As I said before prof
" If you go back to the OP’s first post and see the differences a "black" fuse did, them maybe multiples into all the equipment, then after that the massive improvements the "blue" does over the "black" then the massive improvements multiple "blues" do.
You’ve got to think to your self, that system of his must of sounded like a real t**d before any of these boutique $150 fuses came along.
Cheers George Thats just mean spirited and a cheap shot even for you....... |
Could it be possible that a members system is so unresolving and sounds like a huge t*#d that it is beyond saving even with SR blue fuses....
You gotta wonder....... |
Mapman
I do believe that the devil is in the details
|
If you find it so toxic you are more than welcome to push that little button labelled "unfollow discussion"......
Could well coincide with a significant reduction in toxicity levels....... |
Seems that the OPPO udp205 is another unit with a fuse soldered onto the mains board.
Phooey! |
Mapman
Not deterred at all, just lazy...lol.
I will pull the cover and investigate, sure I could make an aftermarket fuse work in there.....
|
Good lord George
Do you not have anything more in your repertoire than your standard 4 well worn responses that we have been "treated" to ,oh what a hundred times or more now?
Anybody have any new flash cards they can lend George?
|
You are correct Geoff but on the 95 at least it was not soldered to the board.
|
Should I get you guys a room?
😇😇😇 |
George
Irritate me?
You???
Dear me, you do have delusions of grandeur!
You do remember where the English sent all their worst criminals and nut jobs don't you....... |
George
WTH is wrong with you?
Did you not just read the admins warning?
Or are you that arrogant you think you are above them?
Cool your heels a bit please!

Pretty sure that of late there had been serious attempts by some members to discuss why the fuses do what they do , like the last couple dozen posts.
Then along comes a certain member and just reiterates all the same nonsense and using derogatory terms like snake oil, awesome foursome, fusers etc.
That then just starts a cascading chain reaction and yes it does drag the thread down.
Maybe that is where you should be looking.......
|
After YOUR derogatory post .....
Sunshine
At least try to keep up and get your ducks in a row......
You want to engage in a battle of wits go for it but lets take it off this thread, its already under severe scrutiny.
Pick your battlefield..... |
And as if by Magic

Ears burning? |
And right on cue George!
Bravo.
We only seen that post about 50 times, needed the refresher...thank you! |
Mapman
TBH that SR blurb sounds more like the sort of nonsense I would expect some other members to come out with than any worthwhile technical info.
They would likely be better off saying nothing than some techno babble that has very little meaning.
It almost makes me embarrassed to have to keep saying they work in my system but they do to my ears.
My new SR Blue fuse turned up yesterday which when I get home late Saturday will be going into my Goldnote PH-10 phono stage so will see what difference I can hear then on the latest purchase, which will be my first Blue fuse.
|
Mapman
Yes I know that was direct from SR website but I Think you could be right that is just some marketing Joe spelling it out.
I miss the pit girls! Always worked for me!

I have no idea how I could even begin to do blind testing in my house.
Who would change fuses for me? My wife? She would blow herself up, or my equipment, not sure which would be more upsetting.....😇😇😇
More a case of logistics in my application of this matter.

Prof
Unfortunately all neighbours are like 85 plus and zero interest in me or my toys.
Not one person I know in this country has the slightest interest in audio equipment.
Now some friends from back in Blighty do but 4000 miles is just a tad excessive.
|
Exactly Mapman, just the way I did it, by myself with my ears and as some will insist, built in expectation bias.
But I perceived a not so subtle difference with black fuses.
Gdhal..
Please, what are friends?
😞😞😞
|
Mapman
I am in both camps
Paid for 2 black fuses(BAT power amp)
Had another black fuse given me.(exogal DAC)
Maybe I am bias, who knows.
Who even cares......
Not even sure my English acquaintances know what a fuse is, we used to just bend nails to fit......
Course had to be careful whether used galvanised or stainless...... |
Btw
I think you mean

Well its not going to happen on my watch.

