Do you reach 100 hrs for Oranges?
Does it take less time of break-in than blues?
It seems Blues take 200 hrs or more for fully break-in
Cukoo! Cleanup aisle 4
To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!
Ok.. I think I understand that no fuse is better than a cheap fuse. And a good fuse is better than a cheap fuse. But is no fuse better than the best fuse?
One person on Audiogon said that he achieved better sound by using a Blue fuse over no fuse. I guess my question is... Do these new, high dollar fuses just allow the current to flow better with solid protection or do they actually due to quantum physics or something, actually improve upon the signal by eliminating errant bad electrons and thereby actually improving the music over no fuse at all?
I gots to know!

I think due to rapid progressive improvements of fuses these years When the SR Orange fuses were completely broken in, they were way better than the SR Blue fuses they replaced. Are you guys listening to yourselves, really!! you must be all related to geoffkiat in some demonic way. Oh yes you haven't mentioned turning them around the other way. YET! |
You mention the BS $160 Orange fuse 4 times in the last post. Now say your not shilling (even though they say you have stated on Audiogon that your a Synergistic Research beta tester) The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse |
wolf_garcia Good name for it wolf, we’ll go with that and hammer that one home, should hit the spot with the gullible that pay >$150 for 50c fuse. A slow-blo fuse ageing over time right to left Cheers George |
Oh!! thanks for reminding me!! The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen, and switch-on surge ageing will be the same for both $200 fuse or the $2 fuse A slow-blo fuse ageing over time right to left https://ibb.co/8XGQf2z A fast-blo fuse ageing over time left to right https://ibb.co/QcKk94M Your better off spending $2 on a "new original fuse", and save hundreds. Cheers George |
And if you want to change your old crusty fuses that may have seen too many turn on cycles (pics attached), then do it with the same $1 fuse, not the BS $150 SR boutique ones, as they will sound the same and age just as fast. Pics of fast and slow blo fuses that have seen too many turn on cycles over a couple of years. https://ibb.co/PzWvzwr (left to right over time aging) https://ibb.co/17Tvy6t (right to left over time aging) Cheers George |
ieales👍 This says it all, "if" you voodooist fusers can understand Good work for the effort measuring And if you want to change your old crusty fuses that may have seen too many turn on cycles (pics attached), then do it with the same $1 fuse, not the BS $150 SR boutique ones, as they will sound the same and age just as fast.

there is this forum where you get to do it for free You see SR (Synergistic Research) aren't stupid they don't post here like other manufactures do to back up their wares in any conflicts, they know they become liable then, get the stupid shills to do it for them for them. Because they know if someone is seriously injured trying the multitude of different colored mains fuses in different directions doing a/b as fast as they can, that someone one day will forget to unplug from the mains and die. And if they don't post here they are not liable, only their stupid shills are (which will plead insanity anyway with proof). Cheers George |
roberttcan👍 Have a good look at his website, interesting doesn’t even begin to say what a ****** ** individual he is, he seriously need to seek professional help, it will make you shake your head. http://www.machinadynamica.com/ Cheers George |
What do you think, there’s a 15mm long strip of unobtainim in that glass tube, get real. Ok, ok, lets double it to 50c still dam good in anyone’s books. I had no idea!!! there’s even one for $225usd!!!! Talk about preying on the gullible https://highend-electronics.com/collections/accessories/fuses Cheers George |
oregonpapaHow many times have I seen you say this, from stock to black to blue to red to purple now orange, you must have the best sounding system in the world. jetterThat’s a roger roger, straight into SR’s pocket at the speed of light, not only for fuses but anything else RS has, and maybe a little honey back on the side, for yours truly. BTW: no more SR $150 "Orange fuse" thread that was just blatant s******g. You can guarantee a new trainee SR s*****r, will start one up in it’s place. Because there’s now a million Orange fuses to get rid of at rrp $150, cost price 20cent, nice profit if you can get it. Cheers George |
To the gullible reading this thinking of spending hundreds on fuses, and if not technically competent risking your lives by going inside your amps, don’t listen to the fuse snake oil peddlers. The only way a fuse can sound better, if it replaces old crusty one that seen too many switch on surges over time, doesn’t have to be $200 fuse, should be $2 same one but new, and the same result will happen.

no fuse I will not discuss this issue any longer.I'm with you Al, it's also stupidity of the highest order to bypass mains fuses, and to play around with them to see which direction sounds better is ludicrous, and then to tell the "gullible" to do it is down right dangerous. This thread has been reported to admin, to be moved to "Misc Audio" and with an Audigon disclaimer, should someone should get hurt doing this ****, because of the stupidity of others telling them it ok to do so. Cheers George |
I have told no one to do such a thing. I asked a question. Can you not read?Really!!! because indirectly just you did not listing the others. I may be in the near future buying copper tubing and installing it in place of a fuseIt's this kind of suggestive talk that will maybe end someones life, this is a dangerous practice. Fuses have no direction, and do not sound better. The only way a fuse can sound better if it's replaced with an old crusty one that seen many switch on surges.

ibmjunkmanYou are correct, everything else you posted up is pure BS, show us a link to where you seen this c**p. Cheers George |
