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 ...

Just wondering, but the unwritten but unavoidable message is that the wise thing for those with systems having the often discussed esteemed "high resolution", that have spent $500-$2,000 in boutique fuses, should now dispose of those fuses and buy the new and improved versions?

If this is not correct please let us know.

geoffkait …"I also have much testing on a professional level in my experience on complex mission critical systems for both NASA and FAA."

How many years in total did you work for NASA and FAA?

Yea, its cool.  Geoff is referring to the pinheads in "Keep on Trucking with Mr. Natural", which me and my buds loved.  But totally unlike like Mr. Natural, he insulted me and called it a pity party when I mentioned my little kitty was sick..  Tomorrow I have to put him down at 7 months.  So glad roberttcan came around to give that Washington DC piece of crap what he desirves.

Geoff, as much as I liked your oft reference to the Doors "Break on Through", a favorite of mine, not to your mention Jefferson Airplane references, I totally enjoyed Roberttcan flushing you down. Nothing but Karma exemplified. Ready for your s(hitty) comeback.

uberwaltz, thank you, I hear you.  I made the visit as early as possible tomorrow.  Dalton was only 7 months old.  Made a gallant effort at making it.  Nuff said.

Wolf, your point regarding directionality is well made. Unfortunately, at this point I have also come to regard a number of Millercarbon posts as "lame". I mean who insults another person’s listening skills they don’t even know? And Millercarbon, what’s with making 3,000 post in just under 14 months, I think your gonna hit Guinness territory soon.

If your thinking of responding why don't I just politely ignore your posts, I generally do, but I find Wolf's posts most interesting/fun, so that's why I read your last few.

I have explained many times right here on these forums why fuses and all wire are directional in AC circuits including the power cords
.Yes, you have explained it so many times that, well forget it. You have explained that in the wire extruding process of pulling it through the dies to create the various gauges the wire molecules or whatever are distorted into a certain direction, and this creates a directionality that impacts the sound.  We get it, but think it is BS.  Have a nice evening.
