Graphene in fuses and cost

Geoffkait - perhaps your search missed a few threads. Here’s one from Sept. 2011:

"No more calls! We have a WINNER!!!!
And I’ll just ask the guy who I sent them to to post on this thread after he’s had the fuse in about 24 hours. It should show some significant improvements by then unless the fuse (HiFi Tuning is the manufacturer, and it cost around $37.95) is oriented wrong. I’m not sure if only the top level (the "Supreme" model, which is built like the Mundorf, is directional, but I advised him that, if it didn’t sound right to his ears, to turn the fuse (it has an arrow on the body) in the other direction and see if it makes a difference.
Frankly, I’d NEVER go back to the fuse supplied with my equipment. This fuse has made it so easy to differentiate between "fuzziness" that’s on a recording and what may be the equipment ahead of it (I have it in the Hurricane amps, remember). Of course, my First Sound doesn’t have a fuse in it: I called the designer, Emannuel Go, to ask if there was a fuse in the power supply and he replied there wasn’t. (I was disappointed: these days, I want to put fuses in EVERYthing!). So, that eliminates having to open the power supply."

The title of the thread is "Upgrading Fuses." Started August 27, 2011. And that was just the first one I found: there are several others. This was one where I was giving away fuses so others could try them without any financial loss. 
I found it in fewer than 5 minutes.

Reading comprehension glitch alert. I said I only went back as far as 2012. The archives are uh, chronological. There are only so many hours in a day. 😛

I just went back to when I first became aware of fuses. There are more recent ones. And, post 2012, since there are several generations of Synergistic fuses, and I’ve owned every one of them and commented on them. But really, it’s irrelevant. I’m here to share with others, not shame them.

The more important question - to which you would know the answer, as you have had a head start on me with the Blues - is: how long did you find they need to break in? The earlier ones seemed to take quite a while of steady playing. Does that trend continue with the Blue?

geoffkait:

I doubt Synergistic is under any obligation to either divulge how they accomplish their treatment or how it works. not by Consumer Reports, not by Better Business Bureau, not by the Feds. Although I seem to recall SR did offer some sort of explanation somewhere for what r Tesla Coil does to wire and fuses. But no manufacturer is under any obligation to divulge anything, in terms of operational mechanism or any such thing. It’s actually one super good reason not (rpt not) to obtain a parent, you know, so one doesn’t have to reveal all the gory details. It nice to be able to control some of one’s intellectual property. Now, if an individual or independent third party tester wishes to test something I they’re free to do so. Knock yourselves out! Ironically perhaps, this never happens with these unusual, sometimes preposterous, controversial tweaks like aftermarket fuses, whether of the beeswax variety or Graphene or Tesla Coil.

You’re going to make the orphans cry! 😢😜😂 🍻

If YOU had been reading MY posts you would have seen me say I don't believe it’s possible, under ordinary circumstances, for anyone (rpt anyone) to ascertain what the break in period is for anything, including fuses. To summarize what I posted on the subject previously there are way too many *variables* and *uncertainties* involved including but not limited to time of day, day of week, how many thing the person does to his system in the meantime, both international and unintentional and the person’s general hearing acuity to be able to track the progress of break in and establish when break in is complete. In addition most audiophiles are continually breaking in multiple cables, fuses, whatever. Have you noticed how many people have 4 fuses, or 6 fuses, or 12 fuses? Most folk buy one to see how they like it then but more as they can afford it. Fuses are constantly breaking in!
