No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?


I can't believe my eyes.

The pink fuse is not a joke either. Although it sounds like one after Quantum, Black, Blue, Orange, Purple, Master... did I miss something?

Yeah, I also have a hard time believing anyone isn’t hearing a difference unless they are putting them in a router or something. In every component I’ve used aftermarket fuses had an equivalent effect as a power cable, and each one sounds different. They also create what absolutely must be measurable differences in frequency response and transient energy. There are enough YouTube videos put there comparing different ones, and the difference clearly comes through even over compressed video.

I mean it’s wild, even the shade of light and contrast in the LCD displays changes.

The main components I understand are quartz sand, as a vibration damper, and various ferrite-like minerals that reduce noise. They also seem to greatly increase the current a component can draw from the wall.

I'm interested in how the Pink sounds, esp if it corrects the midrange excess of the Purple.

I'm trying a couple of these out, one in the PSU to my network switch, and one in my headphone amp. They haven't burned in at all, but I'm inclined to say that they might have too much noise filtering compared to the Purple's. I had this issue with some of their other recent UEF products, where the reduction of grain and noise is dramatic, but the sound ends up being overly smooth and dull. Baby=out with bathwater.

Maybe just one in the network side of my system (where the Master Fuse was too bright), but it could be that a second one in the amp is too much and I will go back to the Purple. 

If this changes in the next few days, I will leave a comment about it. But immediately everything is really smooth. Too smooth.
