| Synergistic Red Fuse ... maybe I’m too rebellious as I tend to stick with my instincts, and my instinct still tells me to avoid herd mentality in all things especially those with suspicious or personally illogical underpinnings. No herd mentality? Hmm, well you are a wolf... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... GEoff have you specifically used SR Red or Black fuse, the topic of this discussion? Are you saying all "audiophile" fuses perform the same?If so what differences did you hear?Talking about other products or fuses and using that as basis for the p... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... No place for skeptics in Machina Dynamica world.GEoff note: I am actually using the fuse. So am I still a "skeptic"?Are you using the fuse? Have you heard the results. OR are you just strawmanning? One thing for sure is you are a vendor sel... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Also worth noting that since nobody knows how this fuse works its magic or why it is quite possible that results vary widely case by case. Nobody knows otherwise. Perception is clearly always in the equation but all gear is different as are fuses... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I would not pay hundreds of dollars for what I've heard so far. So not a hit here quite yet. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I'd put my money on what p59 said. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoff. For someone always declaring straw man arguments of others you sure are a champ. What does a tice clock have to do with fuses? Answer:. Nothing. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... One rather mundane thing I just thought off with the red fuse. Every fuse I have ever used is glass. When the fuse is suspected of blowing, you easily examine the filament inside through the glass for a gap to confirm the fuse is gone and repl... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... One thing I wonder is how many people actually take the time to a/b the sound with 2 fuses repeatedly. That is what I tasked myself to do. Gotta admit I feel pretty silly now having spent time doing it and not hearing much of consequence. If I had... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m thinking towards the weekend when I typically have more time to listen I will pop it back in and give it a more extended listen, probably using my much larger OHMs where I spend most of my preferred listening time, then maybe compare again.I ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... OP,Also I will comment that I think I heard similar aspects to the sound that you originally identified when you started the thread in that I was trying to listen for taht and other things as well. At times I thought it might be somewhat associate... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... So even though I am not hearing a difference so far that's two scores now for Synergistic Research in any case 1) 500V rating would appear to denote an unusually rugged and durable product and 2) good customer service.Its to be expected that some... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Ok initial listening session done. I spent about an hour swapping fuses in the arc sp16 and comparing. Also changing fuse direction. I left the quantum sticker thingy off. So look, the red fuse sounded good. So did the stock fuse that came in the ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... OK, my original post was found on another thread. I'll put it back here where it belongs. Thanks once again to Al once again for locating my missing post. Not sure how it landed there. its possible I updated the wrong Synergistic Threa... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I posted yesterday eve and it was apparently deleted within the hour.I spent a fair amount of time last night carefully comparing and writing the results just to have it deleted.The fuse was fine but I can't say I heard any clear difference eithe... |
