Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Great thread for identifying all the things I look for on my checklist of who to ignore:

1.  Constantly posts on forums instead of listening to their system.
2.  Uses any product by Synergistic Research (Have any of you seen what happens when you open up their products and see what's inside?  Have you never talked to an industry insider at shows?  Have you never done their A/B tests at shows and seen the chicanery?)
3.  Claims a product sounds terrible/disappointing/etc before "break in", but then marvelous after ### hours.  What exactly happens to the centimeter of cable in a fuse that causes this? Assuming some major transformation occurs, are you over 40 years old, yet can hear this drastic change on a centimeter of wire?  Plus, do you have an ability to recreate the exact position of your head and noise floor 200 hours ago while remembering exactly what you heard.  If so, you should apply for the next Xman movie...just like Synergistic Research should win a Nobel prize if their claims were legitimate.

How about you guys stop pretending to have superpowers and misleading people to buy ripoff products.

Step back and look at how ridiculous it is to spend this much time posting about a synergistic research fuse.  If you don't see how ridiculous it is, then...ok...I have a lavender fuse that sounds awesome after just .0001 seconds.  I'll be happy to sell them for the same price as SR at RMAF.  Anyone going to be there and want to blind test them against your SR?

It's even worse than I thought with this thread.  The OP is a guy with  78 year old ears claiming to have Xman level hearing and talking about how Ted of Synergistic Research deserves a Nobel Prize.

Do you have any clue how big a fool you're making of yourself posting this stuff every day?

Unfortunately for you, I was at Newport and heard the ridiculous Synergistic presentation.  I was front and center for the A/B test.

Because I studied psychology and know subliminal marketing techniques like NLP, I could write exactly what your used car salesman friend tries to do.  However, it will probably be over your head.

On a primitive level, it should have been easy for anyone to see.  Use great actual electronic devices from companies like Berkeley, Soulution, and Magico...then throw in your tweaks to make it seems like they are somehow the reason for great sound.  Usually he does this with his traveling Macintosh amps and Magico speakers.  This time he was able to partner with a local dealer and get even better gear to make his "tweaks" look good.

Forget theory though and arguing about it.  Let's just cut to the chase.  How many of the shoe box sized passive devices did you buy after hearing the demo?  You claim to be so amazed by the room and attribute it to Synergistic Research, so exactly how many of them did you buy?  I found no one who bought one, but maybe you're the first.

Do you even know physics and realize how big those boxes would have to be to attenuate bass frequencies on a passive basis?  If not, maybe you should have walked right across the hall and listened to the foremost room correction expert speak during one of the educational sessions.

I realize this is falling on deaf ears with you (literally), so I'm done with your nonsense and delusion.  Spend your money however you want and keep living on this thread touting what a great purchase you made everyday.  

As for others who commented, it's flattering that some went through my past posts and found I liked Steve McCormack and then researched where Steve likes certain fuses.

I know Steve and even been to his house to pick up one of my 5 amps I've had from him.  I spoke to him at CES this year and we correspond through email.  I won't speak for him, but he has NEVER recommended Synergistic Reaearch fuses to me EVER.  He has also never mentioned ###hour breakin needed for a fuse. 

If he ever did, I would strongly disagree, so don't try charade tactics to make everything he says attributable to me...especially when he has given ZERO endorsement to the brand we're talking about here.

Since you don't want to break open SR devices, here's a great exercise you can do.  Buy the SR outlet and then buy a Furutech outlet.  You won't even have to break into anything to see the obvious difference in quality.  This will also explain why someone like Steve McCormack might like Furutech fuses, but has never mentioned anything to me about SR.
