Something For The Fuse Guys ...
There are fuses, and then, there are fuses.
I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago.
Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue.
The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs.
The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October.
Stay tuned ...

Well, this is refreshing. My thanks to whoever is responsible for reopening the thread. The three prototype fuses (SR Purple) are broken in now, and the system has never sounded better. Since the time that the thread was closed, I received another product to try out. This was a major improvement, and the fuses continued to stay out of the way of the music. What a midrange! |
So many fuse threads! I can't keep em all straight! Sad to say my QSA are still back-ordered. Between the price and the time (and the new Purple) my patience has run out. I just canceled and will be ordering Synergistic. Would've been nice to compare but for the price diff hard to believe they wouldn't have been going back. Even if Violet turned out better than Purple, hard to believe so much better to be worth the extra. |
Frank, How much time did it take the Synergistic purple fuses to break in ? I use orange in everything now but have ordered a purple for my amplifier as well for 2 Foundation Research pc/ conditioners that run to my Martin logans which makes a big difference soundwise from the logans. I look forward to getting them after reading your favorable comments. If I like what I hear I will do the pre and phono stage probably as well. |
simguy ... They sounded really good right out of the box. Much better than the SR Orange fuses they replaced. They continued to improve over about 50 hours or so. I think you'll like them a lot better than the SR Orange fuses, and that's saying a lot because as you know, the Orange fuses are not chopped liver. :-) Frank |
