PROTOTYPE FUSES - NEW THREAD

*waiting*

@jerrybj,
I hear you.
I wasn't really trying to debate, more trying to figure out what the point of the posts were.
Now I know.

I am paying pretty close attention to @oregonpapa 's posts, as I, too am curious as to what's going to drop.

I am here simply because I am interested in another audiophile's opinion on them, and am curious to see what he has to say about them.

So far, unless the prototype fuses are WAY outside of my price range (enough to move up from the Orange SR's), I may have to upgrade, too. After all, I suspect they will come with a money back guarantee. 

Guess we'll see.

For 75 years (-ish), science couldn’t figure out how bumblebees flew.
Yet flew they did.

I can’t explain how/why fuses change the sound.
But I can assure you that they do.

I used to be very skeptical of these kinds of things, because they didn’t really make sense, on a scientific level (and my low-level understanding of AC current). A fuse is there pretty much to be blown, as a safety device.

On a whim, and because it comes with a MONEY-BACK guarantee, I bought 2 SR Orange fuses for my (relatively) new-to-me Classe Amp and Preamp. I popped the first one into the preamp. (I was smart enough to change them one at a time, because I was going to get my money back if it didn’t make a difference!).

My mouth hung open.
I was astonished......to the point of being a bit flabbergasted.

After a couple of days, I popped the other fuse into the amp. Not as big of a difference, but I did hear a difference.

YMMV, and I can’t tell you how or why they make a difference, but in my system, they ABSOLUTELY make a difference. Not sure I would want to live without them moving forward. I have gone back and forth with stock fuses and the Orange ones (simple to change out on the back of the preamp and amp), and the difference is absolutely demonstrable.

I guess not everything is measurable.

@oregonpapa , 
Please keep us updated as events warrant.

Well, if the price listed is correct (*doing some sleuthing here*), that sounds like quite a bargain!

Gonna have to start budgeting.
These things are going to sell like wild-fire.

Yeah, I'll be trying at least one of these out when they become available.
The Orange was an eye opener. 
Very much looking forward to the new purple ones.
