Graphene in fuses and cost

"The more important question - to which you would know the answer, as you have had a head start on me with the Blues - is: how long did you find they need to break in? The earlier ones seemed to take quite a while of steady playing. Does that trend continue with the Blue?"

If YOU had been reading MY posts you would have seen me say I don't believe it’s possible, under ordinary circumstances, for anyone (rpt anyone) to ascertain what the break in period is for anything, including fuses. To summarize what I posted on the subject previously there are way too many *variables* and *uncertainties* involved including but not limited to time of day, day of week, how many thing the person does to his system in the meantime, both international and unintentional and the person’s general hearing acuity to be able to track the progress of break in and establish when break in is complete. In addition most audiophiles are continually breaking in multiple cables, fuses, whatever. Have you noticed how many people have 4 fuses, or 6 fuses, or 12 fuses? Most folk buy one to see how they like it then but more as they can afford it. Fuses are constantly breaking in! 

Reading comprehension glitch alert. I said I only went back as far as 2012. The archives are uh, chronological. There are only so many hours in a day. 😛

Geez, all this talk of the high cost of fuses and the high cost of Graphene but I don't see any vociferous naysayers or DIYers cranking out Graphene in their basements. It's not really rocket science. There are plenty of YouTube videos explaining how to make Graphene at home. Just keep in mind Graphene is only one molecule thick. Once the frugal and intrepid DIYer perfects making sheets of Graphene can I suggest a few applications for Graphene? Obviously care should be taken with Graphene since it's very conductive.

a. Wrapped around capacitors
b. Wrapped around fuses
c. Wrapped around tonearms
d. Applied to CDs, label side only 
e. Wrapped around small wire bundles in electronics 

That's weird. I just scanned all of your fuse related posts going back to 2012 and saw no mention of directionality. Maybe it's there somewhere, hidden from prying eyes. 👀

I find it odd you didn't mention directionality. Not even once. 

Small comfort? That's seems a rather odd thing to say about a 30 day money back guarantee. I'd say it was a great comfort. That's kind of the whole point.

"One thing I would like you see from Synergistic. The Tesla coil was developed by the great genius of Nicola Tesla which by the way wanted electricity affordable to all at low monies, and universally . The FBI stole all his potential future products and blackballed by the rich including Edison which stole intellectual properties.

My point is Synergistic makes manyclaims or boasts of Millions of D.C. Volts
and benifits .not one thing to back this up. Let’s see several independent tests
and the % of improvements."

>>>>>>I doubt Synergistic is under any obligation to either divulge how they accomplish their treatment or how it works. not by Consumer Reports, not by Better Business Bureau, not by the Feds. Although I seem to recall SR did offer some sort of explanation somewhere for what r Tesla Coil does to wire and fuses. But no manufacturer is under any obligation to divulge anything, in terms of operational mechanism or any such thing. It’s actually one super good reason not (rpt not) to obtain a parent, you know, so one doesn’t have to reveal all the gory details. It nice to be able to control some of one’s intellectual property. Now, if an individual or independent third party tester wishes to test something I they’re free to do so. Knock yourselves out! Ironically perhaps, this never happens with these unusual, sometimes preposterous, controversial tweaks like aftermarket fuses, whether of the beeswax variety or Graphene or Tesla Coil.

Who cares what the math is? The real advantage of such a product as the Blue Fuse is that it can’t be duplicated and (probably) a lot of folks want one. So, you’re kind of compelled to buy it for whatever price they’re asking. Infuriating, ain’t it? 😩

Pop quiz! Hurray! 😀 Why is the new Synergistic Research Blue Fuse blue?

We know why the SR Black Fuse is black. I'm not sure we know why their Red Fuse is red. But here's a multiple choice quiz, why are SR Blue Fuses blue?

a. They're sad. Well, kind of blue, anyway.

b. The Graphene turns blue when it's hit with a millions volts.

c. The Graphene turns blue from the new Cryo treatment they're subjected to. You'd turn blue, too. 

d. They use blueberry paste inside for vibration control.

Wow! That’s gotta be a real pain to determine directionality. 😩

Many systems have at least 10 fuses? Shazam! I did not know that. 🙄

I think the best advice I can give perhaps is if you can't afford aftermarket fuses don't buy them. Tip for the financially strapped: even stock off-the-shelf fuses are directional so you might be able to squeeze a little more out of your system by reversing them one at a time. What are the odds? Sorry about that if you have 10 or more fuses. 😛

If someone is going to complain about an audiophile product so vociferously the least he could do is get his facts straight. The Graphene in audiophile fuses is not used in the wire element. That’s why the SR Black fuse is black. Duh! 😛 Graphene appeared in tennis racquets four years so I’d say it was invented in 2004. Final answer.

Actually, it’s not added to metal at all, not to increase the conductivity or for any other reason.
