The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....


New SR BLUE fuse thread ...

I’ve replaced all 5 of the SR BLACK fuses in my system with the new SR BLUE fuses. Cold, out of the box, the BLUE fuses stomped the fully broken-in SR BLACKS in a big way. As good as the SR BLACK fuses were/are, especially in comparison with the SR RED fuses, SR has found another break-through in fuses.

1. Musicality ... The system is totally seamless at this point. Its as if there is no system in the room, only a wall to wall, front to back and floor to ceiling music presentation with true to life tonality from the various instruments.

2. Extension ... I’ve seemed to gain about an octave in low bass response. This has the effect of putting more meat on the bones of the instruments. Highs are very extended, breathing new life into my magic percussion recordings. Vibes, chimes, bells, and triangles positioned in the rear of the orchestra all have improved. I’ve experienced no roll-off of the highs what so ever with the new BLUE fuses. Just a more relaxed natural presentation.

3. Dynamics ... This is a huge improvement over the BLACK fuses. Piano and vibes fans ... this is fantastic.

I have a Japanese audiophile CD of Flamenco music ... the foot stomps on the stage, the hand clapping and the castanets are present like never before. Want to hear natural sounding castanets? Get the BLUE fuses.

4. Mid range ... Ha! Put on your favorite Ben Webster album ... and a pair of adult diapers. Play Chris Connor singing "All About Ronnie," its to die for.

Quick .... someone here HAS to buy this double album. Its a bargain at this price. Audiophile sound, excellent performance by the one and only Chris Connor. Yes, its mono ... but so what? Its so good you won’t miss the stereo effects. If you’re the lucky person who scores this album, please post your results here.

Overall impressions:

Where the RED fuses took about 20 hours to sound their best, and the BLACK fuses took upwards of 200 hours of total break-in, the BLUE fuses sounded really good right out of the box ... and that’s without doing anything about proper directional positioning. Not that the BLUE fuses don’t need breaking in, they do. The improvement continues through week three. Its a gradual break-in thing where each listening session is better than the last.

Everything I described above continues to break new ground in my system as the fuses continue breaking in. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to tear myself away from the system in order to get things done. Its truly been transformed into a magical music machine. With the expenditure of $150.00 and a 30 day return policy there’s really nothing to lose. In my system, its like upgrading to a better pre amp, amp, CD player or phono stage. Highly recommended.

Kudos to Ted Denney and the entire staff at SR. Amazing stuff, guys. :-)

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.

I did a lot of research (for all those people who tink I use a different name then you don’t know me. I would never do that. Only done by all those born losers. And you should never want to be one of them) in fuses in the last years. And mannn I love them. They can make a huge difference in a possitive way.

But....there is a big limitation. And this is the same limitation as be found in over 99% of all products in audio. And that is the fact that most products including fuses are incomplete.

This means on facts (and this has nothing to do with personal taste. What is one big F. nonsense believed by many, because it does not exist. I will esplain this later on facts again) that it misses essential parts of sound. And the rule is; what is missing will never be there.

In 2017 I recieved the Black fuse to test it for the company who sells it in my country. I understood directly why people love it. But after a month I also understood that it is incomplete as well compared to other fuses.

Audio is done by trial and error all over the world. This is audio without any kind of foundation at the level of a child. It is audio gambling and the results are very ineffective. And yess as promised I will teach you all that we are talking about facts which can be understood by all people overhere.

All the trial and error people (I call them children these days) are only able to focus on one of just a few of all the properties of sound. And make often changements in their trail and error systems based on one property of sound.

I can garantee you that they have no F.idea that there are properties missing. When I compared the Black when it was burned in with the fuses I use I directly could hear what was missing.

The fuses I use create a lot more depth and also more decay and space around voices and instruments. This is essential for different properties of sound.

When you want to guide and control you system there is only one way to understand it. And that is thinking and working by all the different properties of sound. There is no second way to understand and guide it. All other options are all different kind of trail and error. What lacks any kind of foundation.

When you want to understand audio you need to understand sound first. And second you need to learn how the human emotion works. And which parts our human emotions influences.

