No I do not work for Synergistic Research. I am not a paid reviewer. I do not get samples. I do not get an industry discount.
I have a fairly limited time to evaluate possible upgrades. I certainly do not have the time or money to try all the products being developed and released.
Therefore I do not jump around from manufacturer to manufacturer and product to product. For me using a slow meticulous approach to an addition to one of my systems has been the most rewarding from a sonic standpoint.
For the last several months I have spent a lot of time evaluating fuses and A/C outlets in my the three systems. I have tried to report what I have heard as so not everyone will have to repeat the experiment.
I do think after an audiophile has a speaker, amp, front end, and room acoustics picked, the audiophile can then make or break those choices with cables, fuses, and A/C outlets.
The Synergistic Research Black fuses and Black outlets have made an enormous improvement in my systems when considering the cost of a fuse to a new amp or a pair of Elrog 300b tubes. I hope (as does oregonpapa) that Audiophiles will not overlook evaluating an improved fuse in their quest for improved music listening.
