Fuses certainly provide sonic improvement. Funny how wine tasters can taste differences when the same wine is tasted in various shaped glasses and even different wine glass materials. I am a super taster and can taste differences others cannot. However, for some reason the sense of hearing throws some folks into near fits when some can hear differences they cannot. Actually, many anti-fusers have not even tried to listen? Strange indeed. Not sure why so narrow a mind when it comes to hearing.
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 ...

Friends - I have a new-ish PS Audio Signature preamp and 250 amp. In both of their user manuals the manufacturer suggests that the stock fuses be replaced "but we
recommend care be taken to use H-Rated fuses, specifically tailored for high current, high transient
in-rush conditions." My preference is to use Synergistic Research blue fuses. There are 250 and 500 slow-blow and fast-blow options of difference sizes. My question is, are they all H-rated? I can't find anything in Synergistic's online literature, so I'll ask you all. |
@ jimkiely- Personally; I’ve found the tech people and owners at PS Audio very accessible. You might ask them if they’ve any experience/concerns, with the Synergistic fuses. https://www.psaudio.com/contact/ |
