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 ...

I’ve been eating a lot of fish!
You stink

Step 7: Get SR themselves to start posting to refute any claims about their fuses no these pages and the danger that the "non technical" are putting themselves into playing around inside their equipment.
Step 8: They won’t, as the moment they do they become liable if any of the "non technical" get injured or hurt with electrocution, swapping in and out AC mains fuses with their knowledge, they leave it up to their shills and maybe Agon to take the blame.

"Wow!!! just looked at your history, out of 8 pages of post, possibly 6 pages of which are on the Synergistic Research fuses, others are on other voodoo SR gadgets."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        You lie!

Steps in the Scientific Process:
  • Step 0: UNDERSTAND what the scientific process is.
  • Step 0.1: Learn how to design an experiment.
  • Step 0.2: Learn how to test for bias and how to eliminate

If anyone, I mean anyone actually did a controlled listening test, not even measurements, but an actual controlled listening test (which is double blind by the way), then may, just maybe there would be no ridicule when one claims enormous improvements .... just like the other enormous improvements all the other tweaks did. I hate to think that the system started out like ...

  • Step 1: Ask a question. ie: Can fancy fuses possibly be of benefit/change anything?
  • Step 2: Do background research. ie: Read reviews/feedback/empirical evidence.
  • Step 3: Construct a hypothesis. ie: Opinions vary widely, but- everyone’s right.
  • Step 4: TEST your hypothesis by doing an EXPERIMENT. ie: ACTUALLY TRY THEM.
  • Step 5: Analyze the data and draw a conclusion. ie: Did I hear a difference, good or bad?
  • Step 6: Share your results on AudiogoN. caveat: If positive; be prepared for scorn and ridicule, for being so foolish, as to actually go through the Scientific Process, instead of being convinced by another’s theories.

Users are free to post hear free of you're personal attacks, ridicule, and threats there is no need to conduct scientific tests even though many of us have done just that.
