SR Blue Fuses


I just wanted to share my excitement with my SR Blue Fuses. I installed 3 in my Anthem I225. Its been probably 100 hours of burn in time now and I really am beside myself in the difference. The bass is really full, my highs are nicely extended and my soundstage is huge. Just today, my soundstage became ridiculous.
If you are happy with your current amplifier / preamplifier and intend on keeping it for awhile I highly recommend replacing the fuses with SR Blue fuses, if not the Orange fuses. I got my Blues for 30% off. It is quite possibly the best tweak I have done aside from room treatments.

It takes awhile to burn the fuses in but once they are, it’s pretty awesome the difference they make. I was pretty skeptical about this mod and thought it was a lot to spend but now that I have, it was the best $400 mod I have done. It made more of a difference than my upgraded power cords and actually probably made a more of a difference than going from my signal cable silver res speaker cables to my ap solo crystals.

Highly recommended if you already love your amp/preamp and intend to keep them for awhile!

So what is the deal? Is there some sort of super conductive stuff on/in these fuses? What makes them so good. I use ACMEs with graphene and a few other paste concoctions, I've whipped up.
I also polish the heck out of the contact areas and clean clean clean, before application.

I've never heard a difference, but I was doing it as a preventative, measure, nothing else.

DIY concoctions sometimes work, sometimes don't. Every once in a while DIY concoctions work as well or better than professional products. Not often however. Usually because the pros keep at it trying a thousand times more than you. That for sure is what Ted does. If you try a Blue or Orange Fuse I will be surprised if you don't hear a huge improvement. 

As to "what is the deal", there's the theory, the marketing story, and the results. Two completely different things. The theory and marketing story can be fake as all get out, all that means is we don't understand something. Or the guy who does understand something doesn't want to give his secret away. Either one could be true. All we know for sure is how it sounds. These things sound great! 

The theory and marketing are that running extreme high voltage with a Tesla coil, what he calls quantum tunneling, improves the conductor somehow. Then he slaps a dab of some magic gray goo on there. This is probably key because he says Do Not Remove the gray goo. Also there's TC which is also gray goo and a dab of that will produce similar effects as an Orange Fuse. Ted uses the same gray goo on his Blue and Orange outlets. Same Quantum Tunneling. So there's at least a couple things going on there. 

ECT and HFT work on a different principle, dither. I've x-rayed all this stuff and can tell you there's definitely things going on in there. Does not sound like snake oil. Does not look like snake oil. Sounds and looks like ingenious technology.

I heard a difference I liked when putting a SR Blue fuse into my PrimaLuna integrated. I got more detail but mostly more "ease" to the presentation. The fuse was worth the money to me. I find it very difficult to hear any "differences" from power cord swap outs so I'm lucky I don't need to spend serious money in that area.

And here we go, wondered when the "SR snake oil" band wagon would start a rolling again
Substitute "naysayer" for "SR band wagon" and you'll see a perfect example of projection. The very first response left no doubt about wondering when it would happen.

All the best,

As various knowledgeable folks here have suggested when the topic comes up over the years, it’s a no-brainer for anyone to first try to just reseat the existing fuse or if need be replaced first try a new good quality standard issue fuse like Littlefuse or others that will not set you back much to try before dropping big bucks on anything else. Then if you hear a difference you can more reliably associate it with the reason.

I’ve reseated or replaced many fuses for myself or others....that alone can make the difference.
