The secret to a great amplifier...


Is a $150 Orange fuse from Synergistic Research. Seriously, extreme boost in sonic performance. Blacker background, larger soundstage... if I wanted to make some bucks, I’d put these is cheap OEM compnents and start letting the accolades and purchasers come calling.

Mind you, I have a high value-oriented $20k system, so it was nice before, but damn!

  • Our fuse-less short-circuit protection circuit Sentry Monitor™ that disengages the output stage before current exceeds safe operating levels and then resets automatically when operating conditions return to normal

I would say these days, fuses in the output of amplifiers are not overly common. Some amps have them, but these are now the exception, not the rule.
If you want your system to sound better, start smoking pot or ingest some edibles.  It's legal in most states now and works wonders on my system.

Are you talking about the US? Pot is legal in just 15 states.
