Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply.

Ozzy

I'll have to try the Master fuse.  My X1 is sitting on Arya RevOPod footers and sound pretty good.

I've heard mixed reviews about the value of the Westminster DC cable.  The fellow who sold me the X1 said that the Westminster was not a significant upgrade (and he sold it separately).  I guess that it depends on system synergy.

At present, I only have a Lumin T2, But I did upgrade to an SBooster power supply and after about a year I upgraded the stock fuse to a Synergistic Master fuse. I ran it for about 200 hours for break-in and then I flipped it the other direction. Then I heard the sound I was hoping for. The soundstage was much improved in both separation and depth. 

I am toying with upgrading to the X1. It will indeed get a Master fuse installed. 

The Synergistic Master fuse is directional, and it is not subtle. 50/50 shot and I installed it in the wrong direction in DAC. Destroyed my midrange.  Switched direction and wow. Highly recommend.  
 

No, I do not have a scientific explanation.  Sometime trial and error is the best approach. Ask the pharmaceutical companies. 

Thanks markalarsen,

I totally agree. It is hard to believe just a fuse can increases sound quality.

The AS umbilical was awesome, and definitely a step up. My apologies for being so late on this, as I do not post here often. Unfortunately, I cannot compare the AS umbilical to the WA one, I am very pleased with the AS though...

The reason I am here now, is that I am wondering (and inquiring) if a Swiss Digital Fuse Box would make any difference to the power supply of the Lumin X1.

Ozzy, please allow me to say that a fuse can make or break a system. I have the QSA Red/Black fuse and after break in? I was more than pleasantly surprised. Especially with the impact and percussion. Outstanding!

The SDFB....for the Lumin PS. Would you recommend or pass? (anyone is welcome to reply). Thanks.
