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.

These days when we go to a client for both sound&vision togheter. We bring in tools and high tech equipment of over 12000 euro. The most think and believe it is still 1980.

You have no idea overhere how much we can go further into details. When we do a Statement Audio Pro measurement with 2 people for ony a stereo system we need about 6-8 hours in time. This is how precise we work. And we work and think at 0.25 millimeter precision.

When we have done a Statement Audio Pro measurement we need 1-2 days of rest. It does cost that much of mental energy. It is a world you not even can imagine. Based on the fact that you still live in the limited trial and error world full of assumptions.

Now I will be gone for a period of time again. We are busy with many awesome tests and upgrades right now. And many modifications as well

See ya......
Fuses influences all 8 parts of sound. You all just can focus maximum on a few of those 8 parts. Beside that you have no idea how the 8 different properties are changed.

You all still do audio by trial and error. It is an extreme limited level in working and thinking. I am really sorry for you all, but it is the truth.

Each fuse does it differently compared to the other one. But you still need to be able to think in properties to understand which one will be the best. So you still do it all by trial and error.

You only can test a fuse when it is used for 4 weeks of time. Before that you cannot make a good evaluation at all.

You need a system what can reveal all the details, layers and emotion of the recording. And you need to be able to extract all the different properties of each individual part in your system. You need to understand the acoustics. And you need to understand the influence of smog, magnetism and high frequent noise regarding your system at home.

When you have no idea how this works...........it will be pure gambling!!
bo1972... You could easily win the international "Hot-Air" award for first place..... See ya!!!
Hahahahaha...I don't need and want any kind of reward. This is not how we are raised. Most rewards are useless and are not based on real facts. 

I just want to be like my dad. A thank you is more than enough  :)
From the Yanni vs laurel thread:
My post was hinting about how there is likely going to be a strong correlation in the fuse and cable debate, and where that person stands in the fuse/cable debate..vs whether they hear yanni or laurel.

I suspect that some minimal majority at the least, of the fuse ’non believers’ will be of the laurel type.

That some minimal majority of some sort, that hear yanni, will be of the fuse believing type.

If there isn’t then that will also explain another critical point, one that is slightly deeper in the puzzle vs proofing game..
Ie, if the proposition is wrong than that is just one more excellent data point that is just as useful.
Time for a poll?
It has to be done now, while there are enough people looking.
