Something For The Fuse Guys ...

There are fuses, and then, there are fuses. 

I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago. 

Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue. 

The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs. 

The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October. 

Stay tuned ...

Herbal substances are not necessary in order to enjoy music and the great artists that bring it to us.
Would certainly help in great big doses to here what fusers hear with their $150 mains fuses, especially with direction change difference, that has to be some really good s**t

Wow the Orange fuse is unbelievable! I can hear a big difference right after installed. Feels like another big barrier in the current path removed. The bass is huge! Everything sounds so clear now. You won't know how far your system can go until you know!

Yeah good on ya,

If you don’t want to blow $150
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.
