FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords.


So I come across what I think is the next magic pill. "FUSES" Synergistic Research RED Quantum Fuse to be specific. Guaranteed to make a significant improvement in overall sound quality. Or a full refund. Gotta love that, total satisfaction. So, it's got my interest. Let's say one would like to challenge the promise. I have a Jolida tube amp (801) a Jolida JD9II phono pre and a Jolida glass tube DAC III. And I would like to try one fuse to start with. Which of the three components of my system would you recommend trying first?

Thanks in advance for any opinons.

Let’s see, how long has it been since aftermarket fuses first appeared on the scene? Twenty years. Gosh, it seems just like yesterday. Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away....It was 20 years ago today Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.....hahaha

"Mr. Pritchard, I'm truly sorry you feel that I became a cheapskate in trying a fuse upgrade that only cost $20. For your information, I'm a disabled veteran living on a fixed income, and personally would feel awfully guilty telling my beautiful wife that I spent $120 on a fuse for my amp."

It actually wasn't that long ago that rather than replace the six or so fuses in my system, which I could have done at that time since Isoclean and HiFi Tuning fuses had come out already had I a mind to, I simply reversed the stock fuses one a time, listening after each switcheroo, until they were all in the correct orientation.  Am I cheap or what?

Since nobody knows what quantum tunneling is what’s the difference? Lighten up, it’s only a hobby.

"I understand what you are saying David, but what annoys me is when they use terminologies such as "Quantum Tunneling" which is a quantum mechanics phenomenon, something I am familiar with and why they chose a term if it has nothing to do with their claimed process annoys me to no end."

Manufacturers sometimes choose terminology for their products that they hope will get a rise out of people and garner attention. It’s the nature of the business. With so much competition these days manufacturers are sometimes obliged to try to make their products stand out from the crowd. It’s called artistic license. Or marketing. What would you prefer they call their technique, Proton Tickling? This could be just a case of people being afraid that anything audio related with the word quantum in it must be some sort of con job. It wouldn’t be the first time.
