Something For The Fuse Guys ...


There are fuses, and then, there are fuses. 

I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago. 

Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue. 

The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs. 

The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October. 

Stay tuned ...

" Wow!!! just looked at your history, out of 8 pages of post, possibly 6 pages of which are on the Synergistic Research fuses, others are on other voodoo SR gadgets.

His post got removed anyone remember what he called himself?

BTW oregonpapa, wolf_garcia  can see the forest for the trees, it's you fusers that can't.
It's all shilling with voodoo/snake oil statements to you guys, nothing that actually contributes to the Audiogon society. 
Just look at Geoff's avatar the voodoo doll it says it all, he's just a "snake oiler"
Carefully applied Snake Oil can grease your way into some self satisfying imagined legitimacy, and you can take the gullible with you on the ride to nowhere.

 I believe that could be a Scientology’s mantra, think now, could it apply to Geoff??

We get it, but think it is BS. Have a nice evening.
👍

I think he's a "trany" cow, as that all that comes out of him, front and rear, just check his website, looks like it's sponsored by Scientology.

People seem to be catching on to the fuse nonsense.
Got that right, especially the ****** that say ac mains fuses are directional.

Oh and once again for good measure.

The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse

Your better off spending $2 on a "new original fuse", and save hundreds.

Frank’s ears prick up at the first mention of the words orange or fuse, it’s his beer money, also watch for the other three of the 4 musketeers they tag and take over, do your searching to see who the shiller are, before believing anyone on ac mains fuses, especially being directional.

Oh!! thanks for reminding me!!

Is it Orange or the other "prototype" fuse?
Old hat, your behind the times if you use the Orange, the yet to be released Graphene fuse is the one, only $80 more than the Orange at $240! now that’s value for a 50c AC mains fuse.

Cheers George

It’s a counter measure, to BS on $150 mains fuses.

I urge those here to use it and pass it on and post it up, every time BS is presented on the sound of AC mains fuses and their installed direction
@analogluvr roberttcan pass this on

If you don’t want to blow $150
Change your old crusty fuses that may have seen too many turn on cycles (pics attached), then do it with the same $1 fuse, not the BS $150 SR boutique ones, as they will sound the same and age just as fast.

As far as BS fuses go

The guy is just a blatant shiller for Synergistic Research, and not just their fuses, but all their voodoo products, some said he said he’s a "beta tester" for Synergistic, but that’s just BS also

All that can be done, is to keep strongly refuting his and his lackeys claims, until admin see fit to remove this type of dangerous BS thread from Audiogon.

These BS fuse thread keep asking the gullible/non technical on Audiogon to purchase and play Russian Roulette swapping, changing and A/Bing mains fuses until one is seriously hurt or worse, because they forgot to unplug from the mains first.

BTW Rob looks like there's been spring cleaning by admin on his many of his posts

Cheers George

Herbal substances are not necessary in order to enjoy music and the great artists that bring it to us.
Would certainly help in great big doses to here what fusers hear with their $150 mains fuses, especially with direction change difference, that has to be some really good s**t

Hey Rob, I know all here know who you mean, but can you please stop calling the resident cl**n Geoff, "George", I’m starting to get a complex.

Cheers George
I’ve been eating a lot of fish!
You stink

Step 7: Get SR themselves to start posting to refute any claims about their fuses no these pages and the danger that the "non technical" are putting themselves into playing around inside their equipment.
Step 8: They won’t, as the moment they do they become liable if any of the "non technical" get injured or hurt with electrocution, swapping in and out AC mains fuses with their knowledge, they leave it up to their shills and maybe Agon to take the blame.

Wow!!! just looked at your history, out of 8 pages of post, possibly 6 pages of which are on the Synergistic Research fuses, others are on other voodoo SR gadgets.

Do you have "anything substantial" to contribute to the Audiogon community, besides doing the same as oregonpapa, shilling ****
George,
Those don’t look like audiophile fuses at all. What on earth would I do with them?

They’re not BS audiophile fuses, but they are typical of what is in your audio equipment from the manufacturer, read the post carefully, and you’ll understand the point being made.
Cheers George


Wait a minute! maybe all the owners of those amps, threw out the "Gold Tuning Fuses" and put in the 20c ones instead because they were better!🤔
That's what I said, (tongue in cheek emoji.)