And you need to focus on all those parts which negatively influences both sound and stage. Most people who work in audio and who see it as their hobby all think that it is 1980.

It is 2018 and mannn it is impressive what is possible these days. In the last months I made new huge improvements in both sound and vision. That is why I was not here. I am an extreme focused person who needs al the rest in my head to create and develope new thought which are in my head.

I ordered the new Lumin X1 and will be one of the first who will own it. It will create many new ideas and options. I am addicted to both sound&vision. And this is my world since I was a child. And here I create things most people overhere can only dream of.

See ya all soon!!


Audio is all about facts, but most people do audio by gambling and believe in fairytaless.

I will test the blue when I have time. I think the DNA will be the same as the  Black ones owns. 

My comment was removed based on the fact that Audiogon exsists of people who pay them money for advertisments.


Burn-in period of fuses is about 14 days. Then it is about 90%. 4 weeks 95% and 100% in about 3-4 months.

It takes some time to be able to judge. It is easy to create a difference in sound and stage. But it needs to be better in all different properties of sound. 
Woolfy is a pure audio lover 'oldschool' 

These people keep om doing their hobby untill they die. Younger people are a lot different compared to these 'oldschool' guys.


From 2007 till 2009 I did run an audioshop. I always had a 2-dimensional system and a 3-dimensional system ready to demo.

The most fascinating thing was that when I played the 3-dimensional system women got excited and became more interested in audio.

The other thing what we noticed was the fact that women start using the system of their partner at home when they went from 2D to 3D.

I wanted to know how this was possible. I started to look for articles on the internet about sound and the difference in listening to sound between men and women. Women have a better developed hearing compared to men. But.....men are a lot more interested in audio and technique. But....women are also interested in music.

We see a huge difference in use when we bring new clients from an incomplete trial and errror system to a Tru-Fi system. This is based on the superior level in emotion with a Tru-Fi system. Many of our clients call their system addictive. When you experience a lot more emotion with your audiosystem it will influence your level in how often you use your system

Most audio products are very limited in diversity, this means there is not a lot of layering in sound. This is the main reason why there is a big group who is not interested in audio at all. These products are not able to influence our emotion enough.

But.....when you give them a demo in Tru-Fi regarding stereo, surround and vision they become like children. When people and even children watch and listen to vision and sound what can reveal all the details and layers. It will influences their emotion a lot more and they all get excited.

When you use the same content on a trail and error audio system the level of excitement is inferior.




Snake oil products are those who are incomplete in properties in our world. This means that over 99% of all audio products are useless and not worth the money. This is how we see it.

What I said before; many people in audio still think it is 1980. This you hear back in the low quality of most systems in shops and at shows. The most of them where lazy and thought we can sit and just go with the flow.

People have no idea how much they loose in quality regarding the acoustics, smog, magnetism and high frequent noise. You can spend as much as you want, money will not help you.

I worked a lot longer in audioshops. But I did run a shop where I had all the freedom and made all the decisions. But I see audioshops as a huge limitation as well.

When you want to bring both sound&vision to a higher level you need to do it totally different. That is why I wanted to do research in all different parts. This way you can create both sound&vision.

This is a different world than the trial and error limited world people know audio. This does not add anything new and does not create a better quality in both sound&vision.






Nooooo...the most men own a incomplete trial and error system. And over 99% is 2D as well.

The man wants to show his new stuff to his wife. After she auditioned it she says: I don’t hear it.

So the man thinks; she does not understand it. But that is not the truth.

She says: I don’t think it is that good. That is the real truth.

1,5 years ago we visited an audio show done by manufacturers. There where about 40 rooms. I was there with a few friend and clients. And other people who also work in audio.

After the show we alle agreed (on monday the next week I talked with other people who also work in audio) that there was not even 1 room what could create diversity in sound.

This proofs how limited audio is being done these days. No person on this planet can stay happy for a long period of time with an incomplete system. This is not a peronal thing, no we are talking about a fact.

All people agreeds that all these systems will never be worth the money. What I said before; money will not help you.

