To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

I had a six-hour listening session with a fellow A'goner yesterday. The system sounded glorious with the new SR Orange fuses in the circuit. There's been a very nice improvement overall. The mid-bass has acquired a touch of warmth that is very inviting and emotionally involving. Vocals are amazing. Percussion is real. No joke.

PS: Nothing burst into flames.

Just as soon as I think I've tweaked the system to it's maximum, something else comes along to take it to new heights. I enjoy sharing the information on this site.

Oh Gawd, I love this place! :-)

• "Oregonpapa, in all your well-meaning literature, I wonder if you have separated more audiophiles from their hard-earned than any other individual on this site, they seem to think it was worth it."

Yes, they definitely seem to think it was worth it. I hear from them all the time via PM ... and you can read their many comments here on this site.

Sharing pertinent information with other hobbyists so they can improve their systems beyond what they thought possible is a fun thing to do.

By the way, the word through the grapevine is that over 1000 SR Orange fuses were sold within three days of their announcement. I'm sure its many more by this date. That's a lot of happy campers. :-)

• "How 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."

"The Best?" I have no way of knowing George, but in several ways, it is one of the best I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of systems in my time. Oh, and to my knowledge, there was never a "Purple" fuse. Did I miss something?

• "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."

I know you're not from around these parts, George, but around here, profit is a good thing. It allows for more R&D, which in turn creates more great products. That is a definite benefit for the end-users, wouldn't you agree?

Profit creates more jobs and better lifestyles for all concerned. That holds true for every legitimate business. A definite benefit there too George. Surely you can't disagree with that, eh George?

By the way, George, if I remember correctly, you weren't feeling very well a year or so ago. I hope all is well with you now. 

Take care ...

Q. Where does virgin wool come from?

A. From sheep that can run faster than trolls. 

• Tried smoking banana peels, in the 60's(per Donovan's recommendation).  Doesn't work.  Had to experiment, though!

Humph! You most likely didn't realize that bananas are directional. Had you taken the time to reverse the direction, you would have seen God.

• Due to ROHS you don't see lead in fuses these days. You may find some still in military. Tin/Zinc alloys are used in time delays fuses primarily and I believe in some very small value fuses.

What effect, if any, do you think the use of graphene in fuses would be? In fact, in any audio applications at all such as cabling, power conditioning, etc.

Frank

• You should probably take a gander at the SR Black fuse and Cerious Cables Graphene Cables. Not to mention PERFECT PATH GRAPHENE contact enhancer. I thought Frank would be all over this one. Wait till ya get a load of the Audio Magic Beeswax fuse. I can hardly wait. 🤗

Yep. And the Blue and Orange fuses as well. Just don't ask me how it works.  I Don't care how ... I only know that it does.  How's that for a scientific analysis? *lol*

Frank

No doubt ... this is an expensive hobby. I sometimes wonder if it's more expensive than a heroin habit.

Frank

^^^ Funny stuff. ^^^

Lot's of removin' goin' on 'round hee-ya. 

Now that the O***ge fuses are broken in, they are fantastic. Much better in my system than the B**e fuses in every way.

Frank

Is there an echo in here?

*YAWN*

^^^ bored with science?

Depends on the science. Food science good. Electrical science not so good. :-)
