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 ...

Yet another first hand experience of the fact that changing the direction of the fuse does indeed change the sound. Just finished burning in a Furutech fuse in my DIY burner and placed it in my Clayton Audio S40 amplifier.  No doubt the sound, bass being the most obvious, improved in one direction vs the other.  Most obvious and no ear straining needed.  

Thank goodness for the relief. I started cringing when I saw that username on threads. Not enjoyable for the most part. Too bad really as he had some knowledge, but it was overshadowed by his nartow field of vision and manner.
Just put the Orange fuse in my Lampi Amber 3 dac with nice sonic results. Stirring...
Fuses certainly provide sonic improvement. Funny how wine tasters can taste differences when the same wine is tasted in various shaped glasses and even different wine glass materials. I am a super taster and can taste differences others cannot. However, for some reason the sense of hearing throws some folks into near fits when some can hear differences they cannot. Actually, many anti-fusers have not even tried to listen? Strange  indeed. Not sure why so narrow a mind when it comes to hearing.
