No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?


I can't believe my eyes.

The pink fuse is not a joke either. Although it sounds like one after Quantum, Black, Blue, Orange, Purple, Master... did I miss something?

@wolf_garcia , well, at least you've tried one.

I'm curious how many naysayers in this thread have actually TRIED an audiophile grade fuse. Probably in the neighborhood of 10%, I'd guess.

I do find it interesting that some people (myself included) absolutely can hear a difference and some people can't.

All I can suggest is "try one". If it works for you, great. If not, get your money back.

 

 

I was waiting for this question to arise about so much product churn from Synergistic Research. It was an audible improvment when I swapped my factory component fuses for Orange then Purple and then Swiss Digital Fuses.  It's certainly not that SR fuses don't improve things, it's just the regularity of having to reinvest or suffer from FOMO. The lovely thing is that I replaced 4 Purples with Swiss Digital fuses 6 months ago and so when Pink came out I was already off the merry go round and feel great about it. I change components so It's very nice to know my SDFs can be reprogramed. I look forward to trying different slugs in the future. I expect to see OEMs begining to encorporate the SDF type fuse into new designs.

I have. It's money wasted.

@secretguy ,

So because it didn't improve your system, it can't possibly work for anyone else?

Huh.

Honestly, an audiophile fuse in my preamp was one of my best/cheapest upgrades.

Wolf said he tried an fancy fuse. He didnt say which one so really no help to this discussion. Further, he has tended to dismiss some of the tweeky stuff in the past and so has a predisposition of doubt. Probably a good thing. I have no interest in fuses or in anything Ted makes. Because of Ted and because of some of the claims made on their site.
