Synergistic Red Fuse ...

I continue to wonder HOW SR fuses do whatever they are claimed to do. I realize that to the SR faithful this question is blasphemy, and to even raise this question often engenders the ire of the Magic Fuse Faithful, but since this question has never been answered, I still wonder. I'm not contacting SR because I'm more interested in what the SR fuse users, or "Fusers," think the answer might be. Massaged electrons? Current being passed along to the circuits with a light coating of sauce? SR claims to zap the fuses with a zillion volts or something, and puts graphene someplace, but I still wonder how they arrived at this technology, and why? Also, why can't they produce a product that conforms to existing standards of use (like my 2 dollar Littlefuse products do) if they're sophisticated enough to manufacture them in the first place?  Note this post doesn't need to be read carefully the first time as geoffkait will repost it in his response. Thanks is advance for the kind and well considered answers to my query.

Individuals in the Synergistic fuse thread are under no obligation to educate ignorant individuals who are crude, rude and not worth the investment in time such a project would require.

"Anyone tried the fuses filled with bees wax? $175 per fuse."

One cannot legally sell a fuse filled with bees wax, nor modify a fuse to such an extent, in such a way --- that it violates code and original certification specs. 

You can put just about anything in a piece of gear, but you can't mess with the fusing nor AC power input systems and hardware. The legal system and the certification boards of the government will come down on that like a ton of bricks, for all the right reasons.

"Yes you better move up in amperage as they seem to have a tendency to blow if matching the current fuse in place."

One should try to not change the fuse type nor current handling value (upward).

This is violation of code and design, and will cost you the validity of house insurance, contents, etc. It can open a world of hurt in the legal end of things if something should go awry.

I can say that I understand and believe in the idea and reality of ’audio’ fuses’. Importantly, though... fuses are legally and otherwise, in their certification and use --- wholly sacrosanct.

I’m willing to go as far ...or in most cases, much further down the road for better sound, than the folks reading this. However, I do not screw around with non certified, non tested fusing, nor fuse type or values.

Power rail fuse on a power amp? maybe. But only if the AC power fuse in the amp’s AC inlet....is proper in type and value as to the original specification.

As long as the audio fuses in question are definitely of a known proper certification, and correct amperage and type...then it’s a go, when used for the AC power on the given gear.

They work because fuses are the biggest bottleneck in the power supply. Bypass the fuse and improve the sound far more. I am not saying do it, but the point is any fuse is the weak link in the power supply. That tiny, tiny, thin wire of a fuse placed in an environment needing a more substantial gauge of wire is a certain and easily understood bottleneck. SR should also make a better fuse holder as this is yet another bottleneck. So anything that helps that tiny,  thin wire act more like a 14 gauge copper wire will improve things. That is no doubt what they did as well as others. This gets us closer the mystery of the SR or any Aphile fuse.
