Ah thought to add my 10c --or in my case $200's (!)worth to this discussion-so I will get straight to the Nitty Gritty!
Firstly I am in the Fuses can make a positive point in a system, no not earth shattering but yes improvements, some subtle can be determined.
I've installed Hi Fi Tuning/ Isoclean/Furutech/AMR and foolishly last week I fell for the blurb about Synergistic Research--I purchase 2 of their "lauded" Fuses, both correct rated T versions for my Dac.
I changed the factory fuse for the "new" SR pushed the button--nix nada ??--removed SR fuse--blown-well measured dead as a door nail
WTF?? brand new correct type /etc!
Put factory identical rated fuse back in and powered up--fine all lights
on DAC goes to full operating mode--excellent.
But thinking it was just freak surge--and wanting to experience the SR Magic--I replaced the other spare SR and switched on
Poof--same B***dy episode-- this fuse blew also instantly .
I put the original factory one back all all fired up and ready for music--no problems.
So let this be a warning to those looking to buy Synergistic Research Fuses
Frankly don't bother!--I'd flush your dollars--in my case $200--straight down the Crapper.
They are Crap and deserve to go where Crap goes.
Give this SR mob a wide berth-- I've used Hi Fi Tuning and Furutech fuses successfully for 12 years they are genuine are deliver as promised.
Meh!
