| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. lalitk ... The man asked the question. I provided the answer. By the way, I just bought a private jet with my royalties. See you in Paris. Frank | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... lalitk ... The post was in response to this:"To qualify what I mean by the ’signal path’ I mean the conductors that carry the signal - power supply rails are not part of the signal path (I have a feeling that some people here would claim my fridge... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Has anyone tried unplugging all of the household appliances during a listening session ... TV, dimmer switches, and especially the refrigerator? | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. allenf1963The fuses are used in your electronics, like amps, line stages, phono stages, and speakers that use fuses like Maggies. The Orange fuse under discussion here is made by Synergistic Research in Santa Ana, California. The owner and lead de... | |
| Wife trouble My wife told me that she married me for my sense of humor. I told her that I thought it was because I was great in bed. She said .... see? ...I just love your sense of humor. | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. ^^^ I've been more than satisfied with ARC. Been a customer since the early 1980s. As stated before, I no longer chase the upgrade path. Only tweaks for me from now on. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. ^^^I remember when I swapped out the KT-120 tubes in the REF-75 for the KT-150s. No need for a/b comparisons there at all. Nor was there any need for a/b comparisons in swapping out the SR Blue fuses for the SR Orange fuses. In both cases, the imp... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. david_ten ...I appreciate your questioning of my methodology in testing the new fuses. You are totally correct in doing so.1. Yes, aural memory is fickle and tricky. The fuses were stock, right out of the box. Even though they weren’t broken in, t... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. uberwaltz ...I hear you. Someone in another thread, maybe it was you, asked if there was a demand on the secondary market for used after-market fuses. I've never tried to sell them, opting instead to just giving them away to my down-and-out audi... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. david_ten ...Correct. All of my evaluations are based upon what I hear in my own system, no one else's. Over time, I've been fairly consistent in saying that. Same electronics. Same music. Same cabling. The only change made were the fuses. Out wi... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. david_ten ..."Frank, how did you conduct the comparison? Thanks."I had the Blue fuses in the system for over two years. I pulled them out and installed the Orange fuses. Then, I listened to the difference. -----------------------------------------... | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. ^^^ Amp, line stage, phono stage, and the CD player. Four fuses total. | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... ^^^ Don't know yet. There were a couple of folks who tried both the SR Blue fuse and the Beeswax fuse. Some felt there were trade-offs. The Orange fuse is significantly better than the Blue fuse, so let that be your guide.Frank | |
| The Synergistic Research Orange Fuse ... Further thoughts. ^^^ jafreeman ... I am convinced there is no limit to improving the same components in a system---no need to upgrade for over eight years now. Exactly. Even with all of the PPT products in the system, including The Gate, the SR Orange fuses bro... | |
| New SR Orange fuse ... ^^^ ... Yes, you have to buy the Reds, the Blacks and the Blues. This allows you to pass Go, and only then are you eligible to buy the Orange fuses. :-)I suspect that the masking tape reduces micro-vibrations in the fuse. Frank |
