Synergistic Red Fuse ...
FUSE assistance needed please: I’m currently using my Music Culture MC 501A CDP as my transport and it pairs up with my Yamamoto YDA-01 Dac that has a SR Red fuse in it. Before I drop some big dollars on the SR Black fuses etc., is a SR Red or Black fuse going to make any improvements in the Music Culture CDP that I’m using as a transport only? Thank you for your thoughts. |
I came across this article and thought how fitting for this forum: http://www.psaudio.com/pauls-posts/fuses/ |
@limniscate, I owned the 1.6 several years ago and now have the 3.7. I thought there was more than one fuse per speaker, but I was wrong. Looks like one fuse per speaker, you are correct. When I upgraded the fuses in my 1.6 and 3.7 I heard an improvement using the older Quantum SR 20 fuses. Maybe you just need some additional fuse break in time? |
charles1dad, I'm planing on putting a SR Black fuse into my second Yamamoto DAC, (Bill already has a SR Red in the one a acquired from him). When I get around to it and have the SR Black in my hands, I'll send you a message regarding direction. The darn gear is too difficult to pull out more then once regarding experiemtation. |
charles1dad; I looked for what seemed to be an eternity for a used Yamamoto DAC (at Bill's and your suggestion) and never saw one. I broke down and ordered a new one from the North American dealer. Months later it arrived (from Japen) and as you guys said it sounded wonderful. Then Bill's came up for sale and I could not pass it by. So now both of my systems have a Yamamoto DAC. (LOL)! |
Charles, I also had a two month wait for the new Yamamoto Dac that shipped from Japan. If any of you are a handy guy with a soldering gun you could buy the Yamamoto Dac kit and build it yourself. I think the kits are available from Japan and ship a lot quicker. Personally, I did not feel I had the necessary experience to build one. |
I’m happy to report that I received several of the SR Black fuses on Friday. I didn’t have time to install any of them until this morning. In my main system I replaced the SR Red fuse in my Yamamoto Dac with an SR Black fuse and due to my impatience I replaced the stock fuse in my Allnic L-3000 preamp with the SR Black fuse. I immediately heard deeper bass, a more articulate and natural sound of music along with improved imaging and a wider, deeper sound stage. In my main system I use a loom of High Fidelity products (interconnects, digital cable, speaker cables and power cords). I look forward to the replacement of standard fuses with the SR Black in my second system, in the following: (Yamamoto Dac and Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B amp). I’ll get to that in a day or so. I'm anxiously waiting to hear what the break in period will do for improvement. |
oregonpapa; I'm looking forward to it! I already hear great improvement this morning in my main system. I added the SR Black Fuses last night to my Yamamoto Dac and Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B amp in my secondary system and could not believe the improvement as soon as I powered the system up. And it sounded darn good before I ever added the SR Black Fuses! This is one of those tweeks one has to hear for themselves to believe! |
I have received several SR Black fuses from Highend Electronics and Alfred has been very helpful. When I installed an SR Black into my Magnum Dynalab MD-106T Analog FM Tuner it just didn't sound right, sure enough a flip of the fuse did the trick. I'd also like to thank all those in this thread for their thoughts and providing valuable information. |
@mac48025 ;-) of course, I knew you were kidding... Luckily, I usually have time each morning to listen to my system, many times later in the day also. I had added the SR Black fuse to my preamp, Phono Preamp, Dac’s, Transport’s and Integrated amp a year ago with great success also. @wolf_garcia sorry if you don’t buy into the SR Black fuses, as others have said in this thread (and I know several of these audiophiles on this thread), I trust their ears and my own ears. We know what we hear and like it. |
I respect individuals that post on this forum regardless if you hear an improvement using the SR Black fuses or not. What bothers me are the people that don't try the product and voice their opinion or the people that tried the product, did not hear a difference there for everyone else that heard a difference must be wrong. |