All people in audio need to learn what the essential part is of audio and that is music and the emotion it owns. But when you have no idea what sound is and how it works. You only can create an inferior level in sound quality what never will make any person excited and emotional each single day.


Without Music there is no audio. But even without audio there is still music. I am addicted to music since I was a child. I listen for new music about 2 hours each week. I buy what I really like.

It can be pop, rock, blues, jazz, classical and electronic music. The thing I love most is music what makes me feel emotion. I see it as a connection to be alive.

Tru-Fi is nothing more than how music sounds in real. Sound contains of properties. I had the luck to be able to listen to a lot of live music and also acoustic.

It all had a huge influence on my work regarding audio. Now I can extract all the different properties of each single part in an audio system. And that is why I understand why the stage and sound of an audiosystem is what I hear.

It all started on the 3th of july 1998 based on a mindset that I wanted to know why each loudspeaker sounds so different. In the first years I started to work in audio We had 5 loudspeaker rooms in different price ranges. When there were not a lot of clients I was always testing. Even during evenings I stayed at the shop to test.

On mondays I visited distributers and other shops. I was responsible for the audio magazines. I bought over 10 each month. I had to travel 2 times 1 hour to my work. I hadall the time to read the magazines.

I was interested in expensive audio right from the start. I owned stuff what was more expensive than the most we sold. I was always sending a lot of audio products of distributers we did not have. It was like a candy store for me. I wanted more and more.

In the last years I did the most research ever and I made huge steps. I can create both sound&vision. Based on the fact that I am aware of all the properties they own. I also spend a lot of time on reading about the human emotion.

Tru-Fi sets trail and error systems like it is dust. Trial and error is...........nothing. Based on the fact that there is no foundation at all. That it why most systems lacks emotion.

Tru-Fi can proof and show what is missing. We see it is very easy for all people to understand why their system is so limited. Based on the fact that it is incomplete.

A Tru-Fi system will experience you so much more details, layers and emotion. There is no human who would not choose for a more emotional and complete audiosystem. Based on the fact that our emotion works rather the same.

That is why the story; audio is a matter of personal taste is the biggest lie in the world. Many believe it and I even believed it till january 2016. A trail and error system cannot reveal all the emotion of a recoding. This is a 100% fact.

The thing what is a personal matter is that we prefer different kinds of music. An audiosystem does not create the emotion. The music owns the emotion and creates the emotion. And that is why you need a system what is able to let you experience all the details, layers and the real emotion of the music.

I did thousands of tests in audio and vision in almost 20 years of time. It is a fact that most products are incomplete and not able to reveal all the different properties of sound. I am sorry for those who bought them and own them.

They will always be a limitation in each system you create. They will even lower the level in emotion. This can easily be proven bij sound. This is how we work. And we see it is very easy for all people to understand.

One of the things I really hate in audio is  when people who work in audio tell you; you don’t understand it and you hear it all wrong. After the person was asked what he thought about the system

We see that when you demo a Tru-Fi system all people are excited and many become emotional as well. When a system is incomplete for many it will be not that impressive.

But mannnn when a system can reveal all the details, layers and emotion it will hit and find your emotion. And I am blessed and happy that we can create both sound&vision. The joy and smiles on people their faces makes us proud for  what we do for them.

I am a part of a team of unique people who have one thing in common. And that is the love for music. I contacted Qobuz to give a presentation about music with them togheter.

It is my goal to bring Tru-Fi systems all over the world. The way audio is done right now does not bring the people more close tot the music. Based on the fact that the products are too poor and incomplete.

They cannot reveal the real emotion of the music. We want other people to have the same stunning and additictive feeling as we all own.


It stands for True Fidility, what I said before we are a group of unique persons. I called it for a long period of time: Total Sound. The nice thing is you meet many interesting people in your life.

My life is Sound&Vision for a big part since I was a child. A client of mine came with the name True-Fidelity. Together we found this the best word what covers how I think about sound&vision.

For vision we work and think the same way. It is all about properties. There is no other way to understand it and guide it. It is that simple.

