I trust my ears.

I'm looking forward to reading more real-world reviews on the SR Master Fuse.

THE BIG Ripoff!!

I have not tried SR fuses. Fuses do change the sound. I notice it when I replaced blown fuse.

@jayctoy 

myself I noticed the difference when I replaced amplifier fuse with at the time Hi Fi Tuning Black Fuse, so I tried Synergistic Research Orange Fuse it make some big difference in Middle and Low end.

I had Purple for a while in my integrated and DAC. It was interesting, but I ended up preferring the sound with it removed eventually; too much bloom and mid-bass emphasis. I could see these working for less musical systems though. I think this is honestly a cash grab and realizing that competition from QSA has proven there’s demand for higher priced fuses. I’ll try one in my DAC. Only thing I’ll lose is time, but for me it’s a fun process.

@cd45123,

I had the same experience. I put one in my custom Clayton Audio M-200 stereo amplifier. In the closest external spring loaded fuse holder to the IEC. Now it could just be that I did not give it the 50 to 300 hours needed to burn in. But after I took it out and replaced it with the ’regular’ fuse’ the ’Clayton Audio sound/voice’ was back. The funny thing is, I’m using all SR cable and it sounds fantastic without their own fuse! On my system, that is.
