SR Blue Fuses

I just wanted to share my excitement with my SR Blue Fuses. I installed 3 in my Anthem I225. Its been probably 100 hours of burn in time now and I really am beside myself in the difference. The bass is really full, my highs are nicely extended and my soundstage is huge. Just today, my soundstage became ridiculous.
If you are happy with your current amplifier / preamplifier and intend on keeping it for awhile I highly recommend replacing the fuses with SR Blue fuses, if not the Orange fuses. I got my Blues for 30% off. It is quite possibly the best tweak I have done aside from room treatments.

It takes awhile to burn the fuses in but once they are, it’s pretty awesome the difference they make. I was pretty skeptical about this mod and thought it was a lot to spend but now that I have, it was the best $400 mod I have done. It made more of a difference than my upgraded power cords and actually probably made a more of a difference than going from my signal cable silver res speaker cables to my ap solo crystals.

Highly recommended if you already love your amp/preamp and intend to keep them for awhile!

You are a DISGRACE!
I have no words for a person such as yourself.
I have kept all of my posts clean and friendly and all you can do is resort to name calling and now insult me by calling me a liar.
A true sign of one who knows they are wrong and have no worthy arguements left to play.
You will forever be known henceforth as "Aunty Fuser"
Now get thee gone!

Where are you getting the notion that I intimated there would be any links??
Telephone conversations do not have “links”.
Please reread my original post on this matter.
Then reread my second post on this matter.
Then have a blessed evening and stay safe.
Thank you.

Not what I said at all about having links showing him stating his views on the net.

All I know is from my own personal interaction.
Oh and the fact Ayre did and still do supply the Myrtle wood blocks with their gear.

I have zero interest in arguing anything with you that cannot be proven .

Just maybe he did not consider aftermarket fuses " voodist snake oil".
Can you state in your interaction that he actually called fuses this?

No matter, that’s a rhetorical question so have a great evening.

Oh and save the " you fusers" please.

Or should we start calling you the " anti fusers"?

Not quite accurate George but unfortunately the one I knew and spoke to died, so please don’t say something crass like how convenient!

That was Charley Hansen of Ayre Acoustics.

He was a firm believer in boutique fuses, aftermarket PC and voicing of his equipment via Myrtle wood blocks that he actually supplied with his amps etc straight from the factory.

Sorry to inform ya bud but the same statistics can be used to fire right back at ya!

Check all the fuse threads and see the same 2 or 3 main naysayers and their increasingly desperate posts.....

Check your Poofel valve at the door....

I’d say it’s much smaller than microscopic, it would be more like infinitely small!
Oh there is most definitely a lot of things some posters display that fit that description........

Careful....
Never mind blowing a Poufel valve you are in danger of twisting your knurled sprocket flanger out of alignment and you KNOW what will occur if that happens....😉😉

I hear that certain posters think whenever a fuse is mentioned anywhere that the "schills" ( their words not mine) dash out to pray at the altar of fuse gods.

I would opine it is exactly the opposite

The fuse naysayers of which we know the names always seem to be the first responders to any fuse mention like they have to try and heal the afflicted poor souls who have inadvertently fallen prey to the great gods of fuses.

Give me a freaking break jack!

We are all adults here and are quite capable of deciding what and where to spend our money.

The naysayers dont like it thats fine, keep your pennies in your pockets, you are happy and so is everybody else until they start spouting poison for which there is no need whatsoever.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Instead of the SR Blue fuses, I have found putting a 10 gauge solid silver wire in place of the fuse gives excellent PRAT.  Just sayin 😂
What?
Who can afford solid silver wire!
A nice rusty old nail will do nicely......

On a more sort of serious note, I owned a Honda VFR800 a few years back I bought well used with 47k miles on it but it still rode great. One day about 80 miles from home(of course!), it just quit totally.
Spent a few minutes checking basics then removed seat and started looking for fuses, relays etc.
Well guess what! I found the MAIN fuse had been "repaired" with silver foil wrapped around the end caps of the who knows how long ago blown fuse.......
Do NOT try this stunt at home children!
More to discover
