Cymbop,I look forward to  your follow up listening impressions as you acquire the necessary burn in time. Charles,

The only reason fuse sound is discussed now is there's a  relative yardstick for comparison. What ever level of sound quality provided with a stock fuse the premium fuses are so much improved, you cannot ignore the vast difference. There's a reaso...

The main function of a fuse is to provide protection. I'm inclined to agree with Mapman and Ozzy in that the SR fuses could be  made to err on the side of being perhaps more sensitive and easily blown(Al's example of specification range). Better t...

Frank, "Bluesy Burrell" is beautiful music that was recorded well back in the early 1960s. I originally had the album and subsequently bought the CD, I play it often.  Another excellent pairing of Kenny Burrell and Coleman Hawkins is "The Hawk Rel...

Frank  (Oregonpapa ),I want to  publicly give  you much credit for initiating this thread topic. It is approaching 700 responses and overwhelming the attitude and behavior here has been very courteous, mature and informative. Given the the way  ma...

In my opinion it will be clearly better than the stock fuses immediately. Without question the Black fuses improve with the accumulation of hours. Just leave your digital components on 24/7 for 3 to 4 days. They certainly seems to improve at minim...

Fluffers,Just having the preamp powered up is all that's required. This long ER shift(7p-7a) is nearly done, can't wait to go home and get some sleep.Charles,

HI  Wig,The Audio Horizon fuse is highly regarded and has served your system very well. That the SR Black fuses outperforms it in your system by the margin you describe is quite an impressive testament.Charles, 
what pre-amps to try
Mizike,I would give serious attention to the Atmasphere UV-1 preamplifier, . When you take into consideration the Designer  and his company's pedigree this UV-1 could be a very exceptional product. The output impedance is only 400 ohms and would b...

jafreeman,I agree, he should simply begin a thread on the futility of premium aftermarket fuses. He will attract like minded opinions who also believe our  "many"shared experiences expressed here are merely make believe foolishness. This thread ca...

Knghifi,Good observation. If these premium fuses were failing to protect components and causing damage,  believe me we'd know about it.  Owners would be very vocal and upset and those skeptical about the fuses to begin would say I told you so. I b...

Keith,In terms of burn in hours I'm not sure if there's a precise answer. I can tell you that based on my listening, there's a noticeable improvement around 60 hours. They surely continued to improve to the 100-120 hours range. I don't know how mu...

Lowrider57,You raise very reasonable points.  I say if you have any reservations about premium fuses in your components still under warranty, don't use them if they'll cause you anxiety. I've used these premium fuses in all of my components over a...

I certainly believe in the idea that there are numerous excellent products as opposed to an  "one and only best". I bet that I'd likely be very pleased with the Beeswax fuse as I am with the Black fuses. The thing is that I have the Black fuses an...

Hi gwalt,I don't believe the SR BLACK fuses are being promoted as the "end all", certainly not my intention. I've written several times that I suspect that the Beeswax, Telos Quantum X2 or the Audio Horizon are also top tier fuses. I won't buy eve...
