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.

We can't read between the lines when what's between the lines are in your head. Your the one with the Heebie-jeebies. and now it may have voices in there too. Cheers George |
Who implicated post removals, wow, you’ve have got a bad case of the Heebie-jeebies. You did: You certainly do have a point. That said, I suspect you know very well that if what I’m suggesting were the case (i.e. that some reasonable degree of poetic license were allowed), many of my prior posts would not have been removed.George, you have to remember what you say and not make it up as you go along.👍 We can't read between the lines when what's between the lines are in your head.

I don’t know. Scout’s honor. ✌️ Yeah right, I’m going to believe a "guy" with a voodoo doll as his avatar. You’ll just have to look Geoff, could have even been in the SR Black thread. I know it’s there, so do you, use your dolls powers. You even knew it was bad info, as you had the sense and pulled back on it, knowing someone "could" get hurt saying this ****.. Cheers George |
I couldn’t find anything in the above to indicate your implications on post removals and indiscriminate treatment. 🤔 Who implicated post removals, wow, you’ve have got a bad case of the Heebie-jeebies. Didn’t say that if you read it, I insinuated you couldn’t "see the forest through the trees" back then, but now maybe now you could because the tree lopers have given your mind better vision to see the forest with. Wow talk about ***** Cheers George |
georgehifi Q Who is substituting a fast blow for a slow blow fuse? Geoff???? You know very well, don’t play dumb. >>>>>I don’t know. Scout’s honor. ✌️ With the Synergistic Research fuses that were blowing for no reason, even though they were the correct amperage. Those brains trusts here with no tech skills whatsoever were advocating to either go higher in amperage or to use slow blow. Both of which is extremely dangerous practices to do. Just go back a read through these pages, you find them. >>>>Even better, why don’t you cut and paste the relevant comments. |
I’ll put it up again, maybe the tree lopers have been in.I couldn't find anything in the above to indicate your implications on post removals and indiscriminate treatment. 🤔 It seemed to be solely on using the wrong type fuses. All the best, Nonoise |

nonoise - How is discussing the dangers of substituting a fast blow fuse for a slow blow fuse poetic license, unless you’re insinuating there’s danger to be had when sticking with the correct fuse rating but using a better fuse? Alright nonoise. 😏 You certainly do have a point. That said, I suspect you know very well that if what I’m suggesting were the case (i.e. that some reasonable degree of poetic license were allowed), many of my prior posts would not have been removed. True? 🤔 fast fuse forum moderation translation: delete post seemingly indiscriminately and immediately slow blow fuse forum moderation translation: think about it, consider other forum member response(s), then act accordingly 🧐 |
po·et·ic li·censenounHow is discussing the dangers of substituting a fast blow fuse for a slow blow fuse poetic license, unless you're insinuating there's danger to be had when sticking with the correct fuse rating but using a better fuse? Is that the license (effect) you're taking? All the best, Nonoise |
I must admit, my electronics background included industrial 24/7 traffic signal controllers which needed to react within 1/100s of a second. The triac drive circuits had fast blow for the above reasons. The rest of the controller boards used slow blow for similar reasons as explained by George. :) AMG ' |
I’ll put it up again, maybe the tree lopers have been in. It’s a very dangerous practise substituting a fast blow fuse for a slow blow, could even be lethal, when the original manufacturers one was a fast blow. As there are many specs to calculate to which one/type is used. As there are all the currents which dictates fast or slow blow. Switch-on surge current Idle current. How much bias current is applied And how many watts into what loads. Cheers George |
Dear Moderators ... gdhal Yeah, but he wouldn’t know the reason, I posted it up before and they couldn’t see the forest through the trees.. Cheers George |

Here I go again. 🙄 clearthink - .....I remain ready willing and able to prove in a double-blind test the clear, obvious and demonstrable differences in things such as cables and fuses that you have previously insisted do not exist.... Be reminded that the previous back-and-forth we had concerning this subject matter is specific to you - as in you personally - being able to detect an audible difference when ordinary speaker wire is reversed. It didn’t include the much broader category of differences between one particular brand and another, etc. I suspect you know that, but are choosing to "stir the pot" as you so eloquently wrote. clearthink - ....I have a business trip scheduled to the US this summer so this would be a very easy straightforward and manageable matter to arrange so just let us know if your serious .... No need to let **US** know. I’m letting **YOU** know. 🤑 EDIT: I'll work around your schedule. 🤑 |
gdhal"That said, I remain ready, willing and able." If you are referring hear to a valid reliable repeatable scientific double-blind listening test that would be conducted in public and would not require the advance submission of personal information or agreement in full to terms established by your attorney I remain ready willing and able to prove in a double-blind test the clear, obvious and demonstrable differences in things such as cables and fuses that you have previously insisted do not exist in fact I have a business trip scheduled to the US this summer so this would be a very easy straightforward and manageable matter to arrange so just let us know if your serious or perhaps otherwise simply engaging in repeated concerted deliberate efforts to stir the pot. |
If you got the kickstart wrong it'd boot you over the handlebars, or bark your shin raw. That was before the new 750 motor came out. Should have taken warning when I bought in Sydney and rode home to Canberra in the dark, rain and Winter. Took days to thaw out.Been there done that and got the stuffed up knee to prove it. Cheers George |
@perfectpathtech Thank you. I appreciate that. @georgehifi I wish I had an AMG but my initials are as close as I'll get. I had a Duc 900SD ducktail and conti's. Was temperamental in winter and the oil was thick the electric start couldn't do it. If you got the kickstart wrong it'd boot you over the handlebars, or bark your shin raw.

I found out I had the big "C" 6 weeks ago and I have an op on the 1st. Previous to this I was more than likely angry, but let it out here.Nothing but well wishes for you on the 1st mate, you’ve got some great docs up there in Qld. If you want I’ll look after the AMG for for you while you recover. Best sound ever, next to an old Ducati bevel drive with Conti’s at full tilt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnL_yEdZclI Cheers George |
@perfectpathtech I very much appreciate the kind words and offer. I also am not one to take gratuity, not because I am too proud, it's the way I was brought up. I will purchase a kit after I am over this episode and I know my future. Hopefully I will out live TC! But seriously, it is a generous offer but I can't accept. But please take my thanks genuinely. You to Tommylion. |
amg56 - gdhal, Thanks. The list you have is all my era and likes. I would be happy playing any of them. I have a lot of the artists myself on vinyl, tape (old), CD and digital, but there are always holes in the collection. :) You're most welcome. By all means, feel free to pick one or two shows you don’t have. My list is rather extensive, so I’d recommend using your browsers "find" function 😎 Alternatively, if you let me know your band preference, I can/will package an "artist sampler". 😎 |
amg56 - I'm being nice and you still have to have a barbed comeback. amg56's quoted statement is heart felt. To me, anyway. How often have I stated herein the forum not enough folks listen to the heart-of-gold-band. ------------------ @amg56, I would like to offer you some music. Free of course. Available to you via download link I shall send via PM. Format flac or shn. Your choice. Something to listen to while in the hospital.Just ask.... here, PM on audiogon, my private email, whatever. 🙂 http://halr.x10.mx/other.html http://halr.x10.mx/shows.html |
