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 ...

@rsf507 

Thank you for the link. That might be a good place for me to start.

Cheers!
To the Moderator who took down my lengthy response to the member who posed this question:

  • "In your own words, can you describe the sonic difference(s) between SR Orange vs. Purple? Feel free to cite musical passages that explain the context. This is something that is not provided readily over on the QSA thread(s)."

I spent an inordinate amount of time composing the response. I went into great detail. There was nothing in the post except me relating my experiences between two fuses, made by the very same manufacturer. There were no bitter words, no personal attacks, and it was certainly not an advertisement in any way. 

Please contact me via PM so that I can gain an understanding of what is going on here. 

Thanks for your response in advance.

I agree with Nonoise. As someone new to the site, it’s very disappointing to see a well written and non-insulting post get removed. I really appreciated your description of the item and your response to my question. Maybe someone should contact SR and let them know this site is singling out posts about their fuses for deletion. 

Cheers!
  Hi Frank,
  I appreciated your description of the sound differences as well between the orange and purple fuses. It was very well written and would be very beneficial to audiogon members.

  I was wondering where it disappeared to as well.
Thanks, guys. To date, no explanation has come forth. 

My two-word comment above to nonoise was deleted too. All it said was: "Thanks, nonoise." 

Question ... how does saying "thank you" to someone violate forum rules?

The fact that you're getting no response from Admin to your problem speaks volumes.

Some time ago, when another fuse thread was getting out of hand due to the usual suspects, I contacted SR about it, informing them of the undue bashing their products were getting and how nothing was being done about it.

I didn't expect a response but the one I got was they were aware of it and that it was a long standing problem they had with A'gon. I also pointed out on another thread that SR drives a lot of business to this site and why would Admin allow such treatment. 

I have no dog in this fight as I don't own any SR products so I can't be labeled a "shill" as the usual suspect is wont to accuse. He's gone to Herculean lengths to conflate anything to do with SR, fuses and any product he doesn't approve of as shilling, dangerous, unethical, etc. and cries to the mods about it, most likely wearing them down. 

He's the audio albatross around our necks and Admin seems to be fine with it.

All the best,
Nonoise

Thanks for the post. Something that the administration should be mindful of is that while SR doesn't sell, or advertise directly on A'gon, his dealers certainly do. Just a thought.

I think they are shipping 10/18. My QSA Violet and Yellow just delivered today.
