What's going on with Synergistic Research fuses?

I think the idea of these threads is to contribute in some meaningful way,

@lemonhaze, fusers have nothing meaningful to contribute, it’s all snake oil and voodoo, or at least expectation bias on first hearing from spending $>160+ on a re-badged 50c fuse, they need to hear something, even if it’s in their delusional heads.

Here’s something meaningful since you asked

Do some maintenance on you equipment, clean the end caps up on your 50c fuse or re-new it if aged and looks nothing like the left hand one and starting to look like the others https://ibb.co/SQ9WJLn or https://ibb.co/HtnGV2p
And clean it’s fuse holder with proper "electronic contact cleaner" squeeze the fuse holder contacts together a bit more for added tension. And their will be the same expectation bias listening result.

@lemonhaze - Not to be contentious, but; Scientists couldn’t explain why Bumblebees could fly, with the Science (Physics) of the day.     Once Fluid Dynamics hit the scene; they figured it out.      I’d used that exact illustration, to explain the points we’re trying to make, here, years ago.      There are too many things in this universe, that WORK, whether we can explain them, hear them, like them, believe in them, or not.     ie:
From 09-22-2014 8:08am   :Another way of looking at it:   It was patently
obvious(providing they could see) to the earliest Aeronautical
Engineers, that Bumblebees could fly.     A problem existed,
however, in that early Science could not provide an
explanation as to how or why, let alone hovering.    
Understanding was limited to the principles of lift(per
Bernoulli).    Not until scientists began the recent study of
Fluid Dynamics, could they fathom how those small wings,
regardless of how fast they might flap, could possibly get
such a fat ass off the ground!    There are a plethora of things
audible to those that can hear and/or are willing to listen,
explanations notwithstanding.     Many things that we don’t know
how to quantify or explain(YET).

Try not to get into a war of words with Georgie. He's only here to add to the number of threads he can get closed down once they've become contentious. He's even boasted about it. He gets his kicks doing this sort of thing.

If you've noticed, he'll start out advising, and then when things don't go his way, he'll instantly turn on the people he pretended to help, insulting and denigrating them. It's his MO. 

All the best,

@spenav  100% agree. 

@lemonhaze  My amp manufacturer who has no tweaks in his home system didn't believe their is a difference either.  We experimented with new and old standard fuses and the SR blues.  He was shocked at the difference.  He went home and installed 5 amp circuit breakers instead of his fuses.  We compared amps with the blue fuses.  Virtually identical (couldn't tell the difference).  Like you, he designed the amp and if the NOS circuit breakers fail, he can rebuild them.   Maybe its the improved contact area or the size of the filament (8 amp SR blue needed for 5 amp fuse spec).

I have a friend who found that the SR blue fuse sounded slightly worse than the standard fuse in his pre-amp.  He doesn't know why.  It could be equipment dependent.  I will be trying his SR blue in the same backup pre-amp that I have and see if it makes a difference in my system.  

I am the beta tester for a cable manufacturer.  Cables sound different.  I've tested 100s of cables.
