Now I’m glad I didn’t bicycle all the way out to RMAF. 🚴♂️
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
There are fuses, and then, there are fuses.
I'm evaluating some prototype fuses that I received in the mail three days ago.
Over the past few years, I've used fuses from five different manufacturers. The last three were the Red, Black and Blue fuses from Synergistic Research. Each one incrementally improved the sound of my system. My favorite so far was the SR Blue.
The prototype fuses being evaluated presently raises the SQ beyond all of the others mentioned above. The major improvement to my ears is better tonal accuracy. Instruments and voices are more life-like. The noise is reduced allowing for a more solid 3-D presentation with the musicians more solidly presented on the sound stage. Overall, more information is fleshed out of CDs and LPs.
The manufacturer, the price and the name of the prototype fuses will come later. I don't have the information thus far. My understanding is, if all works out, the release date is to be mid-October.
Stay tuned ...

uberwaltz ... Yesterday’s listening session turned out to be a marathon. Two fellow audiophiles came over with some fantastic records (LPs). The prototype fuses continue breaking in. Things are still a little laid back, but with an overall improvement in inner-detail, sound staging and focus. Where the soundstage used to start at the plane of the speakers and go back to the back wall, it now starts behind the speakers and goes to the back wall. In other words, the presentation isn’t as upfront as it was prior to the prototype fuses being installed. I like the effect. The fellow A’goner present for the session had just returned from the Rocky Mountain show. His comment was ... "with the exception of maybe two systems displayed at the show, nothing could touch what we're hearing here. And even they couldn’t do what this system is doing." So, the general consensus is that the prototype fuses are a winner and an overall improvement over the previous fuses used in the system. By the way, one of the beautiful recordings listened to yesterday was a 45 rpm reissue of a Nat King Cole LP brought to the session by the fellow A’goner. It was fantastic. The Audio-Technica OC-9 MK III is a very revealing and musical cartridge ... and a bargain to boot. Frank |
