NEW PROTOTYPE FUSES COMING >>>

I’ve been asked to evaluate/beta test some new fuses that will be coming out soon. I should have them as soon as this coming Saturday.

At this point:

1. I cannot reveal the name of the manufacturer of the fuses.
2. I do not know what the retail price will be.
3. I do not know what the name of the fuse will be.

For comparison purposes, I have a full complement of SR Orange fuses that can be used throughout the system. I have one QSA Yellow fuse now being used in my ARC-PH8 phono stage, with another one to arrive soon to be used in my ARC REF-75se.

I’ll be comparing the SR Orange fuses, and the QSA fuses, with the new prototype fuses. I’ll also be using the ears of three of my well-seasoned audiophile friends, as well as my own to make the evaluations. These guys are all truth-tellers that I have full confidence in.

According to the manufacturer, these new fuses are real game-changers, so stay tuned.

Hm ... that's strange. I have several tubes of TC left. I used it a little bit about a month ago and it is still viable. I haven't put it into the freezer as Tim suggested though. I've kept it at room temperature. Based upon what you wrote above, it appears that you never tried the TC. Is that correct?

So Krissy sent you four mats to compensate, and you heard no difference in the system while using the mats? I don't know what to say. The mats certainly work at my place, and in other systems, I know about. On the other hand, I know Ozzy put a couple of mats up for sale. Maybe he had the same experience as you. 

The reason I asked about magnets, is that I have a friend who has magnets everywhere, including in his speaker cables, his ICs, and his PCs. He's taken all of the PPT stuff out of his system because he claims they aren't compatible with magnets. 

If you are within driving distance, you're welcome to come over for a listening session. You'll discover that there's been no hyperbole coming from my keyboard. The system really does sound as good as described. 

Take care ...

Why does everyone assume that bypassing the the fuse is going to get the best sound possible? Whatever the audiophile fuses are doing, whether it is something that we currently understand and/or can measure, or not, why can’t it improve the sound beyond bypassing the fuse?

@mllercarbon do you have a link to these stones? I have a Blackhawk Mk3.1 too. Have you compared the stones to MiG 2.0s? My Blackhawk is also on an SR Tranquility Basik. Thanks.

Never tried MiG.

Don’t leave us in suspense, are there any prototype stones coming out soon that you will be beta testing?

Perhaps testing the sonic impact of different meteorites that have struck the earth and placed on electronics and perhaps speakers.

It will likely take some special rocks with some special treatments to beat the QSA offering.
