New Synergistic Master Fuse

No-one has mentioned whether it matters which way around you insert your fuses.

No-one has mentioned that your house supply contains other fuses and breakers, most of which are a lot bigger and thicker than those in your audio system.  What about them?

What about the fuse for the supply to your turntable?  Can this make a difference too.

What about the fuses for the supply to electrostatic speakers?

Do tell us!

This time and money-wasting exercise sure still has a long way to go.

These things have all been mentioned and discussed - but your purpose in these threads is not to participate earnestly, but to denigrate the product and those who enjoy them. Please stay out.

You hit the nail on the head.

That makes sense to me if you can afford to replace the amp. Do you re-solder the AC input receptacle to bypass the whole fuse receptacle? 

I feel like I'm about to turn to the dark side of the force.

I’m a bit curious as it sounds like these fuses are meant to be used in tandem with the less expensive but more "musical" Purple and Orange fuses. I can understand this, in a few components I found Purple to be absolutely tubby and midrange saturated. On the other hand, I have tried QSA fuses that were very high resolution and dynamics, but totally lacking in fullness, texture, and bass. I imagine these might be similar, pushing the envelope technically, but relying on other fuses to make the sound musical/listenable, and easy to overdo with more than one.

I’m less inclined to think of these as a cash grab than being stuck at a fork where they aren’t able to put all the attributes they want in a single fuse, but they can make an overpoweringly technical fuse specifically for upstream components.

As much as people complain, I’ve used 3k power cords that have an equivalent or lesser effect than an SR fuse. Unfortunately, I think QSA did realize this and cranked up their prices to closer match other power products.
