Kedoades, you can obtain Elliott’s recommendation at Synergistic Research. I had to move from a 5 to an 8 amp slo-blo fuse due to the immense size of my custom amp’s capacitors. He recommended the same as rated size fast blow fuses for my solid st...

Robert came over to hear what 2 fuses & a duplex has done to my system.  He thought it never sounded so rich and detailed; however, he used his critical ear and heard a slight closed in sound and lower mid suck out.  He told me that the.side w...

First, my wife is a very impartial and impatient person who I inflict my audio changes to. I did the same A/B test that an Optometrist does to a patient. No hinting as to which I preferred. She indicated she clearly preferred one direction over an...

Dave, you are 100% correct in your 12/26 post, the black fuses sounded glorious for the first 10 hours, then yesterday and today at 11 to 20 hours, the system sounded mediocre, comparable to mid-fi solid state from the 80's, tonally thin, undynami...

I’m laughing because there is no warranty on my amps or preamp. They are Grover Huffman custom designs of which there are four or five made. Obviously, the amps are operating just fine with the higher rated SR fuses and Elliott of SR suggested tha...

I'm quoting myself from 12/22  As to the blown main amp fuses, SR Elliott is sending 8 amp fuses because my big amps have a massive pair of capacitors each as opposed to multiple small caps like most modern amps.  He said that the big caps dra...

dlcockrumI hope what you stated concerning black fuse break-in is not true for me. The first 5 amp pair I used sounded great from 2.5 to 12/13 hours until they blew. I just received 8 amp fuses and played them for 4 hours. They sound great. When y...

Well I’m up to 230 hours on my black duplexes. Sounds about the same as yesterday. The is blacker backrounds lowering the noise floor for LPs & 78s in particular. There is better transient response superior highs and tighter bass. The mid-rang...

150 hours on my smaller living room system.  It sounds so musical and non-audiophile (as in high end systems at audio shows).  The Signature IIIs highs are now totally integrated with the rest of the frequency spectrum.  The rear tweeter always (1...

It’s interesting that in my living room system.i have the amp into the black and other equipment into the red (same 15 amp circuit on opposite sides of the wall). That combo is working well. I will probably spring for a black fuse for the Dynaco S...

I have a problem with using the black duplex. I have only been using CDs to burn in the system. After 140 hours, I used my LPs for an excruciating hour of trial. The sound on about 10 mixed jazz, classical and pop records of great reknown sounded ...

100 hours on the duplex with standard fuses. They appear to have broken in so that the mids are balanced with new superior bass and higher treble ranges and the ambiance, reverb, natural decay and air which was awol for the first three days are ba...

When I built my house I contemplated placing the amps near the speakers by putting in two underground floor duplexes at the speaker locations.  I'm using them for Shakti air boxes instead

Robert agrees but he doesn't hear any loss of bass.   Now with the black duplex, the immense bass is tight, deep and moves enough air that you can feel it.  That's one area that I'm sure is just fine especially with my Grover Huffman large gauge s...

The advantage of running 25 foot speaker wires underground is no one will step on them as they cross the room.  It's definitely cleaner and safer.  Also no electrical interference or carpet caused static. 80 hours on the duplexes and they are more...