A client of mine owned differrent kind of audio in a period of several years. When I met him, he wanted to sell his whole system. Sometimes you read in an advertisement; For sale; whole system, because I quite audio.

I never did send an email to a person who sells his whole system in my life before. I was not interested in buying anthing of his over 80.000 euro costing system.

All brands and products where incomplete and also by far not the best thing in their price range. But......when I read what his system was I knew that it was 100% impossible to be happy with it.

I know the brands well and I know the DNA. For me it was very easy to understand that it was useless. It was if I could feel his pain. When I read it, it created some emotional feelings inside.

I did send him an email and wanted to know why he was selling his entire system. First he was not that honest and said: I need the money. But a few emails later it all changed.

The first time we spoke eachother on the phone everything became clear and it had nothing to do with money. He spend a lot of money in a period of about 4 years of time on audio. He visited what are known as the ’best’ audio shops in the Netherlands and Belgium.

No one was able to give him where he was looking for. He playes over 95% classical music. He owned many highend brands you all know. But I will not name anyone. He said something what I did hear of other different new clients with systems over 50.000 dollar. That at the end they bought products because they where tired to make a decision. For me this is very difficult to understand.

He said; there was no shop who could answer the questions I had when I visited them. Beside that; everyhing they presented was never what I was looking for. He also loves classical live music and also visits live music.

I told him how we work and that I create sound just by the properties it owns. Second I told him that I created Statement Audio Pro measurement. And that acousitic limitations are all gone in our world.

I invited him to my house and he brought his own classical music with him. After the demo he said; this is where I am looking for. He talked a lot about details he experienced during live classical concerts. For the first time he had the feeling that it was so much closer to how he experiences live music.

I sold everyhing he had for sale within 3 weeks. He did no buy everyhing new. After 3 weeks I created over 43000 euros back for him. I did not ask him anything for it. It created a bond between us.

He did not want to spend all the money again. And I said; it is your money. So it is your choice. I think he spend about a little more than 25000 euros on a new system.

It outperformed his old system if that was just dust or a dinkey toy system. After all those years he could enjoy his music for the first time in his life.

He was the person who said: you thought me that audio has nothing to do with personal taste. It took him 1 hour to explain to me that audio has nothing to do with a personal taste. The first thing what happend when he said it: I said you are wrong, audio is all about a matter of personal taste.

After one hour I understood him well. And these days I tell this story to many people who also work in audio for a long time. And most of them agree with the story.

My client said: before I met you I did audio for about 4-5 years by trial and error. The facts proof that it did not bring me anywhere. You gave me a system what is how music sounds and is being displayed in space like in real.

Trail and error never gave me where I was looking for all those years. It became clear that trail and error is just pure gambling. Even many people started to laugh when they realized that their choices are made by gambling.

Many never thought about the fact that trail an error has no foundation. It proofs that audio is all about assumptions what is told to us. You need to become aware how audio really works and how our emotion works.

I think I want to use conservatorium students during presentations. Because acoustic live music did learn me a lot. I want to show it to other people as well. So they can learn and understand how voices and instruments sounds in real.






Tuning is a different thing. When you change a cable, amp, source, conditioner, loudspeaker etc for another one. You need to know which properties you took out and which you brought in.

When you have no idea which properties you took out and which you brought in, it is pure gambling.

I said to to many people who also work in audio. And they all agreed that they have no idea what they do and what they change. Walking on thin ice. This is how I call it.

Based on the fact that is very easy to make them aware that there is no foundation.

I work by properties. First I want to know the DNA of each individual part of an audio system. It depends if it creates all the different properties of sound.

I can adapt each single property of sound. For example: we do a lot of modifications these days. I know which parts I can bring in for a modification to improve the diversity in sound.

Tru-Fi is colleting properties and create an audio system what will be able to reveal all the details, layers and emotion of a recording. Tru-Fi is also very effective based on the fact that is can create a much higher endresult of each individual part in a system.

These days people come to me and we see what they own and what we can use again. In most situations everything has to go. Incomplete parts will always be useless in a Tru-Fi world.

