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 will keep stirring....
My new SMc amps came with SR Blue fuses.  I could have had Orange but after some discussion it was thought the Blues would be more synergistic (pun intended) with my sonic preferences and the voicing of the amps.  They did have high respect for both the Orange and Blue fuses and said that maybe I should try the Orange sometime.  The amps sound great but I have no idea whether it has anything to do with fuses.
Just put the Orange fuse in my Lampi Amber 3 dac with nice sonic results. Stirring...
Buy cheap but functional receiver or integrated amp with speaker fuses on the circuit board ( very common )
