All part of their new diversity and inclusion plan...Pink is now no longer a marginalized fuse.

Fuses make a difference, Donavabdear said no fuse is better than a fuse. I wonder about that. I have bypassed fuses and have been shocked by how much better my system sounded. Fuller bass, expanded sound stage to name a couple, but I wonder if the Synergistic fuses don't also perhaps bring some subtle filtering into the system all the while somehow increasing current flow. If you can't hear a difference in either wires nor fuses, you are truly blessed. The money you will save will be significant! Ignorance is bliss!

I blew a couple of hifi fuses (ouch!) because I didn’t get slo blo. Rookie mistake. So I cut them apart to see what’s inside. It was a thin wire between two end caps. A piece of teflon tubing was shrouding the filament inside a ceramic tube. It seems other types of hifi fuses use mineral fill around the filament. And maybe some silver plated end caps for a good connection. Looks like a labor intensive assembly process hence the high cost. My theory is they find some way to dampen the thin wire from mechanical vibrations. The wire itself is maybe high grade OCC copper plated with silver and is directional- just like certain cables. The good news is, hifi fuses will blow if overloaded. |
I have (and swear by) SR fuses. I currently use Purples and Oranges in almost all my components. I've not heard the new Pink one, though. That being said, I would imagine the higher end your equipment, the better match the more expensive models of fuse would be. @captaindidactic , I agree. Ignorance is bliss.