I give an example: a person read some of my articles and said: I read your thoughts and ideas about 3-dimensional audio. I would like to create it as well.

His amp and source where 2D. And I explained it to him. But he said; my amps are very good and they got great reviews (And yess I am Santa Claus:) and the person who sold it to me said it is the best for the money.

Assumptions can be seen as the truth. He was not prepared to sell his amp and source. Then I cannot help you. I will never sell 2D and incomplete audio in my life again. I would become a loser too like the other losers.

That will never happen in this life. A born perfectionist only does things at the max. I will never choose for any limitation. Because these are for all those born losers in this world.

I cannot help those people who want to hear what they like to hear. When you like to be screwed, call a company who will love to tell you what you would like to hear.
Hahahahaha...I don't need and want any kind of reward. This is not how we are raised. Most rewards are useless and are not based on real facts. 

I just want to be like my dad. A thank you is more than enough  :)
Tru-Fi can be used for each single audio product. It is easy as 1 and 1 is 2 to see which properties of sound it owns and which ones it cannot reveal.

You all still focus on brands and products. And no it is not up to me to tell which brands can be used and which ones are incomplete. We will give presentations regarding Tru-Fi and the brands we use and sell.

I don’t have to call the brands who cannot reveal it. Tru-Fi will be mind blowing for each single person. You don’t need to compare another system. When you listen to your own music it will be a totally different experience. It makes you aware of how much more it will influence your emotion during listening.

You all still make the mistake to think in brands and products. People who think we well use the brands Bo uses are the biggest losers of this world. Sound is so complex and divers that you have no idea how many parameters you have to adapt.

When I listen to a system I can see and hear 10-over 30 mistakes they made. But.......without the mistakes I can adapt many other things you never thought of. I can go into details so much further than you all can even think together.

When I talk about thousands of tests and even untill today I still do a lot of research and tests I can extract both sound&vision to tiny parts what you never can reach or understand.

You will think and focus on brands and products until you all die. This will never create the level what I can achieve. Trial and error systems are systems created by children. Based on the fact that there is no foundation.

You can only understand both sound&vision when you would be able to think in properties. But.........that is not the case. So what is left; is doing audio by trial and error. We are talking about a 100% fact and no one can change that.

When we listen to trial and error systems it gives us the feeling if we went 20 years back in time. They all work the same way, they all make their choices the same way. It is all about gambling untill they die.

I often talk to my clients about the fact that most people who have audio as a hobby go on by doing trial and error untill they die. My clients often start to laugh and they are happy not to be in that circle of misery.

We create sound and we do not sell products. We don’t believe in that. We create each system for scratch these days. We do so much research that we create new upgrades all of the time for our clients. A born perfectionst is improving both sound&vision all the time. This is the fun part and the thing I love most.

This is for me the thing I love most of my life. We have different upgrades for our clients all the time. And these upgrades are superior in endresult for the money they cost compared to any upgrade of the same amount by another tool or product.

We can use products of manufacturers a lot more precise than they do. Based on the fact that they also do audio by trial and error. Tru-Fi is over 300% more effective than any kind of trial and error. What is just one big laugh.

We modify products not only to make them better, but to give them a higher level in value for money. Everything I do is based on result and it needs to be superior and without competition. This is how I was born, it is all about outperforming and winning. Second best does not count and will be for all those born losers in this world.
These days when we go to a client for both sound&vision togheter. We bring in tools and high tech equipment of over 12000 euro. The most think and believe it is still 1980.

You have no idea overhere how much we can go further into details. When we do a Statement Audio Pro measurement with 2 people for ony a stereo system we need about 6-8 hours in time. This is how precise we work. And we work and think at 0.25 millimeter precision.

When we have done a Statement Audio Pro measurement we need 1-2 days of rest. It does cost that much of mental energy. It is a world you not even can imagine. Based on the fact that you still live in the limited trial and error world full of assumptions.

