The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....


New SR BLUE fuse thread ...

I’ve replaced all 5 of the SR BLACK fuses in my system with the new SR BLUE fuses. Cold, out of the box, the BLUE fuses stomped the fully broken-in SR BLACKS in a big way. As good as the SR BLACK fuses were/are, especially in comparison with the SR RED fuses, SR has found another break-through in fuses.

1. Musicality ... The system is totally seamless at this point. Its as if there is no system in the room, only a wall to wall, front to back and floor to ceiling music presentation with true to life tonality from the various instruments.

2. Extension ... I’ve seemed to gain about an octave in low bass response. This has the effect of putting more meat on the bones of the instruments. Highs are very extended, breathing new life into my magic percussion recordings. Vibes, chimes, bells, and triangles positioned in the rear of the orchestra all have improved. I’ve experienced no roll-off of the highs what so ever with the new BLUE fuses. Just a more relaxed natural presentation.

3. Dynamics ... This is a huge improvement over the BLACK fuses. Piano and vibes fans ... this is fantastic.

I have a Japanese audiophile CD of Flamenco music ... the foot stomps on the stage, the hand clapping and the castanets are present like never before. Want to hear natural sounding castanets? Get the BLUE fuses.

4. Mid range ... Ha! Put on your favorite Ben Webster album ... and a pair of adult diapers. Play Chris Connor singing "All About Ronnie," its to die for.

Quick .... someone here HAS to buy this double album. Its a bargain at this price. Audiophile sound, excellent performance by the one and only Chris Connor. Yes, its mono ... but so what? Its so good you won’t miss the stereo effects. If you’re the lucky person who scores this album, please post your results here.

Overall impressions:

Where the RED fuses took about 20 hours to sound their best, and the BLACK fuses took upwards of 200 hours of total break-in, the BLUE fuses sounded really good right out of the box ... and that’s without doing anything about proper directional positioning. Not that the BLUE fuses don’t need breaking in, they do. The improvement continues through week three. Its a gradual break-in thing where each listening session is better than the last.

Everything I described above continues to break new ground in my system as the fuses continue breaking in. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to tear myself away from the system in order to get things done. Its truly been transformed into a magical music machine. With the expenditure of $150.00 and a 30 day return policy there’s really nothing to lose. In my system, its like upgrading to a better pre amp, amp, CD player or phono stage. Highly recommended.

Kudos to Ted Denney and the entire staff at SR. Amazing stuff, guys. :-)

PS: If you try the SR BLUE fuses, please post your results here. Seems the naysayers, the Debbie Downers and Negative Nellie’s have hijacked the original RED fuse thread. A pox on their houses and their Pioneer receivers.

Almarg,

You and I are on the same page regarding fuses. Don’t know what else to say.


Cheers!
almarg being on the same page as mapman can’t be a good thing, not from their perspective anyway. Looks like team takes one up the old wazoo. I don’t know what else to say. 😬
Quantum coupling will undoubtedly go down in annuals of audiophile history as one of the greatest strokes of genius, just in terms of coming up with a great name for something. Certainly a name that is both provocative and quite irritating to naysayers. Two for one! You know, what with a bazillion of their products sold that have Quantum Coupling applied. Credit where credit is due.

It doesn’t matter what you call it. The only thing that matters is how many you sell. Hel-loo! You guys seem to think this is some sort of Quantum Physics peer review. Give me a break! You guys can’t even figure out what the heck Graphene is for. Time to hang it up. Quick summary: Synergistic Research 200,000. Naysayers 0.

Truth pretty much always resides somewhere in the middle between  two extreme points of view.

That's the page I choose to be on.  

Also yesterday  I lobed a big fat softball right down your alley to knock out of the park and impress all and  you took it for a called strike.   Like you almost always do.   You better work on your swing.

Cheers!

I have no idea how I could even begin to do blind testing in my house.
Who would change fuses for me? My wife? She would blow herself up, or my equipment, not sure which would be more upsetting.....😇😇😇

More a case of logistics in my application of this matter.
