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!

Those fuses are not going for a buck or two and are way more than the $.50 ones you rant about. They aren't even made of the same material, being of a higher quality as well. The very ones on that page show it to be the case and not how you portray it. 

All the best,

50c or $1 or $2 it’s a metaphor sunshine, they all do the same job, and is a massive difference compared to $160 for an SR Orange which does the same job, only the gullible think otherwise.
Give it a rest, or "you’ll blow a poofel valve"😬

What part of the term "Alternating Current" do most directional fuse people people not understand?  Yes, replacing fuses chip away at the corrosion on the terminals, no matter what you replace them with..

I hear that certain posters think whenever a fuse is mentioned anywhere that the "schills" ( their words not mine) dash out to pray at the altar of fuse gods.

I would opine it is exactly the opposite

The fuse naysayers of which we know the names always seem to be the first responders to any fuse mention like they have to try and heal the afflicted poor souls who have inadvertently fallen prey to the great gods of fuses.

Give me a freaking break jack!

We are all adults here and are quite capable of deciding what and where to spend our money.

The naysayers dont like it thats fine, keep your pennies in your pockets, you are happy and so is everybody else until they start spouting poison for which there is no need whatsoever.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Only the gullible would fall for Georgie's slide show. He's been copying and pasting that for years as if it means something.

He's never heard a difference because he really can't hear all that well and is predisposed to not hearing small differences that are there, writing them off as insignificant and not worth the worry.

He's also fond of citing specs on products that others have tried and not found to sound all that good, and tells folk to go out and buy it because of, specs. 

That should tell you everything you need to know.

All the best,
