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!

A curious audiphile may want to peal the sticker on his SR (or other "audiophile" fuse). Then look for the same fuse on Amazon. You'll be surprised to found that it cost 4$ and was made in Russia. An instructive video about fuses here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHl7Dsln19Q

millercarbon...just when I was going back you on the SR fuses (they do make a difference) you have to go and show your a.. by insulting not only someone's knowledge of audio, but also their ignorance of alcohol. It was completely uncalled for, but your base will jump to your defense. Where is the outrage? When someone says something that is considered insulting towards millercarbon the base attacks them. But when millercarbon insults someone little is said. It's like some people treat him like a senile old man. Be nice to him, he's not all there.

The same negative class of naysayers jumps readily to the bait, spouting the same worn-out bromides every time after-market fuses are brought up in these forums. 

Having gone through complete sets of SR fuses ... the Reds, the Blacks, the Blues, and now for the past year or so, the Orange fuses, I can say unequivocally that each step along the way has brought new levels of resolution, improved realism, and a more relaxed presentation to my system. 

Mezcal. Is that the bottle with the worm in it?
