions. 🥵 Then he resorted to name-calling. He demonstrated he doesn’t know the first thing about scientific evidence and proof, or even the scientific method. Like many “professional debunkers” he was adept at using logical fallacies whether intentionally or not. He’s so emotional! I can spot a pseudo-scientist on a mission before I see the whites of his eyes 👀 |
"There is no prohibition against using a stock fuse to build an aftermarket fuse."How come that manufacturers, those who make "stock" fuses, do not try to take a slice of this "fancy fuse" market? They probably know their fuses are used for it, they have credibility (they actually know how to make, not just "treat"), and they have machinery. They could design them from scratch and instead of "made for us" market it as "in-house research, design, and production". Profit margin seems to be higher. Why are they not doing it? Should we let them know? We may end up with much better fuses in the end. |