Now I will be gone for a period of time again. We are busy with many awesome tests and upgrades right now. And many modifications as well

See ya......
Fuses influences all 8 parts of sound. You all just can focus maximum on a few of those 8 parts. Beside that you have no idea how the 8 different properties are changed.

You all still do audio by trial and error. It is an extreme limited level in working and thinking. I am really sorry for you all, but it is the truth.

Each fuse does it differently compared to the other one. But you still need to be able to think in properties to understand which one will be the best. So you still do it all by trial and error.

You only can test a fuse when it is used for 4 weeks of time. Before that you cannot make a good evaluation at all.

You need a system what can reveal all the details, layers and emotion of the recording. And you need to be able to extract all the different properties of each individual part in your system. You need to understand the acoustics. And you need to understand the influence of smog, magnetism and high frequent noise regarding your system at home.

When you have no idea how this works...........it will be pure gambling!!
It was, I am really sorry for that Frank.

But I am gone, creating and improving sound&vision.

I wish you all a nice weekend and good luck with your trail and error systems :)
When audio would use parameters it would be a lot more easy to understand for everyone. But they keep it vague and do this on purpose. But we realized that the level in sound is limited even bij manufacturers and distributers.

They understand how I think and work. The listened to my system and had to admit that it is superior to any other system in a shop or what they ever auditoned in their life before.

The properties of sound are just facts and they exist. And they are as they are. This is even simple to explain and to understand.

Many people who also work in audio had to admit that their knowledge is not that high and involved. I had to accept that other people only can think and work at an inferior level than I do.

This looks easy, but it is for an extreme perfectionist difficult to see and understand that most people own a very low level in insight and knowledge. In 2013 I realized for the first time that other people in audio are inferior.

For me many things are very simple to see and understand, but now I understand that they all cannot go that far into details. The differences are so huge that it never will be a fair battle again.

I can outperfrom them all with ease. I told to a few manufacturers that I see them as children. Now they understand and do not feel offended anymore.

When you hear it yourself it is very easy to understand why i is superior to all the trial and error audio systems. When I saw the photos of Highend Munic 2018, I often have to laugh a lot.

I see photos and mannnn they show me all the mistakes they made. But I can garantee you that they don’t see the faults at all they made. They cannot think that deep into details.

2017 was my most successful year ever, but now I can create even faster a higher level in both sound&vision. Based on the fact that I can see a lot further and deeper.

Sound&Vision needs to become better all the time. This week we started with the new Oled C8 screens. We can create a level where the people of LG only can dream of. I see them as children as well.

We go so much further into details which they even can’t see and understand. It is my goal to show that we are the best in stereo, surround and vision in the world. That is why we do all the different areas at the same way.

And that is by properties and limiting all the negative influences on both sound&vision. This is my world and here I am the master and ruler. Not to proof that I am the best and take a look at me. Because that is worth nothing in my life.

I only can do it to help others to get a superior level in both sound&vision. My father showed me that life is all about helping others. But I will not give my knowledge and insight for free.

I can create and bring each individual system of each single person to a higher level he can create himself untill he dies. Based on the fact that I know exactly how huge the difference is in creating sound by Tru-Fi vs any trial and error systems on this planet.

My main goal in life is a foundation for those who have nothing. This is where I will use most of the money for. To create a better life for those who cannot change their lives is in my world the highest thing I can achieve.
fuses can be a great upgrade in audio. But....smog, magnetism and high frequent noise have a huge negative influence on the sound and stage. Here are upgrades which make a bigger difference than the fuses do.

Even when you adapt yoiur systems by modifications and tools regarding smog, magnetism and high frequent noise. You will have access to an even higher result with the fuses.

When you would understand the properties of sound and all the different parts which have a negative influence on the sound and stage audio can be brought to a much higher level.

The acoustics have the biggest influence on sound and stage. And here most people have no idea how much they loose in quality and result. Buying more expensive audio will not help you a lot. The level in effectness in audio is very limited due to trial and error.

Trial and error is so ineffective based on the fact that there is no real foundation. People need to become aware that this will never help them to be effective in audio.

This has nothing to do with personal matter, but is all related to facts.