Had to Google " spruiking"!
Would you by any chance be a fellow countryman to George? |
Good luck with the fuses Eddy
Kudos to you for having the nads to take a leap of faith and actually TRY them unlike some members.....
And to post here your intentions likely knowing the feeding frenzy this would induce in certain members.....
Please keep us updated on your progress |
Actually very ironic
On the flight back home from Orange County I was reading about the origin of the term "snake oil".
Interesting read if nothing else.... |
Jay23
I think for the size of the enthusiast audio market there exists a decent supply of power conditioners to hand.
I use Corepowertech Equicore1800 myself, and I know a few more here do as well.
But this IS a SR Blue fuse thread after all.
Plenty of other threads on power conditioners..... |
Well here goes
Back home today from a week working in Orange County and both my new OPPO UDP205 and SR Blue fuse were waiting for me.
Inserted said Blue into Goldnote PH-10 phono stage and left it on just to warm through a bit.
Played vinyl I am very familiar with and......
IMHO there is an increased feel of depth to the music overall, female vocals and acoustic guitars have more definition, bass just feels tighter, not deeper or louder but, well just more. Instruments seem easier to pick out of the mix, more defined overall.
Really hard to describe adequately but a definite improvement all round, and this is brand new out of the box, 1 hour play time.
Ok, set, go.........
|
Actually we have ears.
Try them, you might just be surprised.
Thank you and good night |
Mike
Glad there are still a few like minded sane souls left in here.
I have always trusted my ears first, I have returned speaker cables before as I did not like the new "tone".
I would not have hesitated one minute to do the same with fuses if I had not perceived a SQ improvement.
3 blacks, 1 blue, ALL raised my system Sq to some degree.
Considering the thousands you can spend on cables, new equipment etc, a couple hundred on fuses? I will take it any day! |
George.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Oh so sorry I fell asleep while preparing a reply to your "new" post......

Sorry George
But my whole life and work is based around common sense and practical application.
I definitely do not fall into your 1% category.
What I do have is a pair of fully functional ears.....
Try a pair..... |
Last two posts before mine are both spot on and both absolutely correct.
However certain members just are not open minded enough to even consider that possibility and are stuck in a rut.
Nice posts both mitch and Carpathian. |
Eddy
I would be shocked if you do not hear an improvement BUT it will be what it will be, whichever way please do return to let us know how it all panned out
Best of luck

George stock answer #3
Bets on #2 or # 4 or # 1 next? |
At least I had the nads to take a leap and spend some "bucks".
And just did so again with positive results to my ears.
Or maybe you have missed that little fact.
And yes I consider it a fact if I can hear a difference, really could not give a flying fig about your negative nelly opinions George.
But please do keep em coming, THAT is what is driving this thread right now.....LOL |
Shoot!
I would not have bet on #3 again! |
@jay23.
George makes uninformed comments??? I am aghast at that news!
😱😱😱😱
|
Still flipping vinyl, not sure as hearing much more change since inserting Blue fuse in phono stage Sat night.
But it was a pretty impressive change to start with so.....
Well worth $150 to me and that is ALL that matters really at the end of the day.
If others of a different opinion are content with their $2 fuse change then so be it.
I think you might be missing out but it is your money and your choice for sure and that I respect.
So please respect my choice even if you cannot get a fact laden scientific explanation for it. |
That is not what this thread is about , IMHO at least, I could not care less if anybody believes me or not and whether they can hear a difference or not.
Read Franks thread post....
"PS: If you try the SR BLUE fuses, please post your results here. Seems the naysayers, the Debbie Downers and Negative Nellie’s have hijacked the original RED fuse thread. A pox on their houses and their Pioneer receivers. "
And that is ALL I have ever tried to do....lol

Gdhal
Only in certain members minds are there "ranks".
This thread is supposed to be about sharing experience about the SR Blue fuses.
Only certain members decided to turn it into a battlefield instead.....
|
Amg56
I certainly was not referring to your self and apologize if you took it to mean that.
I was referencing certain more obtuse members who have been around a long time. |
Hey all four stock answers in one post!
Perfect, maybe will not have to listen to any more whining for a while.
You are nothing if not predictable...lol.
The Magnificent Seven ride again...

Spot on!
I doubt certain members would be missed either on this thread or this forum in its entirety. |
I hate to keep correcting your mathematical ability but it is most definitely.....

Oh btw, I have been practicing wearing my underpants on the outside of late just to help the image.
Nope, not helped the sq any though.... |