To all those thinking about blowing $150 on what seems to be a 20c fuse with exterior colorful "glitzing"

The only way a fuse can give an improvement is if the old one has seen "too many turn on cycles" which are the highest stresses a fuse will see. And when they become too old and crusty, they end up looking like this.

Just replace them only if your technically able, with the same new 20c fuse, and you’ll be back in business, forget blowing the $150 for a voodoo boutique fuse, which BTW will age just as fast as the 20c one.

"Are you trying to say Odyssey come new with Gold tuning fuses?"  
No!!! you need to turn your fuse around, I said they didn't and have proved it with pics, gezz! 🤦‍♂️
Had a pair of Odyssey amps, in house, for audition. Opened one up(with permission), to look at and test a couple things. Found Hi-Fi
Tuning Gold fuses(it’s been a while) in the rails.

Are you trying to say Odyssey come new with Gold tuning fuses?

If you look at all the Odyssey amps (Google images of internal shots) and there quite a few.
You will see they all from what I saw, just have 20c normal 3ag or 2ag rail fuses in them, on the board right next to the speaker RF filter coil

Wait a minute! maybe all the owners of those amps, threw out the "Gold Tuning Fuses" and put in the 20c ones instead because they were better!🤔

Showing how ridiculous it is even mentioning it
The fuse were in there because the innards were exposed at a "trade show", you don't get them, if you buy one. 
What a bunch of dangerous voodooist snake oiler's. 
Can’t say if he sells his amps, with them installed.
Just Google Odyssey images, and like I said they ( 4x) are next to the red coils on the pcb’s, and they are just Plain Jane 2ag and or 3ag for other models, here’s a pic they are circled in red all 20c glass fuses..

The audio hobby is a fun hobby, remember?
Not when it’s dangerous with what your telling the non technical to do, and your are shilling for SR many have said it.

Those here just need to look at your history with SR and the amount of threads and posts you put up for them, then they’ll see what your about.

You and your "shiller" need to take a long look at yourselves and look at your own souls, don’t worry about mine it’s clear.

Pushing the non technical members here, some that can’t even change a tap washer, to open their their equipment up and go inside start playing around with mains fuses that could injure them or worse.

All because your saying they are going to find the "Holly Grail" of audio if they change their perfectly good 20c mains fuses and replace them with these $150 voodoo ones. More likely they will find the Holly Ghost instead.

There’s a reason they say this on the back of audio equipment, and it’s not for a joke mate.
https://ibb.co/TW8rbrJ

You have been told by so many known techs here with electronic knowledge that’s beyond your pay grade, that your telling the non technical members here to do something dangerous with these mains fuses, it's only time before someone gets hurt.
Plus your much more than just a SR fuse junkie as well, as you push anything else voodoo SR makes, it’s funny that you hardly mention other brands in the same glowing "light" as the SR products you hammer home here on Audiogon.?
It’s all there in your history, if members want to search.
The only one with a "darkened soul" is you.
Hi Frank, I’m glad to hear that the new Orange fuse sounds better than a broken in Blue fuse immediately. The Blue fuse sounded better than a broken in Black fuse immediately. The Black fuse sounded like drek from hours 15 to 72 . The duplex change from Black to Blue was not as nice. The Blue sounded bright and hard compared to the Black. It took almost a week until it broke in and sounded better than the Black in all respects. The fuse improvement was more significant so the Orange fuse is the way to go.
Robert didn’t like the Stop-its initially and now we know why, they were uncured. I think I’ll try Stop-its too.
Is this for real or are you taking the piss?
Or is Stop-it’s, another new SR product you insert in your ear to get you sane again from the voodoo fuses insemination infection?
And no I couldn’t be bothered to see if Stop-it’s is actually some to purchase to make audio better.

oregonpapa OP
The Orange fuses will give those Legacy Focus’ of yours a new level of bass. Also, more realistic sound. Wait until you hear the violin and piano.
And give the SR Orange fuses voodoo a rest, you have your other thread closed, you now want this done too?
