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 ...

Wolfie, let me ask you a direct question. Are you pretending to be dense or are you really that dense? Because if you’re pretending you’re doing an excellent job. It’s no wonder you keep asking the same question over and over again.
Yeah, right. I guess the 50,000 who had good luck with fuses don’t quite have the hearing you and Wolfie do. 🤗
People seem to be catching on to the fuse nonsense.
Got that right, especially the ****** that say ac mains fuses are directional.

Oh and once again for good measure.

The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse

Your better off spending $2 on a "new original fuse", and save hundreds.

Wow, all I have to do is say the magic words, thick as a brick, and George pops up. Am I psychic or what? I have explained many times right here on these forums why fuses and all wire are directional in AC circuits including the power cords. It’s not rocket science. Besides, are all cables and fuses in the audio system in AC circuits? Did I miss one? 🤗
